Help! new problem: slide-in range doesn't fit!
Comments (13)From that spec sheet, it looks like the 31 5/16'' refers to the trim piece on the top of the range that should sit on the granite. Is the range itself wider than 30'' below the trim piece so it won't slide in it all? And from the picture, the front edge of the range should protrude ~2'' when the range has slid back all the way. As I mentioned earlier, I had my granite fabricator shave the granite so my range could slide back about an extra inch or so. If you slide your range in further, will you have room to open the doors on adjacent cabinets? There should be 1+'' clearance allowed for that....See MoreHelp - Micro/convection oven doesn't fit!
Comments (1)I'm not familiar with that specific model but I know sears often put "see instructions with unit" or something on most/all of there online specifications tabs. Then they don't give you access to those manuals, good ol' sears - thanks. For most conv/micros the most important clearance is usually the top and bottom. Think about it all those people with these built in above their oven in a tall cabinet. These things are @ 27" +/- and ovens go in a 27" or 30" cabinet. SO......you'd have zero side clearance or 1.5" max on the sides. They therefore such air in the bottom and exhaust out of the top or vice versa. What does the manual say about top/bottom clearances ??? Does that unit have any vent slots or holes on it's carcass side???...See MoreThose of you with lots of drawers- what doesn't fit ?
Comments (36)Mom23Es: I'll repeat the first advice I took to heart when I discovered these GW forums: There is no right answer, so observe how you really work in your kitchen. Plan where everything will go before you plan your cabinets. Do you have anything that won't fit in a deep drawer? Do you mind getting on your knees and searching the back of a traditional base cab? For me, the only things that won't fit in a deep drawer are things I only use a few times a year, and they can go in the root cellar pantry (dehydrator, big pressure cooker for canning, etc.). I use my mixer and food processor several times a week, so they stay on the counter. Even the crockpot fits in a drawer and is so much easier to get to than in a base cab. But that's how I use MY kitchen. How do you use yours?...See MoreNew pine doesn’t match old, replace with slate?
Comments (7)I would do the 6x12 slate in the kitchen and run it in the correct direction for the kitchen. I think a good tiler could make the transition work. I have seen plenty of tile floors run through different rooms where the tiler has cut some to make it transition. I am not explaining it well at all. If you go that route make sure the tiler draws you up how he would transition....See MoreHeidi Kostrey
