    I just watched your other video on the refrigerator panels! I am in the middle of a remodel of my kitchen and haven't cut the cabinet doors yet. I am going to hide my refrigerator, a flat four panel and my dishwasher which is the same as yours. Thank you so much. Love the videos and easy to follow.

    This is an amazing idea and DIY project. Thanks so much for sharing. Unbelievable how all these brands want to charge more for panel ready machines.

    That is very nice. Your entire kitchen looks very nice. I am thinking a draw front on hinges; so it drops foward, could be added for a dishwasher with top front controls. There must be a way; because I am going to try this, and my dishwasher has front controls. Thank you. Great Video.

    What thickness of maple plywood and poplar wood did you use to make your kitchen cabinets? They are the best work I have ever seen! So neat and clean looking! I love your whole kitchen and would like to replicate much of it! Thank you for being so kind in sharing with us! You've done a super job!

    • @TheMerrythought

      Our dishwasher doesn't have a vent at the bottom (ours vents out the drain hose). We just put a painted wood board at the bottom of ours to match our cabinet toe kicks.

    So, you have significantly changed the weight on the spring return tension. I notice you have to fully lift the door, as there appears to be no offset balance. Is the spring adjustable?

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  Рік тому +6

      The spring is not adjustable. The panel we have is very light, it hasn't really changed how the door opens/closes. It's been on for almost 2 years with no issues.

    We're thinking about getting the same oven - is this with the bronze hardware or the brass? If so, do you mind sharing where you got your pulls/and what color? We like this bronze/matte white oven combo but worried about finding the right colored pulls/cabinet hardware to match. Thanks!

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  Рік тому

      We have the brushed bronze hardware. (rstyle.me/+b6UYIttigYDJq9_G1TFjUw). They did not have the brushed brass option when we ordered ours.
      These are the cabinet pulls we have: www.houseofantiquehardware.com/brass-drawer-pulls-cup-3-3-4?quantity=1&finish=4. Ours are the un-lacquered brass, and then I used brass ager on them to turn them darker. (Video on that process here: ua-cam.com/video/lNl_5bzbfkY/v-deo.htmlsi=SFyUxYKs5-j2Ycpc). I found that gave the closest match to the oven knobs.

    Hi! Can I ask how you did your recessed drywall? This is an outside wall so what about insulation? Also, did you remove a stud to make them 24” apart to push it back into the cavity?

    • @TheMerrythought

      It is an outside wall, and there is insulation behind the drywall. We notched a 2x6 stud, about an inch, to be able to fit it.

    Curious if you guys tightened your hinges /springs?
    I just put my panel on and it looks awesome but it’s a bit too heavy to hold and falls down. Any insight here? we only have springs on our doors but wasn’t sure if there was something I’m missing. We have almost the exact same dishwasher.

    • @TheMerrythought
      @TheMerrythought  2 роки тому

      Sorry, just seeing this now. We did not need to tighten the hinges or springs on ours. Not sure why it would be doing that, maybe the weight of your panel? Ours stays open without falling, so I'm not sure what could help since we haven't dealt with that problem. Sorry!

    just letting you know this will do 2 things. 1 void the warranty. 2 cause the door springs/pully system to fail early due to the excess weight. not to mention depending on your panel weight your door may be too heavy for it even to function. just pay the 300 dollars more for the panel ready.
