Had the day off so worked on getting the last section of cabinets replaced.
Disassembly!
And gone…
New Cabinet and dishwasher side panel
And somewhat finished.
We have the countertop being measured on Monday. Then it will take 3-4 weeks for them to make and then install it The replacement cabinets that Lowes screwed up will be in early October. Then once the countertops are installed, I’ll do the ceremic tile and almost be done
I’m beat! But the nice part is I have about 2 weeks of break until the replacement cabinets come in to get back into the garage
I bought a set of Cherry cabinets with a premium ginger glaze finish. No repairs needed as there are only a couple of scratches on the sides that are hidden. Set of 15 cabinets with 2 huge lazy susan corners came to $2200. Same set at Home Depot would have ran about $7k.
It is a stressful experience, however. It is only open on Saturday’s and you have to get there around 6am. Once there, you take a number and its a lottery to get in early enough to get the good stuff.
Molding is $1-$8 per 8ft. board
Endcaps are $8
Toe kick is $1 per ft.
Single cabinets regardless of size or options run $85-95 each.
refrigerator cabinets are $20 each.
Pantry cabinets are $120-160
There are great deals to be had but you have to be flexible on wood and color choices.
We ordered quartz through Lowes. I think their name is Solid Surfaces.

look more into it. some stone countertops discolor over the years from the steam from your dishwasher ventilation from what i’m told. might want to take that into consideration when purchasing a new dishwasher and get one that doesn’t vent externally. i believe siemens and LG offer dishwashers that vent out the discharge pipe. i don’t know specifically if quartz is one of the materials that will discolor.
In addition to the Light the Night Walk, Bowling leage and some eating and drinking mixed in, I spent a TON of time getting my final cabinets in so they can finish the countertop measurements tomorrow am. I’m beat.
So I take a perfectly new cabinet
And then I take a saw to it. You think they would make the cabinets fit the ovens. But that isn’t the case. 95% of cabinets need to be cut to fit the oven.
And after cutting it and reinforcing the structure of it:
Test fit the oven. Fits like a glove the first try
New gas lines ran, new power outlet, and 220 all set. And the left cabinet installed.
And installing the oven
Yes I hooked it up right
And set the cooktop on it to check fit. Hope the countertop comes soon!
Woohoo, countertop was installed today.
If you need countertop, Solid Surfaces of Rochester is thumbs up in my book. Great quality, great installers. :tup:
