BillH	Kitchen Redux......Pics	#1
The Stig Moderator Reno 22702 Posts Member since: 2007/12/25 0:00	It's done....freekin' finally. And cleaned up. The new kitchen has maple cabinets with soft close drawers, upgraded Maytag appliances, 5 burner convection gas range,etc. Blue Pearl granite countertops, a custom built knife storage block that hangs under the cabinets and 18 inch. Tempest Granite porclean flooring. I did all all the work myself. I had a neighbor help carry the larger cabinets up the stairs and set the microwave in it's bracket but that's the only help I used on the whole project. The first pic is "before" as in fuging ugly.

Elite Guru Westmont, Il. 2632 Posts Member since: 2008/9/28 12:47	Nice. I like... the color choices the cabinet door style with the radiused top rail and flat panel which looks better than a raised panel in a smaller kitchen the pulls the hidden hinges no soffit above the cabinets-it makes a smaller room look bigger and also a place for nicknaks, I did mine the same way If there's a code out there and you had to get a permit they probably would have required GFI outlets. I didn't put them in mine either.

Old kitchen cabinets go into the garage. Hardwood floor for the guest bedroom but not til winter. So, yea might even work on the 67 this week, the cabinets will only take about 4 hours. And i can't play with the roof until it stops raining.

I think we started about the same time. You beat me...I'm close but still have some things that I will put off until fall. It's too hard to try to do them now so I'm being realistic. Love the SS appliances, I will do the upgrade as well as it makes the new stuff "pop". I'm sittin' over here kind of jealous...

The repair guys say GE is the worst, Maytag - the repair guys have been here 4 times on 3 appliances. They're working now but the microwave sucks. Honestly, all of it's poor quality, even Bosch gets complaints. My gas range had a bad regulator, the DW had the bolts missing that hold the motor/pump on. Outside of the micro, their working OK now. The fridge is a new model that's 10% more efficient than an energy star and my electric bill's dropped $20-30 a month (but the old GE fridge ran all the time).
