Mudding is definitely an art I don't have patience for. Good thing with a kitchen, 90% will be covered by cabinets and tile. Good on you for giving it a shot.

ya it really fricken sucks and man those inside corner parts are beyond horrible. It's hard to believe how easy people can make it look

Shit is getting real today and man I'm excited. Hopefully the installer will be finished tomorrow but he also has my bathroom vanity and custom closet to install as well. All the cabinets come with 3 hinges and every door/drawer are soft close of course. everything is also water resistent which is a big plus as well. I'm a big fan of them looking fully white with grey on the inside which is pretty unique.

I could've sworn it was posted in this thread but maybe it was another one, someone posted saying which manufacturers don't release the schematics for their appliances and I'm trying to figure out which ones. We need to get a new washer and dryer (dryer is starting to pull in clothes and burn them a bit) but I want to avoid those brands.

wrong thread

its this one here

LG + Samsung

they should have edged everything to match the door colour, not the case colour.

It's the unique style they are using same with the 3 hinges on the doors as well. I could of had the edging to match the doors as well but wanted it that way since it's different.

I would have also ordered thicker fridge gables, at least 1" thick melamine.

its solid hard wood so it's really sturdy. I asked about that when he quoted it out and said this will be more the solid enough. Thankfully everything has a life time warranty as well.

Hard wood? What?

sprrg I should of said plywood not MDF

Thankfully its starting to look like something, counters are getting measured sometime this week.

amazing,just the floors look horrible for now but its gonna be pretty damn nice all done.

I see you filled your booze cabinet before your kitchen is even finished :lol

FYI usually it is better to do the floor first and have the cabinet and appliance sits on top.
The finish will be nicer and in case of any future kitchen changes, you won't have to patch the missing flooring.

Most floor guy will probably charge you a bit extra to cut around all the cabinets as well..(but you'd use less floor so they kinda balance out)


Also, I'd put a handle in the faux drawer for the sink cabinet to give it a consistent look.

no question about the flooring but since we are going to be running the same flooring on the entire upstairs we are just leaving it for now since we have more important things to purchase before the flooring. We are going to be doing it our selves so are not concerned on the extra cuts that have to be made.

I was thinking about putting a handle on the faux drawer as well but with my luck one of my buddies would come over and rip it off drunk trying to get into it.

Horrible brands anyway.

Started my crown in the dining room today, fuuukkkkkk these big crowns are a pain and so is when nothing in your house is square/level...being as they are so big was forced to cut them on the flat with a few tips from YouTube, worked out alright and should be fine with some patching and sanding:

6 5/8" on the wall and ceiling..

Tom start my chair rail and wainscotting.

I'll have to add a pic of the finished beam I posted earlier, my contractors killed the drywall on it as well as reboarding the ceiling in the living room, went right over the existing lathe and plaster looks soooo much better

You mitered both pieces on the inside corners?

Wasn't going to cope them.

With this setup to cut both inside and outside corners you set both the miter and bevel in order to cut them flat, pretty common in large crowns for both inside and outside corners

That's fairly standard practice as far as I've seen

I would not have put a wine rack next to the stove - wine is very sensitive to temperature and you can literally take a great bottle of wine and turn it into garbage in a surprisingly short time by storing it in temperatures too warm.

The average house temperature is around 20C and that's basically the max you would ever want to store wine at - hence why most people try to keep it in a cellar or somewhere cooler. The additional heat rising from your stove could easily raise it another 5-10 degrees which doesn't sound like much but is way into "damage your wine" territory.

He just needs to drink all the wine fast :lawl:

that's exactly what I was going to say and right now the wine rack is full of vodka and everclear.. That being said the hood fan will always be on while cooking so I'm not worried about the stove temps effecting the wine at all.

I hear ya on the big crown, its a bitch. Why didn't you pre-paint prior to install?
I pre-painted mine on the floor so i didn't have to break my neck later. I didn't use as many nails as you though.

That is pre painted lol..

Had to use so many nails cause A) the crown was heavy as fuck, 13" wide and probably about 25lb+ per 12' length

And B) I mixed up my mitre and bevel measurements right off the bat so ended up pulling down 4 long sections and recutting lol :okay:

For the fun of it, take your instant read thermometer and measure your living room. Then when you are boiling a pot of water at full blast for pasta (with the hood vent on), measure where your wine is. I bet your fan is similar to mine (in that it is not that effective) and I imagine your wine is getting hotter than you might think.
