I am stuck with cabinets- need to order - need help!
Comments (4)Slab doors and drawers in maple, birch or select oak with a good stain finish seems a possibility here. Have you looked at the many semi-custom and custom cabinet makers who now produce what is called exotic veneer finish in a slab door? Kind of like what Coco Chanel reproduced in her kitchen, or at least part of it? It's a nice look for the right kitchen....See MoreHelp please: Nozzle stuck on hose
Comments (10)This is what I do and it works on properly threaded but corroded couplings, despite any nay sayers. First heat it up a little...no need for torches if you live in a hot sunny clime & its summer, a blazing summer sun will heat the metal up plenty. Just get it hot enough that it is painful to the touch but not necessarily blistering heat. Then liberally apply WD40. Try to get the lubricant INTO the threads, wiggle the nozzle as much as you can, spray, wiggle, spray, wiggle, etc. Let it sit in the sun for a couple of hours. Get a hammer and holding the HOSE near the nozzle, with the threads on the downward, gravity side, start tapping all around the nozzle's connection, tap harder all around, keep it up for a minute or two. Don't hit it hard enough to do any damage but don't be a lightweight about it either. Now try to unscrew it...hopefully you see a little wiggle room now. Spray some more WD40 into the threads...wiggle wiggle wiggle....hammer hammer hammer. Now unscrew the damn thing. Told you it worked. No need to damage a perfectly good hose...especially the good ones...clean the screw thread and grease them well before putting a nozzle or anything else back on...a wire bristled brush would be useful if you see corrosion on the threads....See MoreStuck on Layout - Please Help

Comments (42)Yes, a prep sink there fixes the prep counter issues we were discussing, assuming all the measurements work out (prep sink as drawn looks quite small -- I assume it'd be bigger in real life). A 60w x 40d prep counter with easy water access is ideal, as far as I'm concerned. I do really encourage you to mock things up, though. Tape off a 60w x 40d area on a table and try prepping there. See if you want more or less room in either direction. That's how I decided for myself that 6' was too wide for me, but there are plenty of people who would love such a wide counter. Carrie B (a gardenwebber who just remodeled her kitchen) tested 30" deep counters when she was planning and found them to be uncomfortably deep for her and required too much stretching. I forget how tall she is, but she is on the short end, so that is why deep counters were uncomfortable for her (difficult for her to reach the full depth). I'm 5'9", and I love extra depth in my prep counter and have no trouble reaching anything. You will want to use the counter on both sides of the sink, so the counter in front of the seat closest to the prep sink will likely always be in use while cooking and often wet. You can put a seat there, but I think it will not be a popular seat. Trash should go under the prep counter/prep sink somewhere. You generate almost all your trash while prepping, not while doing dishes at the clean-up sink. The walkway between the prep counter and cooktop looks very narrow. Like, 30" wide, which would be ridiculously uncomfortable. How wide is it actually meant to be in your approximation? The island is huge and very deep in places and almost square-shaped. Slabs come in rectangles usually, so you are probably setting yourself up for a gnarly seam if you get stone/quartz. What counter material did you have in mind? Very deep counters can be hard to clean because you can't reach all the way across or even to the middle. Try making a to-scale island top out of cardboard in this shape, put it on table and see how you feel about wiping that counter down....See Morekudzu9
