Help with sink base cabinet, please.....X-posted on Kitchen forum
Comments (12)Lass, when I lived for a year in a friend's old Riverhouse, the kitchen had a huge sink very similar to that one, with the faucet mounted on the wall beneath the window. I never took a picture of that side of the kitchen showing those details, I don't think. But, I'll look. Seems I did snap a pic of a parrot sitting on the faucet....... That side of the kitchen was mostly the sink and had base cabs at either side. The middle span was cabinet also, but had 2 doors opening to reveal the plumbing and just "stuff" for cleaning kept down there. I could ask the friend to take a picture of it for me. It was a really heavy sink, enamel over cast iron. What MamaGoose says makes good sense. Even a tension rod in the middle would hold a curtain across the open area between two base cabs supporting it....just don't make the span too open....See MoreCleaning water under my kitchen cabinet base
Comments (2)The fact you found wood behind toekick indicate's cabinets were built in place instead of setting preconstructed cabinets in place. That almost certainly mean's there is a 2x4 going from toekick to back wall between floor and shelf beneath sink. Water leaking from sink and making it's way under cabinet happen's every day and doesn't cause a problem. I've changed bottoms in sink bases that were rotted out as result of multiple and/or ongoing leaks and no one had dried up afterwards. I wouldn't worry about it....See MoreQ - how many cabinets/drawers are in an average kitchen?

Comments (4)I think I would be really wanting to do the consrtuction part of the new fllooring before painting it is easy to cover the floor while apint ing not so easy to fix chipped new paint while installing floor. I am aurious to know why just replacing cabinet doors on base cabonets since IMO all base cabinets should be drawers when you are spending this amount of money . I also do not like floor taken up the to cabinets I much prefer the flooring goind inder the cabinets afor a nice look and of course you do know you will need to remove the flooring under any appliances that sit on the floor to install the new floor ....See MoreSunnyDJ
