How do I redo our Kitchen?
Jan 15, 2009 by j d | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
Our Kitchen is a do it yourself nightmare from the previous owner.
There are currently only two flloor cabinets, one a 42" sink and the other an ancient open frame 1940's vintage cabinet.
I've done a rough layout that involves moving the sink location about 5 feet to the left to be under the window and adding other cabinets from Home Depot:
Things currently look like this
--------------------Window
I------------------- Old dish-Old Sink--Gas Stove-----Old cab
I
There are wall cabinets mounted at sides of room extending to top corner. Wall cabinets are also at top of drawing across stove and current sink. We weren't going to change these since they are in good shape.
Dishwasher is currently portable roll around, Stove is gas with flex pipe going to outlet on wall behind .
Preferred Layout
--------------------Window
|New corner-- New sink--New Dish--Stove--New corner cab
|New cabs
Door------------------Fridges---------------Door
Floor is old vinyl that needs replacement and subfloor and walls will probably need work. Bathroom is behind left wall and shares floor with Kitchen.
Sink plumbing will need to be moved and new plumbing and electric added for dishwasher.
Question:
This is an active used kitchen. What do I do first?
I wanted to start work on the floor from the top left and then call the plumber after I need the sink moved and finally finish up the cabinets and other side of the room once the top part is in place.
Does this make sense? Should I do it a different way?
Would really like porcelin or ceramic tile layed over concrete board.
Subfloor will probably need some work.
I want to try doing the floor piecemeal from the top left, wait a few days and then move appliances to finish the rest.
Wife thinks it will be too hard and wants new vinyl.
New Home depot cabs are raised off floor with little plastic legs about 2-3 inches and will install toe kick.
I have most tools.
Experience:
Never done cabinets or plumbing. I know electrical and have done peel and stick floors before (along with minor subfloor repair).
Was going to have plumber and electrician do their part.
Any ideas or critiques appreciated.
By the way, my wife would like us to have someone else do the floor. My biggest concern with this is waiting weeks between the time they start the job and when they finish. Any experience with Home Depot floor jobs?
Your ascii layouts don't come through well, so I can only offer general comments.
First - if you're in the US, and anywhere near a Lowe's, Menard's, or Home Depot store, they often offer free or low-cost design services for kitchen remodelling. Or you can get kits or software that allow you to play with designs on paper or your computer screen, so you can try different layouts without committing a ton of money to the project first.
Second - the same stores usually have a book rack where you can get books on kitchen design, garage and shed plans, decks, etc. Buy one or two, and spend some time looking at a lot of different ideas. All the time spent learning and planning up front can save you money, time, and headaches later.
Third - plumbers and electricians cost a lot. I had one come in and move 2 water lines just slightly for me. It took him about 2 hours, and it cost me almost $400. And that was about 9 years ago. Get estimates up front, and think hard about leaving your water lines where they are, if you can. It can be worth your while.
Fourth - don't plan on using the kitchen while you're doing this. If you can, set up a temporary kitchen in another room. Plan on cooking with the microwave, or eating take-out, or some such. It's about 3 times as hard for someone to work around your tools to cook dinner, and it's just as bad for you to try to work in the kitchen while leaving things set up enough for someone to cook there later that day. Don't try this by working in the evenings and weekends, either. You need to take a week off from work to make it happen. You can't remodel your only kitchen on a part-time basis, or you'll be working on it for weeks or months. Been there, done that.
Finally - try to line up help from friends, or hire someone to help you. Better yet, hire someone who will accept you as their assistant while they lead the work effort. Mounting cabinets, wrestling counter tops, etc is heavy work, and it's a lot easier to do so with 2 people than just one. It will go much faster with 2 people, too. All you have to do is drop and damage one $500 cabinet, and you'll see what I mean.
There are a lot of builders and carpenters right now who aren't working much. If you look around, you may find someone who will let you help them, and work with them. They will be happy to have the work, they will bring in tools and expertise you may not have, and you can learn a lot from them. More importantly, you should end up with a kitchen you'll really be proud of afterwards.

Problem with dishwasher?
Jan 13, 2009 by avgjoe | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a GE portable dishwasher that wont drain was working fine through the pot and pan cycle then it wouldn't drain and the bottom spray wands don't work like they used to how do I fix this.
I tried vinegar and the float device but neither are working.
First, check the filter.
There should be a screen of some sort inside of the washing chamber that you can remove by unscrewing a few screws.
The filter will be inside.
Some are removable, some are not.
Just make sure it's clear and clean.
Next, check the drain hose.
Disconnect it and flush it out with a hose.
Again, clear and clean.
Before you reinstall it, make sure the opening it attaches to is also clear and clean.
If this doesn't fix the problem,
it might be the motor/pump assembly.
If so, I'm afraid it's not worth it to repair it.
It would cost less for a new unit.
Check out the prices on the internet for new or reconditioned motor/pumps for your model.
Add the cost of installation,
and you'll see if it's worth it or not.
Good luck

old faucet, new portable dishwasher?
Jan 12, 2009 by Aunt Ant | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Hello there, My problem is a little different from others. When I hooked up the new Kenmore portable DW water sprayed from the bottom of my faucet spout and near the aerator connection. The faucet is a bridge type with faucets on 8"center and spout/mixer in center with no spray attachment.
Before I hooked up the DW I repaired a slow leak at the spout by replacing 0-ring and redoing the packing. Faucet worked fine on its own then, swivel was a little tight but no leak. when the water sprayed out it brought the packing graphite out with it.
If I need to get a more modern faucet what kind would be best for portable DW? What is diff between ceramic and ball type faucets? Of course I want to be able to mount it on the wall in the same configuration that exists now.
I'm grateful for any suggestions, thanks. Ant
Thanks Steve for your reply. Yes the main problem was from the neck. Went out shopping this afternoon and discovered that these old bridge style faucets are kind-of dinosaurs! I've found them online redone ceramic as opposed to washer. I'm willing to replace it entirely if it will help the DW. What's your experienced opinion?

Thanks Steve, I don't know exactly how to attach a link from flickr. But if this works then shouldn't I be able to purchase a washerless faucet that has the same configuration and attach it wiith those same nuts?
Thanks for your patience Steve. I believe I've fixed the link problem. Yes house is 1920's bungalo. Faucet must be60's or 70's tho'. I'm almost certain I can replace the current with an American Standard I've seen online. May hire local plumber to install and check water pressure at same time. Was told that replacing the nipples might be a good idea too. What do you think? Thanks once again.
Do you need to run the water to get it hot before hooking up a portable dishwasher?

I always do when I hook mine up, I think it is necessary unless your dishwasher has a built in water heater
