:tif: Can’t really notice. Except if you look to the right of the back door you’ll see a step in the wall where the 2x4 frame starts. It’s pretty subtle, and I wasn’t about to rip up the rest of the wall, reframe the door, etc. It worked out really well because there used to be a pipe and an hvac duct running up through the middle of the cabinets, so this framed them in.

Nice color choice on the cabinets, it works with black and white apliances.
Block wall is so hit and miss, it’s solid, but a bitch to remodel. Looks good from the pictures!

Nope. Next is $2k to get the chimney repaired :hang:, then some landscaping this spring and a few odds and ends. Then sell the place within a year or two.

any idea how much money you saved by doing it yourself?
and IMO the next mod needs to be stainless appliances…would compliment the silver cabinets quite nicely…

By getting the cabinets myself at the Kraftmaid outlet I saved $10-15k. By doing it myself on top of that? Who knows. I didn’t do the countertop myself. It was $850 installed, under the table.

By going to Ohio with no guarantee of getting anything and getting really lucky. The Kraftmaid Outlet is like a lottery. My wife’s number was drawn first out of 300+ people so we got our choice of the ~10 sets that were available that day.
