Please help - need built-in microwave less than 22 inches wide
Comments (5)don't think a "built in" is out there. you can prob. find a microwave that is 20 1/2" -22" wide and just place it in the space. If you really wanted the look you could order a kit from micro -trim to fake the built in look....See MoreHelp Botched Kitchen Granite Top Install
Comments (20)Update on my project. All attempts to fix my problems failed. The big box store agreed to provide me with a new granite counter top from a national cabinet manufacturer. Two weeks ago, during the install, they discovered that my sink cutout was wrong and removed all of the granite. The next day they told me that they had to order more granite and it would be another week before reinstall. 2 days ago they came to install, but they only installed 2 out of three pieces of granite. Now they are claiming that they will return next week with a matching piece of granite. It's ubatuba. I thought that all granite had to be cut from 1 sheet. What's the chance that this 3rd piece will match existing granite?...See MoreCostco appliance installation- a question and your experience?
Comments (19)Here’s an update: based on feedback here, I sought out recommended specialists and was very fortunate that a contractor whose work I’ve seen and who an acquaintance hired for a lovely kitchen renovation was able to send over subcontractors to complete installation. There will be some more finish work on Monday. They said I could use the oven in the meantime. The installers repeated the same things Joseph Corbett had noted: that it’s vital to do an installation on site rather than trust the manufacturers specifications provided online or even in the installation manuals. Our double oven is the GE Cafe french door model. HL you asked about the cutout of my existing oven and that of the new oven. The old cutout was 48 inches. I can’t provide the exact cutout height and width for our new oven but it was at least 2 inches longer (total height) . I basically let the pros do the final measuring and installation and stayed out of their way. There will be some minor finish work on Monday....drywall repair and paint from damage left when our old oven, a complete piece of junk ( in spite of high Consumer Report ratings) was pulled in and out of the wall numerous times for attempted repairs. ....See Moremy bathroom tile looks botched please help! the corners are terrible
Comments (17)Since you seem to love this tile, what about trying to use a white caulk in the corners instead of the contrasting color. It may make the tiles look like they fold into the corner. You can try this before by just cutting some strips of paper and taping them up , then step back and see what you think. On a side note - was the floor tested for water? Those tiles are too big for a regular shower drain - it probably should have been a trench drain, unless there are diagonal cuts through the tile pitching them all to the drain ( can't tell in the picture ). Be careful moving forward - there seems to be some incorrect things happening here. Good luck!...See MoreNala 123
