Tommy, over the decades I have learned so much from you and now I will put that knowledge to work as I build my own house here in Alaska, thanks

To the guys AND gals at This Old House....You are truly world Hero's.You teach the safest and BEST way to fix and upkeep our homes. I would be honored to meet any one of you in person some day. Thank you for all you do This Old House Crew

I love the color of those cabinets. You can have so many colors around the kitchen to design so the kitchen will pop. Great choice that was made by the homeowners. You can learn so much by watching this show. Keeping cabinets level what person would care about doing a great job like that? Wow! hmhm There are some great carpenters out there that would do the same.

Marble is the best for rolling out pastry. My mother has had a white marble island for many years because of that.

How fun it'll be to seal that granite sink over and over and over. Not sure how I feel about a marble island. A main area for kitchen activity and you're giving it over to marble? Either way, fun install. Nice video.

Anyway I finished the kitchen and the toekicks didn't cover the space.later on the super was upset with me because of the gap.he asked me with a nasty tone are you going to fix it? I asked him if was going to pump up more concrete? I didn't pour the floor.this one is funny.i started a big kitchen and the home owners showed up.

Are all kitchens in the USA made like this, or this just a very old video? I sell kitchens here in the UK and all base units come with detachable, adjustable feet which can be used to level the units. The base units also come with service voids at the back of the units to allow for plumbing pipes, etc.

@roberte.6892

if you buy cabinets with feet, which is pretty rare, you can get adjustable feet. However, substantially uneven floors, like the one in this video, is also pretty rare, so most of the time you don't need them.

The cabinets were still slightly off. Looks like 1/32 or 1/64th. You can very clearly see that @3:51. Tommy with his carpentry magic got em flush though. 😁

lol first day looks like back to basics

Could you tell us where the cabinets were ordered from ? Thank you

Why did you put the tall cabinet in first. I was taught you have to put the corner cabinets first. Can you explain

I havent watched yet but i bet at least a few people watched this 9 minute video and bought a saw and level and started cutting lol OK watched a little, then the guy headed to Home Depot for 2.5 inch shims lol

Does anyone have any tips for how to ensure you screw the cabinets into studs? Stud finder won't be very effective because the cabinet back wall will be in the way so it is very easy to miss a stud and insert a screw that then needs to be removed and rescrewed, which would leave a hole from the first attempt

@elishahleone3447

Жыл бұрын

measure the distance between wall and stud then measure from the back of the cabinet until you reach a stud then mark a hole where to put a screw

some will use cabinet jacks off the lowers to hang the uppers.. in a situation like that I'd just get a nice strait rip of plywood and screw it on the wall to set the upper cabinets on, then do lowers.. to each their own..

That is one complicated way to even out a tilted floor. Every kitchen cabinet I know of has adjustable feet overhere in Germany. You just draw the counter top height with a laser level on the wall and adjust the cabinets accordingly. That being said, before even installing a kitchen I would take care of the floor problems first. 2 inch within such a small distance is not really acceptable.

Shame to see beautiful cabinets made with press board

Tommy I hope you can come to my town and help us to install a new kitchen please . I am dying to get new one ☝️ in my house 🏡 for years .

A stone kitchen sink? I give it 2 years before that gets pulled out and replaced by stainless or at the very least porcelain. Preferably a nice thick stainless unit and will last 60+ years.
