Found more pics this morning. That's my dad in the pics, gotta give credit where its due, wouldn't have been able to get this done in 2 days without him! And better pics of the sink. I was the cheapest one at Lowe's, but I think the best for my needs, and it looks great.

That gap between the wall and back splash, is it still there ? Or was that before the counter top was secured?

Do you like the lazy suzy cabinet ?

Slimm-rw- · 08-25-2007, 08:14 AM

The lazy susan was the ONLY option for the corner. at $185 it was a big chunk, but it was necessary, and I'm really liking it.

The gap was there with the previous counet setup, and I thought I could get rid if it, but when you pull the counter to 90 degrees, its pretty obvious that the problem is with the wall. When I put the top cabinets up, I'll build a fake wall between te bottom and top, then put a backsplash up. Good eye though....no one else has noticed that, even in person!

Well I remodel kitchens and baths , and everything else on a daily basis , so I just have an eye for it . 185 for a lazy susan , not a bad price. Most I have dealt with run in the 300-600 range. I did a kitchen a few months back. Home owners spent 65k just on canbinets and trim, thats not labor or counter tops. Just cabinets and trim.

Looks great! Seems like a lot of improvement for only $1200. Are those cabinets pre-made units that you'd buy in a hardware store, or did you build them yourself?

Those are prebuilt cabinets. My guess would be Home depot.

Lowe's actually. In fact, they were the cheapest models there, because they were unfinished. I liked it better that way though, so that I could choose the final shade.

and 65k on cabinets and trim is rediculous, I'll NEVER be that baller...lol
