12 inch deep trench for controlling rhizome spread
Comments (3)It works, but the trench needs to be renewed each year. I find mounding the center a couple of feet also helps. Growing bamboo near trees also lessens the spreading. Shade tolerance varies and you want to find a happy medium....See MoreWhere to find a 27 inch deep hood?
Comments (15)If your upper cabinets haven't been ordered, you could order 15" deep cabinets for the run above the range, rather than standard 12" deep cabinets. That way, pulling a 24" hood out 3" from the back wall would line up perfectly with the 15" deep cabinet fronts. You'd still need to put a 3" filler strip between the back wall and the back of the hood, but that's easily accomplished. I did this in my kitchen because all of my counters are 30" deep and uppers are 15" deep. I love the extra counter space and having deeper uppers means that extra large plates or other large items fit without any problem. I installed a Vent-A-Hood 9" tall X 24" deep X 48" wide range hood. The hood extends out 27" from the back wall with a 3" stainless steel filler strip installed behind the hood. Sorry, I can't remember how to post a photo on GardenWeb (I tried), or I'd be able to post an image....See MorePairing 27-inch deep lower cupboards and 12-inch uppers
Comments (8)I appreciate the input from CircusPeanut, Lascatx, Fori, Doraville, GizmoNike. Thanks so much. Lots of agony, sturm and drang until midnight, but have decided with DH that the cupboards will not be extra deep. It was a long and gentle argument I won't bore you with. But just remember as you read further that I am the "Queen of the Tablesettings." So...Now in the plans, there are two 20-inch pullout breadboards on that bank of lower cupboards to provide additional launching and "plunk space" and chopping/prep surface slightly lower than countertop and allowing stool use for long sitting if the boards are used for multi-cook occasions. One of them will have a direct view outside, perhaps centered on a bird feeder. The upper cupboards as I said previously will hold everyday drinking glasses, wine glasses, dishes, serving pieces on lower 2 shelves; less used but attractive glassware and serving pieces on upper two shelves; fronts are rough semi-translucent glass. The window separates the two doubledoor upper cupboards. The whole wall is designated in my plans as launching place for tablesetting and for a beverage/bar station and for sandwich making. In my G design, this is the top of the G. There is a lazy susan that turns the corner from top of G to side of G. Lazy susan will hold cereal and cracker boxes, hard liquor, canned appetizers and salsas, coffee and tea gear, teapot, canned beverages (we drink pop and juice only occasionally), auxiliary induction hotplate and electric warmer unit for serving, At the top of the G, the lower cupboard has two stacks of 3 symmetrical drawers about a yard wide each. The top drawer closest to refrig and dining room will contain everyday flatware and napkins and other yet-to-be-named stuff. There's a possibility that I can fit it with silvercloth dividers to hold a set of everyday silverplate flatware that currently is stored in a box. The other top drawer will have a) beer/wine openers, a couple paring knives, tea balls, hors d'ouvres- and cheese- serving gear b) candle-related and flower arranging gear (matches, candles, short candlesticks, "frogs," bobeches, shears). Two sets of deeper symmetrical drawers below will hold some of my china and the offseason dishes destined to be used on deck/patio in summer, which can be rotated upward to more accessible places in season. I have given up the idea of making a tablecloth drawer--there just isn't enough room, I fear. Instead, the horrible former front hall closet on the far side of the dining room will be outfitted with shelves to make a storage closet for vases, awkward silver serving pieces, and tablecloths hung from dowels or hangers. In a great article I read recently, another tablesetting maniac suspended her tablecloths from a closet rod and had permanent pin-on lables to indicate tablecloth size. I might be able to put two very wide table leaves in here also, rescuing them from under my bed storage now. I really wanted the deeper 27-inch drawers, but hey, Florantha, remember this mantra, "You can't have everything." I also tell myself when I get upset about all this, "If they had wanted perfection, they would have hired God." Breadboards rule!...See MoreCan I cut down my Ikea wall cabinets so they are only 12" deep?
Comments (37)Akimbo, those 8" cabinets are awesome! I am currently looking into installing an IKEA tall cabinet into my hallway linen closet to make it look like a built-in. We did a custom wardrobe in our old house with IKEA cabinets that turned out great. I love that IKEA's cabinets are so easy to modify (even though they have done everything to discourage it). The 2nd and third photos are the Kitchen we were working on when I asked you about the upper cabinet depth/microwave issue. We ended up using a spacer behind the microwave....See Morelascatx
