Albeit, if you have people who know what there doing on the job, it goes smoothly (for the most part). Yeah, it always seems to take 95% of the time to finish the last 10% though.... Looks good Fuzz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good Fuzz! At the moment, 3 weeks seems like a helluva long way away! ? All the cabinets were delivered this afternoon. Filled one of my garages and the rest are in the kitchen/lounge room. They will start replacing the plasterboard tomorrow and installing some new bedroom cabinets I decided to add. All the repairs and kitchen cabinets should be done by Wed arvo, then installation of new appliances (except the induction cook top) on Thur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fuzz Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2020 9 hours ago, BrightonCorgi said: The beginning already looked renovated. Yes, it was in very good condition for a kitchen that was nearly 26 years old. The granite was still glossy and didn't have any nicks/chips/scratches. I wouldn't have really spent the money on a reno, but the induction cook top I bought required the granite to be cut, and they couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't shatter. Plus, most modern ovens wouldn't fit the oven space, nor would any decent sized fridge. And to be honest, the gas oven was nearing its end. At least it was sold and somebody will get to re-use all the pieces. Would've been a real shame to junk all that solid Tassie Oak and that granite. To buy granite like that (Rosa Tupim granite from Brazil, 30mm solid all the way across) you would easily pay AUD$10k. I saved a piece 26 years ago (the sink cut out), and will probably turn it into something as a reminder. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started at Echo Lake, elevation 10,600 feet. At the top, elevation 14,265 feet That's a badass ride. I lived in Ward which was around 9,600 feet and was amazed at the riders that got up there from Boulder....and you went basically started at that level...impressive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just got a dedicated fridge for fragrances. May sound a little odd, but fragrances is a little bit of a collectable for us. Those who are serious or have a decent dollar amount invested often store their fragrances in a fridge. Finally got around to buying one for ours. We are big into Frederic Malle or different Arabic brands of fragrances. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly everything came out without being damaged. Only one break in the granite (clean break, so it can be glued back without a seam) and the carcass took some damaged (sacrificed to preserve the granite). Everything gone now. Bye-bye old kitchen!

We started our kitchen renovation May 22 - hopefully we will be back up and running next week. It's been a long month washing dishes in the tub and microwaving food Any updates, how'd you turn out? This is our second kitchen remodel - we also did one in our last house (2016) and have done custom cabinets both times, and it seems there is always a trim piece or two that they forgot to make or need to remake that sticks out like a sore thumb! Picture is from the kitchen we did in 2016 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We burn agar wood in the house for that kind of scent. Small piece on charcoal can fill the house for a couple of hours. Smell like Oud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
