I remembered, but the problem with the old pieces of shit is that they weren’t cabinets that were built and then hung on the wall. They were just sort of build in place, with walls forming backs and sides of cabinets, frame pieces attached directly to walls, etc.
They’re in a pile on my back deck if you still want em.
Probably wouldn’t have mattered. As hot as it was this weekend I probably would have said “I don’t need cabinets in my garage this bad”. Lounging around the pool > working on tearing out shitty old cabinets.
sounds like a good result. :tup: what time did you guys get in line?
Lemme know if you need a hand… im two minutes that way -->
Yea, we’re “starting” ours this week two, now that the dining room is progressing. :hang: Altho we’ve pretty much decided to go the cheap local route, I do wanna stop by & peek at yours before we go buying local. If yah dont mind.
Nice. I’m going to circular-saw the entire 3 layers of flooring into 9x9 squares so that I have a prayer of getting it up but that might help.
Yeah, the whey goes in the back of the cupboard. Cuz I work out so much. I’m going to have to get a piece of glass cut for the wall corner door, and we’re probably going to put skins on the ends. That’s it cabinet wise. We’ll still have to get a countertop, handles, and probably an over-the-range microwave with vent fan.
With 3 layers, the nails are going to be everywhere and numerous. I had two layers on mine and tried to pull them up in large sections without any luck. I ended up cutting the linoleum in strips of 24" wide and then using a prybar/hammer to take it up.
After you pull up all of the floor, check for any nails left in the floor. Then pull those guys up with nippers.
What is the subflooring? Is it plywood or tongue & groove?
For extra, added security you should check for any squeaks or soft spots in the floor before you tile. I went along and screwed the floor down along the joists about every 6-8" to eliminate any future issues. Use a strong screw (8x2" and make sure you counter sink.) With tile, you won’t get squeaks, but you could get cracks. :ohnoes:
I took my floors of one layer at a time, so my sheets came off mostly intact.
Infact, there are a few of them still in my garage. I have been way to lazy to cut it down for trash day with all of the nails in it.
It’s tongue and groove. I’ll tighten her down before I start in with the mortar board. I also should start thinking about whether or not I need to do a bit of jack pole style floor leveling. There’s a bit of an uphill slope by the outside wall.
God bless Tonawanda clay. Except for the work that I’ve done in the last 3 years there isn’t a plumb surface in my house.
