What do you think of this problem with our foundation?
Comments (5)Funny, in a build I did a few years ago, the surveyor gave the excavator the wrong cut--too shallow by a foot. My faith in the surveyor overcame my common sense and I didn't increase the pour height. So the basement walls had to be heightened. I chose to raise them two blocks, about 16.5" overall. This was on top of a poured foundation. But whether poured or block, it's not unusual to add height. The blocks may have to be anchored with rebar drilled into the foundation and the topmost course has to be solid or filled....See MorePullout Problem - What Would You Do?
Comments (10)Can you post a pic? A little confused with the way you are described the pullout with 2 drawers on the pullout and then shelves. Is the bottom shelf the bottom drawer? If you post a picture, maybe there is something that can be done to modify your existing pullout. Not sure if it is one of the pre-fab ones like the rev-a-shelf. I have a 15" pullout. Its full height, no drawer above. Its made to look like a drawer and door front. Inside there are three rollout drawers. The drawer/door front is attached to the bottom drawer. So when you pull out the drawer front (Since I only have hardware on the drawer front piece) the bottom drawer rolls out. Then I have two other rollouts that are independent. One is up high at normal drawer height and I currently have my spices there. Then the second rollout has my oils, vinegars, salts, etc. In the bottom rollout that is connected to the drawer/door panel, I currently have grains like Pasta, Rice and sauce. I had the sides drilled out so I can always move the two inner rollouts up or down. I just started using my Kitchen a few weeks ago and probably still need to move and shuffle some things around....See MoreColor palette problems -- what would you do?
Comments (20)Lyfia, I laughed when I saw your post, my SW swatch book is what got me into this mess ;-) We picked a second color this morning in the same vein, but darker: SW Lanyard. Here it is: I think this works for us. We have three doors and trim in the green room to paint, and hope we can also use the same color for a the other doors in the house for continuity's sake. You can see it on the door between the kitchen and the dining room. The top half is the Restrained Gold, the bottom is the Lanyard. The dining room is RL Maleya Red, and we are planning on keeping that color. Unless I find the perfect shade of eggplant purple! Thank you all for your help and advice!...See MoreA slight cabinet color problem - what would you do?
Comments (3)I would be afraid to mix the aura and cabinet coat--based on nothing except not knowing what could happen and fearing all my work painting would be ruined if there was a reaction. What about living with it a bit and if you still don't like it, bringing the 1/2 gallon of cabinet coat back to the store and have them add something to warm it up. This is assuming the 1/2 gallon is enough to coat all the cabinets again and still have a little left for retouches....See Morevfish
