Refinishing/Installing Kitchen Cabinets on Straw Bale House Walls!

  • We spent many weeks working on getting all of the kitchen cabinets sanded down and coated with AcryLacq by AFM. We had high hopes the baking soda blaster would make this project go quicker but it was more of a hassle than anything. A large air compressor is needed for it to work smoothly (even with the 15lb tank). We maybe weren't patient enough with this step, but the soda was almost too powerful resulting in deep gouges in the wood. And lastly, the baking soda reacted with the tannins in the wood causing the wood to turn green in all the areas where the baking soda was still present. At this point there was already 1 coat of lacquer on but thankfully lemon juice still pulled most of the green out! ...We purchased these cabinets used a few years ago and designed our kitchen layout based on these cabinets. Thank you for watching - please like and subscribe if you haven't done so yet to follow the journey of getting this straw bale house completed!

      I would have left the cabinets as is and screwed them to the wall. But they are looking good.

    Awesome! You got so much done!! Those sanding helpers of yours are pretty darn cute! The cabinets look great, I like the contrast of light cabinet and dark pulls. Good Job!

    Hi there my name is Ashley,
    I have been watching your videos for the last year or so. I love your positive attitudes, and the work you’re putting in to make your dreams come true. I would like to do this one day. Ultimately you all have inspired my family, and proven that it is possible to build a lovely straw bale home. I was wondering if you could share some of the books/references you have used to base your build off of. Thank you for your amazing videos, keep up the great work. 💞

    In order to build like you guys does the property have to be completed off the grid?
