    I could hear the excitement in your voice Jessie! They turned out beautiful ! Congrats to you both on a job well done. Butcher block top is stellar.

    Next time install the upper wall mounted cabinets first before the base, much easier. Blessings from Amazing Grace Farm.

    Um. Awesome of course. Yet the better thing is hearing the wee one cry. I understand the concern of showing him or her on camera, just glad to hear it from time to time

    Looks GREAT you should try putting the door stops to the top inside of the cabinets will leave flat bottom for cleaning

    When I was installing cabinets we always did the uppers 1st made it easier to put in without leaning over to hang them..

    It is so much easier to put in the upper cabinet first then the lower so ur not leaning over them

    Beautiful job. All three of you should be so proud.

  • @walterh.schreiber7670

    Looks great. I always put little stools on the counter, put the upper cabinets on them and then mounted those. Perfect height.

  • @randyrainwater983
    @randyrainwater983 5 років тому +7

    The cabinets look great. You will probably want to move the door stops from the bottom of the cabinet carcass to the top. That way your bottom shelf is cleaner looking and more functional.

    Well Done Jessie!!! For an old guy like me, I find myself being proud of your efforts. Can it all be done better? Sure it can! None of us started out any better I'll bet. My true hope is that you'll continue for the rest of your life to improve and show your young one(s) what you've learned. Passing along skills like these is what youth needs today. Take to heart the help we may offer in our hope to smooth your path. God Bless and have a Wonderful New Year.

    install uppers first, prep sink before installing into the top (install fawcett and drain) then install lower cabinets

    • @warrenmichael918
      @warrenmichael918 5 років тому

      i agree with the uppers first but the sink couldnt really be done like they usually are with the faucet installed first because it is so tight , i think they might have had trouble when they tilted it to get it to fit maybe. The faucet was tightened from the top and behind since the back is open, you can actually see Alyssa reach in through the back of the cabinet and turn the faucet.

  • @richardhjones5576
    @richardhjones5576 5 років тому +7

    great looking job but I have put in a lot of cabinets over the years and have found it was always easier to do the upper first and safer also. no dropping things on the lowers. just saying

    This is amazing and something even a professional woodworker would be proud of. I love how you guys go into details of everything you do. That is what will make your home a showcase. Congratulations on a job very well done.

  • @rebeccapettifer6553
    @rebeccapettifer6553 5 років тому +2

    Its been a long time coming but I am so glad you didn't hurry or put cheap cabinets in to just have something in! They are so beautiful! Can you imagine what Alyssa will be able to cook in this kitchen! So happy for you both. Jessie its awesome! Is there anything you can't do! Yippee! Also love listening to your baby in the background! Merry Christmas!

  • @keymasterken
    @keymasterken 5 років тому +7

    The cabinets look great. Remember the small piece of wood that holds the cabinet doors even in the front, you may want to install then at the top of the cabinet so you don't see them or interfere when you are moving items in and out of the cabinets. Just a thought!

    From one designer to another...Amazing job Jesse and Alyssa - we could see the heart you put into every step of the way. Those are way better than anything you could purchase, because they are built with your own hands. Wow, it looks fantastic and you should be very proud! :)

  • @gkevineady49
    @gkevineady49 5 років тому +6

    I GOT IT! Above the sink a simple window frame, and in the window an outdoor scene (of your choice).

  • @thomaspope3838
    @thomaspope3838 5 років тому +1

    Awesome !!! Especially the night shot. Try revolving the paper towel dispenser 90 degrees, parallel to the sink edge and centered between the switches. The positive of this is less shadow, ease of access to the switches and greater visibility of the sockets. Also it will be closer to the sink with wet hands. Super great work. Peace.

  • @Arachnoid_of_the_underverse
    @Arachnoid_of_the_underverse 5 років тому +4

    Looks excellent might I suggest in the open section over the sink fitting an open shelving 2 or 3 shelf unit but with only half depth shelves.You could then store things like soap etc that you would normally store on the counter.

  • @chiefof
    @chiefof 5 років тому +2

    Absolutely wonderful cabinets. The installation is first class+. The extra cost for top of the line hardware was worth it, IMO. Bravo Jesse and Alyssa.

    Jesse, you definitely proved that you are capable of doing what you set your mind to accomplish. The cabinets are beautiful. It looks like Alyssa has gotten herself a haircut.

    Beautiful cabinets. I had a similar kitchen set up. What I did not like is facing the wall while doing anything at the sink. I got a beautiful beveled mirror, put it on the wall and I could see what was going on behind me. The builders thought I was nuts but when it was done they were amazed the amount of additional light it brought in to the space.

    Wow, that is sooo awesome! Have always wanted an outdoor kitchen, so that I'm not messing up my indoor kitchen when I come in to husk corn, shell peas, de-string beans, or clean/cut up beets for freezing. Canning can be done there too, instead of heating up the indoor kitchen. I am sooo jealous! er... that's a sin I think... lol!

  • @Seansousa757
    @Seansousa757 5 років тому +6

    As a cabinet maker for years, the one piece of advice I would give is this. Next time don’t make separate cabinets for such a short run, make this as a single cabinet. Especially when they are white, as it reduces separation lines between frames and makes install much easier. I never made a single cabinet shorter than 8’ if I could help it

    Dunno if you figured it out yet or not, but the extra stops in the cupboards aren't necessary. The shelving is your stop.

    Be aware that those usb charging outlets still have all the same issues as a block in a standard outlet. The charger is a transformer so it does produce heat and it is using power even if your not plugged into it. A couple other things being that the output may not be sufficient enough for some devices and the longevity is always an unknown. I know ive been through a ton of standard charging blocks.

Especially one that you invested so many hours, days, weeks, money, headaches, frustration, doubt and apprehension. I feel sorry for people who never get to feel that satisfaction of building something incredible with your own two hands. What a beautiful set of cabinets. And that butcher block omggg. I love it! Makes me inspired to try it myself.

  • @Dragonited

  • @leslietaylor1570
    @leslietaylor1570 5 років тому +4

    I think you did an awesome job!! I would put the block on the one set of doors at the top so it doesn’t block your shelf for plates though 😃
