Replacing counter top stove from 46" to 36"
Comments (12)Hi, just discovered this thread and it's exactly the same dilemma I'm facing. Currently have an old 46" Jenn-Air electric cooktop and want to convert to natural gas. I see 46" Gas rangetops, but unsure if that would work. Obviously, the current electric cooktop was just "dropped in" to the countertop opening and it looks like a rangetop is more invasive (and I'd hate to ruin my beautiful granite that was installed 10 years ago). Any thoughts, comments would be greatly appreciated - thanks!...See MoreCounter height window: should I replace existing?
Comments (14)Here in CA the city made us drill new countertops to put electrical outlets in, since we have two big counter height windows. And they didn't want to hear any reasoning(the kitchen is small, we have enough outlets, etc.) You can have certain distance from the sink and the cooktop..otherwise they here demand many outlets every certain amount of inches apart. So be well aware of your specific codes while you at your planning stage. Less surprises afterwards....See MoreShould I redo the cabinets and counter top?
Comments (23)Granite in a kitchen in a house valued at $100,000? NOPE, that's a waste of money. You won't begin to recoup what you spend for it. And everyone is changing out their tile countertops, at least from what I see on this site. (It's that grout, who wants to clean the cooking dreck out of the grout?) I would consider NOT buying a house with tiled countertops in the kitchen, all other things being equal. Some people really prefer stained cabinets over painted. I can like the look of either, but unless you get a true pro to do the job ($$$), it's going to look cheapened. Those cabinets look fine to me, and would not dissuade me from making an offer. It's the curb appeal (driveway) you may want to be focusing on. Oh, and see if you can bleach the floor tile grout in the shower as white as possible - or see if there is a way to make it all look like it's supposed to be one light sand or gray color of grout......See MoreShould stain be light or dark with dark counter top?
