We’ve used those toe kick heaters when we eliminated radiators in kitchens we remodeled. They work pretty well.

 

There are 2 in this kitchen. One under the sink and one under that cabinet. He picked the biggest one for both. I know the one under the black cabinet could have been the smallest one available and worked just fine. I told him that and he wouldn't listen. So there it sits.

 

Put handles on the coffee cabinet and the rest of the kitchen today. Along with putting the glass into the upper doors and the toe kick skins on and a few loose baseboard moldings.

Textured Glass

Pretty much done. They requested a pullout for the cabinet above.

 

Work looks great but I cannot wait for the white cabinet fad to end

 

It's not white.

It's off white, Balboa Mist...

 

In the water closet.

Good thing it's not your house then

 

Reading another thread got me looking at a porch I did while
Back.
It’s the back door but the one they use the most.
They wanted me to make it look similar to the front entry way. (Always good to make it look like it’s always been there)
Regardless it’s better than having to deal with that top concrete step when going in and out.

 

 

New job to start monday, Soffit and fascia and Diamond Kote Rigid Stack, LP siding basically with nicer finish.

 

Not sure what RIgid Stack means, but I ussed Diamond Kote on my house. Holds up quite well.

 

Double post

 

Not bad for a day. Finally got to do something being a Sunday my kids stayed with the wife, and I told her I’d make a grand if I could work just today.
Yesterday I got to take my kids to a birthday party and watch a bunch of little rascals bowl. That was great.

today I used my 16 gauge crown stapler for fencing for the first time, instead of my siding coil nailer. Glad I did.
Owner shot down the red wood top cap, even though I said I’d do it for the same price.

 

 

A while back I put this black vent hood into a kitchen with the intention of putting up a wood soffit to hide the ductwork and bring the cabinetry to the ceiling.

Last 2 days I built, stained and cleared the cherry ply and solid wood crown. Made all the miters in the shop and glued them all up as components. So to the left of the hood I had an "L" glued up for the ply and the crown. To the right I had 2 pcs glued up in a 45º and then another "L". I joined them in the field so I wouldn't have to deal with the nightmare of staining and clearing that oddball shape. Above the hood I did a black crown but I cut that in the field because I didn't want to chance measuring it and it being wrong.

I think it looks a bit top heavy so eventually I'm going to put a little molding to split up the 9" soffit space. Color match was good. Maybe a tinge dark. But it depends on which way you are looking at it and what the lighting is at the time. The cabinets themselves have a huge variation of colors in them because it was stained "non-select" cherry.

 

Impressive !!

 

Nice work. Agreed it's a little top heavy (I wasn't going to mention it but you did first!) but I think the molding you're talking about adding will help that a bunch. What did you do with that range splash piece? I can't blow it up enough to tell but it looks like you have all the grain radiating out from the center.... pretty cool.

 

Nice job Leo.

Tom

 

 

Love it.

 

This little rear entryway has been quite the major pain in my @$$. Turning out fantastic though.

 

The stairs are a million times better. Still some fookery on the top landing to deal with but the rest came out nice

 

Cabinets to Go.

This used to be our kitchen which were Kraftmaid cabinets.

 

I installed a bunch of Kraftmaid cabinets years ago. The plywood construction cabinets were decent. We called them crap made.

 

Did the plywood inside have paint/stain or was it covered in paper?

 

It was clear coat inside

 

In the Indiana home we had the same cabinets as Mikes.

Making another vanity. Not a box vanity as usual more of a furniture style vanity. Going to have 2 drawers, sink goes where the fake top drawer front is and the 2 bottom drawers will be offset so the plumbing can pass through.

Using the Domino for most of the jointery and it works well, but it's slow. Wish they had a wider 5mm domino say, 1" or the middle setting however wide that is. That way FF parts would be more stable.

Back of the face frame and 1.5 x 1.5 legs

Body of the cabinet and the rear legs.

Lower deck

All clamped up

Sanded with the drawer fronts just sitting in their respective positions.

Gonna get painted BM Chantilly Lace
