neohic Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 For months until just recently I’ve been picking at my brother’s kitchen. He’s up in Minnesota while I’m in Colorado and work at a cabinet shop. This all started on a visit up there in February. My intent was to build it for as cheap as possible while still creating a quality custom kitchen. I started setting aside damaged sheet goods that were still useable and still looked fine on one side. Then I scrounged scraps and seconds from customer jobs that cleaned up to new condition. This went on through the end of July. Total cost in materials came to just under $800. Granted, this is a small kitchen but it would’ve been about $6000 at our full retail. 77 hours went into this between staying late at work and the install itself. Then came the drive and construction while my dad and brother did the prep and reframing on one wall. Three very long days later… … and after the floor went down… … and the cherry on top was surprising him with a monogrammed cheese board from the sink cut out leftovers. I love my family. It has definitely been the hardest part of moving away from them five years ago now. Sure makes the visits that much more special when they happen! Always do favors and always help other when you can. This was a ton of work but very well worth taking time away from my projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugboat95 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 As you know in my other post, I built this over the last 6 months. Or rather I wrote checks on borrowed money and watched other people build it. I coated the floor and will be doing the electrical myself in the next month or so.89 ComancheEliminator2wd4.0L5 speed PukeGoatFactory Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 And done! Now a very needed hiatus from large home improvement projects for a bit. Next up are a overland trailer and a RV remodel. After that maybe I can finally have time to build the WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next up are a overland trailer and a RV remodel. After that maybe I can finally have time to build the WJ. Nice work! Something I have found that works great when cleaning shower glass doors: a single edge razor blade and a scraper. My folks were gung ho about renovating the bathroom shower with glass doors and did not know what to do with soap scum. They purchased Kaboom, Tilex, all the most unnecessary and nauseating chemicals you can think of. A good 'ol scraper does the business and does not scratch the glass. Its the cheapest most effective way to clean glass doors and you don't have to lose brain cells to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I redid my master we put in all new glass. I applied a hydrophobic coating to it and we squeegee it after and it's been fine. Have to reapply the coating about once a year but way better than the chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
