this_old_1969_ranch: Your fabricator is running the seams the wrong way. He's going to have 170" of seam and he only needs 102 3/4", plus the direction will be much more noticeable and the selection of material is severely limited by his method. I've drawn his method on the left and mine on the right and the cut sheet. Notice how my method leaves 101" of unused material that can be "shopped" for better seam match. You've got a 2 sheet job no matter how you cut it. I would rough out the "L" wide, seam it together, and rip the drop edges off the sides so they'd match perfectly. Yes, I know DuPont doesn't recommend a drop edge, but those specs are written by engineers whose paychecks cash no matter. My specs are written by a guy who doesn't get paid unless the lady is happy. Although I've never fabricated this material, I'm certain that a drop edge laminated into a 7/16" x1/2" rabbet will look every bit as good or better than a miter with a lot less work and no need for a V-groover. I couldn't read your dimensions so I just scaled and guessed, but nothing will change substantially anyway. This post was edited by Trebruchet on Thu, Sep 18, 14 at 22:49

**ETA: I'm really feeling for you with this project. I know how exciting it is to give yourself the green light for an investment like this and then meet obstacles along the way. Also, if I remember correctly, you came here with a near-complete plan with only a simple question about a 12" cabinet? I could be wrong. At any rate, your kitchen is going to be great and like many here who can testify you'll be glad you refined your plan via GW.*** Thanks for letting us know about the plumbing. In that case... I know you just put a new window in your kitchen, but I really believe you're not going to optimize your space unless you get the sink and range together without traffic between them. I skimmed the thread and I didn't see anyone mentioned this before. I suggest you consider moving the range to the alcove with windows on either side. You could add counter seating on the dining room side, but only if the dining room is at the very least 11 feet across and no furniture besides a table and chairs.

Always choose the item that would be hardest to match first. I.E, choose your granite. Paint is easy and is always the last thing.

This is not a new build. I can’t do anything about the roof or potential leaking. We’ll cross that bridge if it comes. Right now, we need to replace this gross siding. The roof is an ugly reddish/orange/brown. Mostly reddish brown. This pic was taken in the rain so a little darker than most days.
