Pics: 1826 bathroom remodel (finished; starphire vs. regular)
Comments (37)Kevin, Can you tell me 2 things about your vanity? What is the open dimensions of the sinks? (width and front to back)? And, what is the width of the under sink cabinet portion (the part directly under the sink). Thanks! I'm planning 2 60" double vanities (for 2 bathrooms) and want to make sure I have right size cabinets and sinks....See MoreShould I get counter depth or regular size frig (pics)
Comments (14)I may be the lone voice.... I too like the look of the CD, but I have to go with function over form (and my budget won't allow for a high-end CD with the storage space I need). I will be putting the massive Samsung 26 cu ft refrigerator in my new kitchen. It will be at the end run of a counter against the wall and this should make it less noticeable (I hope). I have a fridge in the basement now and find that I prefer to have what I need in my kitchen. How large is the current fridge and has that met your needs? If not, then a larger one might be better for you. If you don't mind going back and forth to the basement, you could always go with another CD fridge and depending on your need for additional refrigerator or freezer needs, get an extra freezer for the basement as well or a larger 2nd refrigerator. Personally, I don't enjoy going up and down the stairs (I'm not that organized - it always seems that what I need is in the downstairs fridge). I will be putting our current fridge in the basement (I try to keep extras there - milk, OJ, fruit) and anticipate at some point purchasing a freezer as well. I have a DS who is only 6 and on some days has quite an appetite. I can only imagine what it will be like when he is a teenager and he and his friends raid the fridge..... A friend who just redid her kitchen did a CD but also put in refrigerator drawers (2) in her island where all the beverages are stored - could this work for you? It really freed-up space in her fridge. If I had the $$ and the space I would have done the same thing. Good luck, this isn't an easy decision....See MoreThey want 2 put new subfloor/floor on top of brand new one - long
Comments (29)You can pick out that filler depending on what they used - I tried it just to make sure in case we wanted to use something else/tile in the future as I used a lot of screws. I didn't want the kitchen higher than the living room. It would be a nightmare to do, but you can do it. The luan is what is causing the problem - that needs to be pulled up and replaced with plywood not luan. Standard practice is luan and no one we talked to was willing to use nicer plywood even at our insistance. Luan is the smooth surface - the didn't need to use something different. We made the choice to use better plywood as we choose DIY/better materials with the money we saved on labor (so, we probably aren't saving any money and its a lot of work, but we are getting some better stuff). Even if you put the vinyl under the cabinets, vinyl is easy to cut, but it also depends if they used the glue down method vs. tape. We taped ours down just in case I wanted to change my mind in the future or we ruined it redoing the hardwood floors or something else given we are redoing the rest of the house. We glued our one seam under the fridge and we probably didn't need vinyl under there but we have the ice maker and I know what's under there (I also put it under the oven but not dishwasher except where I could reach). The real questions are how did the put it down and they probably are trying to do what is easiest for them. I would want the 1/4 inch luan removed and replaced with 1/4 plywood, screw down (not nail) with deck screws so they will not rust and are solid and they need to be counter-sinked, it filled (let it set for a few days), sanded smooth, then use the tape method for the vinyl, cover with molding. (I did everything but lifting the plywood and the molding myself (husband did that), so it is an easy thing to do, so don't let them tell you how hard it is and I am not a big woman). Putting down vinyl is one of the easiest things we've done (and windows surprisingly). Debi, were you the one who they put the wrong color in? If you were, I'm not so sure given this is the second mistake, I'd want them fixing it....See Moreshare pics of skylights in flat/regular ceiling
Comments (2)Yes I have a skylight in my flat roofed office. Unfortunately I have no way to get a pix for you. My camera is on a business trip! It is a large 4 x 4 square in the ceiling. Frankly we love it. However, I put a sun-cloth on top of it because here in TX we get hail storms and I've never had it break having the cloth on it, plus that help to defer the direct light....See MoreL thomas
