Comments (1)Hi Rain, Yes, lots of us are still here, and I hope you'll get the answers you need. You said this post was about the range, but it sounds like it's really about the hood. Once you've decided on what is possible to do, you might want to start another thread so the hood experts know to chime in. First off, a practical question: Can you get a permit to remodel your kitchen given its quirks? If so, can you put your stove on an outside wall? Because that would be the very best way to make good venting possible--to vent out the wall if that's also acceptable to code and covenant. Since you mentioned your budget, I don't know if that would be too much for it, as well. Tall men can usually manage fine with standard height rangehoods, or perhaps an inch or two higher, because the cooking stance isn't erect and eyes front. OTOH, given that your guy only has 5" clearance with that absurdly low ceiling, it may be more of a problem. I don't know if you can get a good draw between the joists in your ceiling. The most important thing to know is which direction they run. If there's already a channel out to the wall, that's great, but if there are cross braces, conduits, etc., or if the joists run the wrong way, it's not going to work. Even if it doesn't draw as well as a perfectly sized round chimney duct, it'll likely be better than a downdraft. If you can do it, I'm wondering if a ceiling mounted vent might actually work on your island. Lots of people talk about them for not ruining sight lines, which I don't have a lot of sympathy with usually because once they're installed people ignore them, and there's rarely a good reason to sacrifice the function. In your case, however, a ceiling mount would be less than a foot above optimum standard. There are also pop up down drafts, which, while not being nearly as efficient as hoods, would be a lot better than your old range....See MoreBig Box store {Lowes, Home Depot} to remodel our kitchen yes or no?
Comments (10)if there is no change besides ripping out soffit and new electrical, I would visit your local hardware store with a good bulletin board. A lot of handymen are actually previous employees of bigger builders/etc...for various reasons they go off on their own. Interview by phone or email. Tell them what you want done. The electrical part will probably require separate group to come in. I would probably use Barkers or Conestoga or similar-online source of design and detail work for ready to assemble cabinets......they ship to you. Putting together is the job of handyman guy with good carpentry experience-it's not rocket science. If you are in a smaller area, I wouldn't like the Lowes/Home depot crowd to be in charge..... I notice in a larger geographic area, some of their stores have really good experienced designers. In a small area, that range of experience might be limited. Too little time and too much risk to mess around. Of course, you should offer more info on this website about your PLAN-the process follows plan. Your plan might be different once you look hard at all your choices and budget and get feedback....See MoreHelp with cabinet crown molding in kitchen with low ceiling.
Comments (5)Yes, we're having the cabinets made. They're framed cabinets from Kraftmaid, and come in 3 inch increments for height. I could have gone with 30, but then there's a lot of room left at the top, and I don't want a big crown. 33 inch gives me more storage space and still leaves just enough room for a 3/4 inch or 1 inch crown at the top. I want something straight as Sophie Wheeler suggested, not something that is angled. They have something called "solid stock" that is finished on 3 sides and gives you some flexibility in placement. Same for the light rail - just a straight edge mounted so it comes out slightly beyond the bottom of the cabinet....See Moreitsourcasa
