A KD came in and insisted we use a "step up." I'm so glad I didn't use her or a step up. With kids, or parties, having one big space is so valuable! My suggestion - put supports underneath your overhang only where you actually need them. That way you can buy two stools or three, and see how you like them. Definitely start with less than more, to make sure the stools are comfy for kids and adults. Also, you don't want the kids pushing each other off if they feel squished (mine would do that, lol). I thought we'd fit three but went down to two. Our is a 12" overhang I believe. I'd have to measure to make sure. We have the counter stools (bar stools would be for the step up). Good luck!

If the plumbing is there in the concrete where you need it for the peninsula, sure you can do a peninsula with Ikea or any other cabinet line. But if the plumbing has to be moved, then you've just lost and $$ advantage that Ikea gives you in your budget planning. And most often, people do a pony wall to contain the plumbing pipes and to give the cabinets something to attach to. You can still skin the pony wall with a cabinet skin and door panels if you want to dress it up.

Hello all. I am in the ending stages of establishing an online custom cabinet store. I believe where my store is different is that I provide custom cabinets, instead of the many knock-down or stock sites you see now. My intention is not to spam the board, and I hope it is not perceived that way. I know those of you that frequent this particular forum have spent/are spending a huge amount of time researching and designing your kitchen. Because of that I recognize that this forum is a huge resource, and hope to gain a little experience from your shopping/research skills. I am hoping a couple of you could possibly take a look around my site, and offer some critiques as to what you see on my site compared to other sites, and if I am missing anything. I am a kitchen designer #1, and a web develeper second. I know some things need proofread and adjusted. If you would email me I will send you a link to my site. Thank you in advance.

On the back of the bag of the turf builder, it said to do it once a week for 4 weeks. And it shows what the grass should be doing in each week. I got to application 3 and everything was fine. I stopped it there because then the heat came and turned everything yellow. In the picture, i applied turf builder to that area. It was great until it turned 90 and above for the weekend and it all turned yellow except for that one really green edge. I applied it there because the rest of that grass belongs to my neighbor. The watering schedule is sun, tues, and thursday at 6am for 10 minutes. The sprinklers are set up to cover the whole area that is my yard in the frpnt and back, so I can get an inch of water with those in 10 minutes. According to the landscaping company. But that just started this past sunday. A month ago i would do a spray with the hose every other day. I dont know how much i watered, but i would skip a few days after a rainy day. Maybe I watered too much. (-.-) The HOA landscapers are not optional for my neighborhood sadly. So i cannot control the mowing aspect of my lawn care, but I can control the water system and everything else.
