What do I do next after seepage (long)?
Comments (4)How old is your home? Did the water come from all around, or primarily from the one location you mention? Do you have a sump pump to collect water from foundation tiles? Is there a drain in the basement floor and did water come up through it? Somehow since you say the problem is periodic, I don't believe your problem is a major one. Walk around the house and carefully inspect the foundation for any settling cracks. Do these align with the places water infiltrated? Also, check for low spots where water might not be running away from the building. These need to be filled with soil. If the source was from a foundation crack, the best solution is to have one of the basement companies like advertise all the time inject sealer outside. If it was from a floor drain, speak with a plumber. If you don't have a sump pump and/or water came from all around, you could have a blocked foundation tile, or no foundation tiles in either case solving the problem for the future is going to be more costly. You need to locate the source - even if it means removing some of the paneling. If you have actual paneling, it is most likely 4 x 8 sections and there is a strip covering the seams every 4 feet. Simply remove the strips (carefully, trying not to split them) and then a sheet of the paneling. You'll need a pry bar, possibly a hammer, wear gloves and it will come off. Hope this gives you some help and courage. Good luck....See Morefull depth fridge 'built in look' next to cabinet run
Comments (6)Here's a couple options. Pull the drywall put 1/2" ply to line the opening and it's now 28 1/2". Pull the cabs 4" forward with very usefull added counter space. Do the same recess and add a 2x4 and 1/2" drywall run the length of the wall to the left as needed to bring that section forward. Build the end panel you have to the right of the frig into an 8" end wall. Rotate the frig on an angle so the left side meets the counter depth pulled out to 26" and the rear right corner is recessed in the new wall. The left side trim panel can run straight back on that side. Add up the costs and see how it compares with this $5700 Liebherr FD.

Comments (20)Liquid diet, watching cooking shows. Yeah, that was my mom, who died one year ago today. The best cook I have ever met: I'm not just saying that; she instinctively adjusted her baking recipes depending on whether it was raining, and used odd techniques that the CIA (the culinary one, not the spies) finally adopted fifty years later. She ended her life with an esophageal stricture; she, who loved foo d, could not ea t, could not drink, for an entire year. Fed by liquid through a tube in her stomach, she spent her days watching the Foo d Network. So, johnliu, cut the cr@p. There is a Talmudic saying that those who saw good fo od, and did not eat it, will have to make an answer for it. Appreciate what you have. You never know when you may lose it. I realize this post is not really appropriate for this forum, or for this question. I sincerely apologize for that, and your writing suggests you are someone I would personally like. Perhaps that's why I am cautioning you. And, anyway, today is That Day, and so, there it is....See Morecorner cabinet at end of wall run?
Comments (25)Late to the game! First, I agree about running the cabinet to the end of the wall rather than a corner cab...to me, corner cabs that just hang there w/no other upper cabinets on both sides look "off". Second, I also agree the cabs at the end of the peninsula should end "short" of the peninsula end, but I don't think it has to be 12" short. Our upper cabinets end approx 1" b/f the base cabinets do and then there's a 1.5" overhang over the base cabs...so the upper cabs end approx 2.5" before the peninsula as a whole does. We have had no problems with bumping into the upper cabs and we use that peninsula for food staging, baking, etc. Our Pet Center is next to the wall facing out and still no issues with the upper cabinets. I would suggest stopping maybe 3" from the end, but no more. Third...your cooktop & sink proximity...they are very, very close to each other with virtually no workspace b/w them. I very, very strongly suggest moving that 3-drawer stack that's currently to the left of the cooktop to the other side of the cooktop. That would at least give you a little bit of work space. Last...the base corner susan you have in the peninsula. Consider, instead, a 27" wide cabinet turned 90 degrees so it faces out instead. It is a better use of space than a corner susan and much, much better than a blind corner cabinet. That would allow you to move that drawer base to the right of the cooktop (suggested previously) and still have a 12" or so wide set of drawers or a tray/cutting board cabinet to the left of the cooktop. Here's mine...with the upper cabinets and a cabinet turned 90 degrees. Pet Center is the base cabinet on the left that has a drawer on top. The doors on the right are decorative doors only. This is what it looks like from the "inside"... (I now store my KA mixer in that corner. I use that peninsula as part of my "Baking Center".)...See MoreAlexander Fick
