I think you are looking for the spec book. I got mine from the KD at Lowes. They usually have extras laying around as they get updated manuals every 3 months. If they don't have any extra spec books, you can go at any time without an appoinment and work on your own. Just ask them for the Schuler spec book and sit at the desk. My KD did not give it to me until she trusted I was committed to buying from there. Schuler can do almost any modification that you need so you can probably plan your kitchen based on standard cabinets and go from there. The sizes are standard in 3 inch increments. And yes, they are higher quality than Kraftmaid. When I got my Schuler cabinets at Lowes last Feb, plywood was standard construction. If plywood is no longer standard, I think the cabinet boxes themselves are similar but Schuler can do more modifications. I had a Kraftmaid kitchen in my house 5 years back and Schuler's quality is better. Also, I asked for 10% off the price when I was about to order. The manager at Lowes said okay right away. I would be wary of Lowes installers since that seems to be where people run into problems. Of course, there are good ones too, but you are playing roulette. Good luck. I would mail you my book but I am working on 2 bathrooms and I am using Schuler again. They are great!

Yo Ken, if your still around your up on this one. Far as Composites go I am with the Larry/whoever We are for the most part. Composites are really no longer using recycled material because there is just not enough of it so most of the raw stuff is virgin,the energy used to make composite is an enviro no no, when its time to remove the project composite is not real big on bio degrade its tricky to burn shreading it would be silly. Bottom line composites are not so enviro freindly. Info like that might suggest its not all that good to clean it either, with anything. I dont agree>> composites will out last Ipe, left to go silver/gray Ipe is as close to no maintance as a person can get. With the softer composites like Choice/MoistureShield even trex= tjunk I have found a coat or two of TWP 116 seals up the decking,locks in the color and keeps mold,mildew,stains from causing major problems. Of course not needing to do this is the reason the Wallet goes for composite in the first place. I my own self dont like composites at all for the reasons stated in several posts here and on other sites. Welcome aboard Larry!!! Sorry I dident understand your intent at the begining . John

Go back. Where did this start? You wanted the riser gone.You wanted white subway. Pick one. I like Alyse Edwards " Tongue in Chic in 2 x 10 color "you don't snow me" . Has a lovely hand cut look. Cabinets to the ceiling. Look at the picture below. Nothing but nothing is cheaper/faster than a few studs and drywall. When you do the "soffit", add a bead of trim, add crown, paint uppers and soffit and trim all in same satin white. You get this look. If you want glass doors? Put them left and right of sink. Look at the picture...........You don't need baskets, or anything else up there. You need it filled in and trimmed. Look directly behind those lights in the photo below. Nothing more than a flush soffit. The HOOD. No matter where the micro goes, it has to go somewhere.. Get one with a drawer, for all the reasons I said earlier. Locations of controls and no door swing issue. Kitchen Aid or Sharp. A cabinet has to be re worked to accommodate ANY. For that you need the specs to any potential purchase, of any micro wave. Pick a hood. It's either built "cabinet" with an insert......or you get a stainless hood. Either option is a huge improvement / major upgrade over the current situation atop the cook top. You want " White and espresso " The easiest way to get it is just what I said. Paint all the uppers as I just typed ............do all of that before you worry on a pergola. Design is like pulling a thread on a sweater. Pick a feel you want and follow the "thread" to the feel. PS Hardware. Any hardware you like goes with white subway tile. Which is where you began. ............right? One more..........." rustic detail on the island" How and where and what? Unless you are going to remove it, build a new island.......what and where and in what way? For that, don't reinvent a wheel. But be prepared to enlarge a bit, and get a new TOP that's the issue. I go back to "why" . Decide it you want it white, or to remain espresso. At some point you have to get past a lone big toe in the pool water, and jump or dive.
