comp56 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 waiting for tile to set is almost as fun as watching paint dry, so I added the needed pieces to complete the range hood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 final tweaks and adjustments before base cabinets get nailed down.... funny back splash doesn't look like it goes far enough on microwave side but it is the angle of picture.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Not sure if anyone has worked with bamboo counter tops? It not being wood per say but is very close. Needless to say while I am splicing the counter and cutting the hole for sink I will pass on a tip: this stuff is harder than hard maple and will burn if a poor or dull blade is used.....A high tooth count blade is also best....also a very sharp splinter free cut can be achieved...sink in the hole, now the sanding and sealing begins...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 good and bad news...so it turns out fine dust from sanding counter top splices created a super fine covering in the area. It turned out I had sink on floor and it got covered in this super fine dust, well because of this I discovered the sink has a couple hair line cracks in 2 corners.......I bought the sink online almost 5 months ago......(sale what are you gonna do) anyway Kudo's goes out to Amazon.ca as their return policy is 90 days however when I explained that I hadn't installed it yet they said no problem sent me a shipping label to return cracked sink (no charge) and placed an order for a new sink 2 day shipping.....

comp56 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 sanding up with 320GT before sealing instead of going with the traditional 45 in the corner I just spliced a piece right along side seeings the seam is so hard to see it worked out great. the seam is actually in the middle of the picture.... went with a natural satin finish also got tall pantry and pull out put in place new sink or replacement sink will be here Wednesday so will be getting that plumbed in then.....I'm taking tomorrow off......lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 finishing up with some kick plate or toe kick what ever it is called, I didn't like the typical black plate that came with the dishwasher, seeings the kick plate I will be installing is high gloss like the cabinets the black factory plate would not look right, I didn't want a brake in the line even if I painted the factory one white. So I got a little creative by kerfing out the area where the dishwasher sticks out to match the factory thin plate. so instead of this look I get a clean straight line.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well my Kitchen reno is complete, 97 days of not having a kitchen sink is incredibly inconvenient but that is all over with now. The next order of business was to make my wife 6 ft tall, I did this by making here a 1 foot step stool from left over counter top. Seeings she is very petite 105LBS @5 ft 2 inch if she is jumping, it didn't need to be over built. It doubles as a plant stand when not in use too..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 well I originally planned for a matching door to house the electronics in this little floating cabinet, however after using it for some time I noticed between the laptop and the cable box it was creating more heat then I wanted. Not a huge amount but laptop fan kept coming on. So I went with a different approach. I removed the door, I made small wood frames and covered them with a couple layers of stainless screen, painted them black and bingo air flow and concealment. Top section houses the google home assist, don't need to see it so it works perfect. These panels are just press fit so they can be removed to gain access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 well yet another project for the house, this time we are covering the media wall with silver stone, and instead of having 3 small speakers hung on the wall like in the before picture. I made a speaker cover, took a 2x6 and cut it up to fit the 3 speakers left, center and right painted it black and covered it with speaker mesh now it can go on the wall with a cleaner look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 furthering the project, I have wired the livingroom completely, before I install drywall against the back wall I made up a wall plate for all the wires that come out of the wall to hook up. because I'm using banana plugs I made it recessed and flush with drywall. I also labelled everyting so it is easier for anyone/everyone.....not gonna lie you prabably could buy one but I couldn't find a 3 gang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
