Comments (51)It looks like the duct running above the window is only feeding a single register, is that right? If so, there may be a way to replace that larger duct with two smaller ducts, or install an in-duct fan in a single smaller duct to provide the same airflow through a smaller diameter duct. If the duct and the sofit could be reduced to a 7" x 7" size, you would be able to put furring and crown along it to match the 7" furring above the uppers. What room upstairs is getting that heat? If is is a bathroom, you could consider in floor heat or some other heating option and take out the duct entirely. Also, if it is a larger room, is there a reason that the register has to be above the window? Could the register be above the point where the duct run goes vertically up the wall? Could the duct run all the way to the ceiling of the second floor and provide heat from above instead of from below? Drywall and duct modification should not be a huge expense after the fact, but if there is a way to heat that room without the register in that location and do it now, I would strongly suggest it. Otherwise, have them at least take out the portion of the soffit where the duct is missing and make the soffit only as wide as the duct, not the full 12", so you have less to repair later....See Morekitchen cabinet nightmare!
Comments (27)I see what you mean with kitchen not being completely there. After staring for a bit I am thinking it might be too ‘cluttered’ on the eyes. There are too many show stopper items so all competing. The back splash and tile do go together well. I think the countertops are too busy with it though. So either a great countertop to pull the eyes or a great backsplash but not both. The island is very distracting. I agree with wrapping it in same door style as rest of kitchen but in offsetting color so maybe a dark brown or cream. Whatever will work with backsplash or countertop. Or in a shade that matches your accent color scheme throughout main living area. I would also lower it counter height instead if bar height. So decide on what key piece you want to highlight (cabinets, backsplash, or countertops) and go from there in replacing the rest. I personally do not have backsplash since find it very hard to not get the cluttered feeling since have trim and nice cabinets with multi shade countertop. You can also pick up or order samples. Will be worth the money to see it all together before it is installed and too late. Make sure to pay the money for ‘big’ samples and not couple inches ones. There are sample paint sizes so paint cardboard etc and lean up on wall and stare at for a few days too....See MoreNew cabinets are a nightmare--Help!
Comments (40)@joseph_corlett I hope it doesn't sound like I'm trying to slander anyone, because I'm not. I'm just frustrated with the whole process. Our GC is Jenkins Restorations. There is one guy actually performing most of the work, although a lot has been subcontracted out further, e.g. brick masons, electricians, etc. There is a project manager from Jenkins who does the coordinating and ordering so I would imagine he was responsible for the timeline of deliveries. I'm not sure what the main laborer's affiliation/role is with Jenkins, but he seems very competent and his work thus far has been quality, as far as I can tell. He does work slow, but in his defense, he was apparently told he had a year to do the job, our contract said 8 months, and our insurance company claims they were promised 6 months. IDK where the disconnect is, but here we are stuck in the middle living in an RV....See MorePaint sales at Home Depot
