hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Kitchen part 1 .... long long day with the installer getting it all to sit right. These pics dont really show it as lots of tweaks were done to remove the gaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 How blue did the air get Josh ?. Trying to fit square/ straight cabinet units to out of level and not straight walls sure does need a few tweaks and is a real joy not. But worth the effort at the end of the day granite bench tops I hope chuckle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I spent a lot of time on the wall where the oven is going as there will be tiles and its dead straight on that which im really happy about. Spent last night playing with all of the draws and cupboards .... we ended up going with Blum everything hardware wise, and its soooo much better than the partical board 60s slide system it use to have haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 It's great to see it all coming together for you just out of interest have you kept a rough tally of the hours you spent fiddling with things to get them just right. It will scare you at the time it really takes to do this sort of work properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Hmmm probably around 12-14 days effort all up. But in all honesty if I didnt put some hours in we just couldnt have started as the cost would of been too high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted September 16, 2014 Josh I know where you are coming from it is no mean feat to renovate a home and keep it to a manageable cost not only $$$but also time wise these days. Have found it needs three things time, money and attitude get the three together and all is good. Andy just need a few more cross braces and all will be haha. "equally there are people that give it a go that just shouldn't leaving the next person with a big problem Isn't that the truth in most things in life.

Well done mate/ Yeah cheers, was a bit of a worry from before because the last one on there was really yellow ... which I didnt want for this one. Still have to have a final coat. But that will happen tomorrow night. In the mean time I have to clean all of the MDF dust thats now inside so it doesnt end up in the floor urethane. here is what is being used.
