Help with trough sink for wet bar...
Comments (1)I don't have one but am intrigued. Hopefully the link below will at least provide you with some good pics. Here is a link that might be useful: Bigger trough sink for wet bar...See MoreHelp! Wet bar in tight space
Comments (0)I am remodeling our basement and planning to put in a wet bar. The wet bar area is in a corner. The left side of the wall is 52" and right side is 70". Both walls open to other areas so the cabinets can't go beyond the mentioned dimensions I have the electrician put in the outlets for fridge and microwave. The outlets are about 16" from the left end of the left wall. The plumbing is on the right end of the left wall. I would like to put the sink (probably a 14.4" round one) at the corner. I would also like to have a microwave shelf in the upper cabinet. I can't figure out the layout due to the tight space and the existing outlets/plumbing locations. The off the shelf corner base cabinets are at least 36"x36", which leaves me 16" for the fridge. However the fridges are usually about 20". I am really stuck. Please help!...See MoreHelp! Proper venting for basement wet bar
Comments (2)The vent is sealed at all times, except when water is running, and then it is pulling air into the pipe: there is no moisture issue with a properly functioning AAV. However, you will need to make that vent accessible for changeout, and to allow air to flow in when the water is running down the drain. So: 1) you should install a grate to allow access and air flow, and 2) make sure that when foam is sprayed it is kept completely away from the AAV so that it works properly (any foam getting on the AAV mechanism or blocking air flow to it would render the AAV nonfunctional)....See MoreWet Bar decor help!!
Comments (5)Do you use it as a bar? There doesn’t Seem to be space to mix & serve drinks. Do you need a place for folks to gather? Place drinks? Have snacks?. Where does the bartender sit or stand? i think you need to focus on the purpose of the room and then decide on a decorating style. My bar, for example, in the pics, was going for a traditional cozy but functional pub atmosphere. Once you settle in on what you want, the rest should come naturally....See MoreDerek Schmit
