Well, I guess not having a kitchen meant that you cut down on eating so you wouldn't have to have a bathroom to crap in.

Looks good Mark.

Appliances we are going with can be found here.. https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/o...ppliances.html

Tile is tomorrow and cabinet install and granite template is Friday. Saturday the tile guy comes back for the backsplash. Monday is paint and Tuesday is lighting, the plasma, and finishing touches.

More pics to come..

Went through a kitchen remodel a few years back, just finished a master bath.

Both, a PIA and very pricey but worth it.

You going to scrape that kitchen ceiling texture off?

Want to but its not worth it. I have 3300 sq/ft with it and I am not going to pay to have it all removed and it doesn't make sense to remove it in just the one room.

He's great. He's resided my house, did my deck, he does my flips....

As a matter of fact he did the roof and demoed my latest investment prop yesterday. They were supposed to do ext paint today but the snow is pushing that out a day or so now.

I had troubles finding any cabinets that were not full of MDF/fiberboard somewhere in the construction.....so made my own cabinets twice for the last two houses....tops also....formica, not going any stone money....

I presume from the pix that you are leaving the floor plan/layout....tough to get new boxes to match the existing flooring....

I tiled the entire kitchen, then did the boxes here.....up north it was just a vinyl floor....

so how many dinners out does the wife get outta this job???

Layout is staying the same although we are going 8 inches further down the back wall and 10 inches out on the end of the L because we are adding a cook book shelf. All the wood is ripped up and fiber board is down now as we are tiling it all. Cabinets are all custom because suprisingly it was cheaper. We are also doing granite..the area where the sink is will be two levels with a raised bar on the back side. Where the exposed wallpaper is we are putting a plasma. Its going to have new lighting too all throughout..

Forgot to add.. the tile will have a mat pattern in the center of the cooking area. The tile is also extending into the mud room and down a small hall and into the half bath. The cabinet maker is making a new vanity for in there as well. It will have a granite sink top.

GOOD, custom boxes, not store bought, should be a great job then....about the only way you can get quality any more.....

you mention fiberboard under the tile.....so that's on a frame/joist floor, right?? so I would hope there is a layer of hardibacker between any fiberboard and the tile.....I would use plywood anyway....

only damn use I ever seen for fiberboard, is MDF used for formica top backing....other than that, I hate that shit....
