Back Splash
And a couple of the big doors. We have applied 4 coats to the fronts and sides of the doors and will be hanging them very soon.
Beautiful!
And a nice Texas cutting board you made there.
Did you do the backsplash?
For the main countertop we're considering kind of a "vertical shiplap" design.
Thank you! But I confess, the cutting board was a Christmas gift from a vendor.
I did not! I am only doing the minor electrical and the woodwork. I left the floor, counter tops, sink and plumbing, and back splash for the pro's.
FWIW the counter tops, sink, disposal, new plumbing, back splash, floors, and hardware came to approximately $19K.
Wood comes to $3K.
Our counter top and back splash guy also sells cabinets and complete kitchen and bath remodels. I was wondering if it was worth me building all of the cabinets. He indicated a kitchen with walnut cabinets would have run me an extra $50K.
So yes, I saved about $47K in the long run.
We doubled our counter top space and added 18 large drawers.
And you got the exact look that you wanted. Even $50K wasn't going to get you all that inlay.
But...(and there's always a but)...
Could you be doing a income producing job whilst you are building all those doors? Even if it's not $47K worth, you sorta gotta subtract that foregone income from your savings.
Exactly. LOL My first kitchen job, our other home, was 32 years ago. I did not get paid for that one either. '~)
I was telling my wife that my issue with this kitchen job was that this time I was not getting paid.
That was a big mistake. One of those times when I was saying what I was thinking before considering the repercussions.
I do have a paying job waiting on the the completion of this kitchen. Walnut blanket chest.
