Very nice work in the kitchen, sirdaft.

Wow, this thread makes me that much excited to get my own house.

(I'm 21 as of today) lol

[jtodd_fl]

I did a pretty major remodel recently, but since I did very little of the work, it is weird to post as mine. All I did was hang fixtures (oh, and the demolition - which was fun.)

Edit: Especially after all the great work I see that you guys are actually doing!

I upgraded and bought a new washer machine Saturday lol.. Does that count?

We built our house new in 2009. I got to design all aspects of it which was fun. I only have a few shots of the kitchen, none of them fully finished.

Man that under cabinet lighting makes all the difference in the world. Great taste!

I cannot get a gas dryer where I live, because... Florida. We got the LG set - whatever the current model is called - Front Loader... fully automated shit. Something like this...


Then, the matching washer, and they even have a "mini-washer" pedestal that goes under it ... for small loads. Crazy.

Okie dokie. These are before the final fixtures were all in... but nearly complete. Lot's of neutrals and glass tiles on walls, porcelain on the floor. The one (desk) photo with the handle - they were not installed sideways.

Wow thats awesome. I love the mini loader. I wish I had two washers at once. My daughters clothes are so small I just wash all of hers in one load. Would be nice to do them at the same time I wash mine.

Post it up!

All i did was design the kitchen. Well, and all the tile backsplash work. We're getting ready to tile most of the walls in the laundry/exercise room now that there is a treadmill in there. Gotta sweat proof the walls.

It was pretty fun getting to draw out and design a house from scratch. Have a few regrets, mostly in regards to shrinking a few areas to save money. One of which being the garage. People think i'm weird when i tell them i'm pissed about shrinking the garage, but that was a stupid idea.

CR ratings if it helps. May as well get some usage of my annual subscription.

Could never shrink the garage bro! You don't have basements way up north where you are do you? I personally shrunk the living room (the one no one uses, not the other one) by moving the back kitchen wall 3 feet into it. Needed way more kitchen space (I love to cook) - double ovens, 42" fridge... c'mon people...

Need to know: How does one sweat-proof the walls? Converting said recently-shrunken living room into workout room. Thanks.

Thanks. For those who looked at the LGs, my wife does hours of online research before we buy anything. Those were highest rated at the retailers' websites.

Good to see CR agrees (almost). We had a Samsung prior and didn't love it. The front-load washer ended up "dribbling".

If he has pro skills, he went out last night and started drinking at midnight. That's what I did (of course, I lived in a smallish town at the time.)

Don't feel *too* bad for me just yet. The garage is just under 1500sf, but i shaved 2' off of the depth and 2' off of the end. Just stupid. It's still 22' deep, but the extra 2' would be useful at this point in time. With stuff lining the back wall, shelves, bikes, cabinets, etc.... i have to use a parking bump to ensure my front bumper is only 2 or 3" from the garage door. This gives about a 4' walkway between the rear bumper and cabinets.

Well, you have a couple of options. Use a few coats of gloss paint, cover the walls with fiberglass reinforced panels, or tile the walls. Since i'm a flooring guy, i'm going to be tiling the walls. Going to use some white subway tiles on the larger wall and glass mosaics on the cabinet wall. The dog dish is in there so i had already made a doggy dining backsplash behind where he eats with the white subway tile. Figure this will pull it all together and make for easy sweaty clean up.

I had a set of really useless closets removed from my garage to gain ~3ft in length. Gave me enough space to have a really nice workbench built. Sadly, though, the bench is now stacked with junk moved from elsewhere in the house.
