Doohickie Posted March 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 And just like that, the last three cabinet shells are up. Well, not quite all of them. But for this end of the room this is it. Consider this Phase One. Phase Two is much less involved, but at the other end of the room we're going to get rid of the clunky corner pantry unit and the bookshelf and replace them with new cabinets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to problems/delays with countertop and appliances, we went without a fully functioning kitchen for over two months. Also…had a contractor juggling a few different jobs simultaneously. That being said, all is good now. Happy wife, happy life. 😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to you and your wife When we were in the middle of our remodel in '21 and '22 the kitchen was the last thing "done" (not that anything is done yet). We had what we called the 'refugee kitchen' set up in the one bedroom that had a microwave and a toaster oven. The fridge was plugged in in the living room. I do not miss those days, haha.

ubkev Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 If I didn't have a stove for more than a day I'd be very unhappy. If I didn't have an oven for longer than a week, I'd move. Unless it was summer. I can live on the grill from about May to October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Reddit I think you misunderstand the word "thread." This is not a Buffalo Sabres thread. This is a home improvement thread. Many of us have come to know each other over the years--whether virtually or in person--and it's kind of nice to see what someone is doing with their non-hockey time. So we have other sports threads, music threads, car threads, rod and gun threads, and the like. The beauty of the system is that all of them are optional, as is SabreSpace itself. In other words, if I am not interested in hunting and fishing (and I am not), I don't need to visit the rod and gun thread. If I'm interested in being jerky, I don't need to visit SabreSpace at all. 6 minutes ago, Doohickie said: This is Texas... you can use the grill year round. I am not making sauces on a grill, nor am I baking bread on one. I need a stove and an oven. But I get where you're headed. I might just start a cooking thread to piss a certain someone off. And also because I like cooking. Edited April 3, 2023 by Eleven 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Didn't get too much done this weekend. At this point I'm working on the countertops and they are definitely two-man lift (at least for this man). I built a jig to hold the sink (cast iron- 100+ pounds!) and did a trial fit with my sink good enough to locate the hole and cut it in the countertop. Before I can install the sink though I need to get the countertops joined and mounted to the cabinets. The countertops might have to wait until next weekend. Trial fit of the drain with the old drain parts. Kind of convoluted but it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hard to make out but the lines for the sink are drawn in preparation for cutting the hole in the countertop. I wanted to get the countertops done this weekend but didn't get there. I had to work on some other stuff (mow the lawn... it was getting pretty overgrown, and start my taxes).
