Wrong Kitchen Colour Help!!! Unique Situation
Comments (8)Only you know if the cabinets bug you enough to spend the kind of money on them that it would take to make them the color that you want. But expecting any manufacturer to do anything after 6 years is unreasonable and ridiculous. There's not a chance that after 6 years of wear and tear that any cabinet maker will ever change those doors and drawers out. And no, they won't take them back and spray them either without charging you almost the same that they would for new doors and drawers---which is pretty much industry standard cost. That's actually MORE work than finishing the doors was in the first place. And it wouldn't take care of the face frames. If you want to have them professionally sprayed by a painter that knows what he's doing, then expect to spend 3-7K on the project. And it won't be a factory finish. But it will be easier for you to touch up with "regular" paint than a factory finish will be....See MoreUnique bar light situation
Comments (7)I am not sure how to post multiple pictures at a time. Anyway this is a picture of the 4 small rustic pendants from pottery barn hanging over the basement bar. Excuse the mess and boxes...and the bar counter we are laminating a new color....and that tv really does not go there...and..never mind there are just too many things wrong.:) Just know we are renovating upstairs and down.:) Thank-you for the above advice. I know recessed lighting probably makes the most sense, but I feel like it looks incomplete. I wish I had taken a picture without the lights, so I could post it. What do you think of the 4 lights in the old eyeball recessed lighting holes? The one closest to the window seems maybe a little too snug to the wall. I will post another picture of only 3 lights hanging....See MoreBonding neutral and ground at main panel- Unique situation
Comments (7)normel, your observations and understanding of the present set up seems accurate. The remote distribution panel between the meter and house used to be a 60a cartridge fused motor safety switch. After identifying the wires from the safety switch to the house as being rated for only 30a each, I replaced it with a SquareD 100a load distribution center (HOM612L100RB), in which I installed the two 30a double pole breakers, one for each feeder (the safety switch was ruined as explained earlier). At the time, it seemed to be the safest quick-fix solution to get the power back on inside the house. (These two breakers are the disconnects for the individual feeders to the house that I wrote of earlier, manchild.) I figured that if the load on either one these two feeders were to exceed their 30a capacity, the respective breaker would be tripped at the remote panel, thereby preventing a potential fire/shock hazard due overload. Since the single service feeder from the meter box to the remote panel between the meter and the house is not rated for 100 amps, could I temporarily improve this situation by replacing the 100a breaker at the meter with a 60a breaker? I think that the #4 AL is supposed to be able to safely carry 65 amps. I have no idea how to go about relocating the replacement for the Zinsco panel outside of the laundry room. (I may have caused some confusion by previously calling the laundry room a washroom. Sorry about that.) Is there any approved method of extending the branch circuit wires so that the panel could be relocated, or is it okay to have a panel box in a laundry room? Thanks again guys, for trying to help me out with this challenging problem....See MoreLooking for Paint Color Advice - unique situation
Comments (14)I see a fan chain in one pic.....for a moderate price you could go for a really edgy stainless steel fan to up the oomph value in the kitchen? And the curtains are pretty but look dated....roman shades would look more on trend and could be fabric or woven wood; You tube shows a non sew roman shade that looks pretty good if you are crafty. I personally think custom matched paint from the cabinet color for the walls would look pretty nice too, but just my opinion. And bar/rod style ss pulls would go a long way to lifting the kitchen to a more current vibe....See MoreLinda Doherty
