Kitchen and progress
Jun. 6th, 2005 11:24 amLast week Tuesday I pulled off the panels on the fridge so I could sand and paint them, and almost got the panel off of the dishwasher. Wednesday I got the dishwasher panel the rest of the way off and took everything out to the garage to be sanded. Then I went in search of the Appliance paint to finish everything, after finding that at the 4th place I looked I went back and sanded everything down and made quite the mess.
Thursday after work I picked up some soap, a sponge, a bucket and a garbage can, the first 3 to clean the panels. I washed and rinsed the panels and set them out in the sun to dry while I prepared stands to set things on for painting. I got all of the parts painted that evening and will let them cure for a week or so, most likely until the interior paint is done the 11th & 12th.
Thursday evening I looked up the information on the cook-top so I could make the needed cutout in the counter and cabinets. Then I realized that I ordered the wrong cabinets for that section. luckily only the 30" fan cabinet was in when I bought the cases last week. I figured out what I needed to make it work and then Friday I ordered the proper cases and doors. I will just have to return the 2 cases and 4 doors that were wrong when I go and pick them up.
Saturday I mowed the lawn before it rained and then set to work on the cabinets and countertop. The cabinet had almost the proper hole in the top, I just needed to take an inch off of the front cross brace. I then fit the plywood counter base and marked the hole so I could go cut it out with a jigsaw. The counter needs a plywood base so the front edge doesn't hang over like it is designed to. If it did with these cabinets it would be resting on the doors and they wouldn't be able to open. I cut the hole and test fit the cook top in the plywood then I attached the plywood to the cabinets to strengthen them even more, even though they are attached to the wall and each other.I still need to cut the hole in the counter and then attach it before I can install the cook top. But first the walls will be painted.
Painting is scheduled for the weekend of the 11th & 12th of June. Then I can put the panels on the fridge and wrestle it back into position so I can wrestle the oven back into position and re-install the 15" cabinet that goes next to it. Once that is in I can fit and attach the plywood to those cabinets and cut the hole for the sink. Then the counter can go in and final hookups can be made.
So far it is looking good, things are coming together but it still looks like mess if you don't know what is going where.
Doors are due in this week sometime, and the new order of cabinets is due in next week I think. I will most likely wait until the second order is in so I don't have to make two trips with the van and pay for gas twice. The doors will be going in last anyway so they don't get damaged. I already have all of the shelves and such so lacking doors won't be a delay for most things.
