    With all due respect Sir, you remind me of my grandfather! He had this way of teaching you something, by "showing" you how it's properly done.
    He would get me started, and I'd continue on with the project, he'd always pop in and make sure I was on task!
    By the Way,
    I'm starting my remodel today with the help from my 2 oldest boys, so this will be invaluable, thank you!

    Thank you for this video. I decided to use the large utility room (approximately 15 x 20) as my kitchen. The previous owners of the house had used it for a laundry room and for storing gardening tools. At first, I used it as a great room, placing two large open china hutches in it and a table and chair set. I also used it as a laundry room because of the utility sink already installed and laundry hook-ups. However, I recently decided to turn that room into a kitchen. I have my dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator in there now. There was already a 220-240 line for the dryer, so I hooked my stove up to that line. I used the utility sink and I put my dishwasher in there as well. There's a small space off from that room where electrical wires are gathered. I use that as a small pantry. The only thing I need to do in that room is install a new tile floor. It's so much more functional now rather than the built-in kitchen already in the house. I am taking those built-in cabinets out and converting that room into a dining room. My former dining room is now my living room, and my former living room is not a library/study. I really prefer the old-style free-stranding kitchens now rather than built-in kitchens because there is less labor involved, they are cheaper to set up, can be changed easily, and are more functional.

Turning a terrible tiny, floor plan, U Shaped kitchen with gaw'd awful too large appliances installed by the contractor in 1995. Into a Skinny Kitchen/Compact/Tiny House. We are talking the 8' foot 4" inch wall with the plumbing on it and lining up the 24" wide Frig, 20" wide" stove, 18" wide inch dishwasher, and the remaining inches go to the single deep sink and the cabinet.

    I live in a condo building built in the 80's. My kitchen cabinet wall is up against my neighbors kitchen cabinet wall. Our drain is shared. Last week I hired a company to remove the old cabinet and replace them with new ones. the sink is being moved over a few feet. Where the pipes are and where the drain is he cut out the sheet rock exposing these pipes and drain. So no barrier between the inside of this building i live in with the pipes/drain and the back of my cabinets. As expected he did not want to remove the corner cabinet and a thinner 3 draw cabinet so install sheet rock. I feel as though my kitchen is filthy having this wall exposed in the back of my cabinet. The countertop has not been installed yet. I was wondering if you would recommend that i insist on him removing the cabinets and adding the sheet rock. Thank you.

    I want to move a side panel under the kitchen sink as it keeps blocking our washing machine, and we have to use force to put the washing machine in place, every time we take it out to be fixed. On the left side of the washing machine there are the water pipes so nothing can be removed. But I was wondering can I move a cabinet side panel that is holding up the sink and counter a little so there's a gap between it and my washing machine?
