firsthouse_mp was kind enough to inform me that my first thread would close after 150 posts, so I started this one up. Today is Sunday, and yesterday I hung most of the rest of the cabinet doors. I have left off the island doors because I do not have the right paint color for them, yet. I also made a trip to the BBS to get trim boards for the island, three more upper cabinet end panels, and a hardware attaching template. I will post some photos later. |

Nothing done on the kitchen front. The wind was bad enough to blow a piece of drywall OFF the wall upstairs though, so that might be tomorrows project. To be fair, it was being held in only by masking tape...and I did NOT do this, lol! |
Well it's looking great and I'm totally amazed and awed by all that you've done so far with minimal help. It's been fun to watch the progression! (This weather is crazy everywhere.) |

I installed most of the cabinet hardware yesterday, still have drawers to do. Messed up couple of them, repair work to begin today. Pics to follow. |

Adorable grandson! Thanks for the updates! |
greenhaven, cute little tyke. Fun times. I've missed your first thread and must go back and read it. But I found this tale of drilling for pulls to be very interesting and illustrative of real world, real people situations. I'm looking forward to seeing how the wood fill turns out after you sand, paint and re-drill. I know all about drill bits walking. I refinished a desk and cursed myself that I didn't drill the holes before working on a beautiful finish. I don't know if it's kosher, but I put blue tape over my hole locations, hoping that any walking would be corrected before it broke through the tape. It turned out okay. |
To avoid the drill bit walking: tap a small nail onto your marks, just enough to make an indent in the wood, to hold the drill bit in place. And since the "pegs" don't go all the way through, you could use a smaller bit (just big enough for the screw first, then follow with your larger bit, drilling just deep enough for the peg. I can't believe how much you've accomplished in such a short time! (at least it seems like a short time from this side of the computer, but then again, that's what my brother said about my pregnancy, and that lasted forever!) |
annkh, thanks for the tips about drilling. I thought I was the only one who got walking drill bits. :p |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 13:51
That IS a great tip, thanks annkh. It occurred to me this afternoon, in a nap dream, I kid you not, that I had read to use an awl to punch a little starter hole, effectively the same thing ann said. |
I learned that tip from my Mom :) Here's another, completely unrelated tip from my mother, the Fix and Repair queen: When you open a fresh can of paint, tap a couple of nail holes into the groove into which the lid fits. When you pour from the can into a paint tray, the excess can drip back into the can. If you hide your favorite tools in your underwear drawer, your 9-yr-old son won't find them (and lose them in the woods behind the house). |
Ann, I use that paint can trick all the time!! I find it still drips but not nearly as much. I also use the smaller bit, then screw trick too. Greenhaven, cute baby!! Your reno is really coming along. I'm enjoying watching it. |
If that oak is 25 years old like mine, it's hard as a rock. Definitely start with a smaller bit to make pilot holes. Also, drilling the holes while the doors are mounted is harder. Having them down on a flat surface will make it much easier. |

new DIY movie coming soon! 'drill bits walking' great tips on drilling... I knew that making a 'starter spot' should be done - not that I ever remember it WHEN I'm drilling something. SIGH! I need to put those notes on a 3x5 card and tape to the inner side of a cabinet door... so I can find it when needed. also, good other tips posted from 'mom' ! love that last one. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 21:53
I love this forum, so many great things happen here. such great tips1 I did hardly anything reno wise e4xcept sand my filled holes and add a bit more filler for flush fill. What I did do is recruit my DIL to help me fill and organize my cabinegts. That was totally rewarding and I cant wait to cook something even if the kitchen is not finished. Tomorrow I simply must cut plywood for the tops of the new base cabs. Cooking next to them is really making a mess. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 14 at 11:45
Holy crow! Got a quote of nearly 1300 bucks for backsplash install...more than twice what I actually paid for the tile itself and it was not cheap tile. Looks like momma might get to try her hand at tiling after all... |
- Posted by lori_inthenw (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 14 at 12:36
You are going to be your very own DIY channel here after we watch you master tiling, too! |
- Posted by greenhaven N Illinois 4b-5a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 14 at 14:22
Ha ha, master tiling! I am having seriously second (third?) thoughts about tiling after today's attempt to remedy my misplaced drilling. I let the wood filler cure plenty long, even longer than the recommended 8 hours. The problem was that the wood filler was so much softer than the actual oak that when I went to drill the bit still "fell" into the softer hole. I was left with two choices at that point: 1. purchase new doors, finish and re-drill I opted for number 2, and it is barely okay. The handles are still off, but you have to look harder for it and if you didn't know it was a problem you might not even notice. I still might have to purchase washers for a couple of them, but we will see how it goes. So far this has been my biggest blunder and biggest disappointment yet, but if this ends up being the worst of it I will be satisfied in the end. Today I also got the holes drilled for the drawers after determining the new right placement. Unfortunately the screws provided with the handles are not long enough to go through both the drawer box and the drawer front, so I will have to purchase new ones of the same diameter and thread type, but a 1/4" longer. It will be a minor expense at worst. eta: for todays' drilling I took annkh's advice for using a nail to start the hole to avoid walking bits, and it worked like a dream! I could just as easily have used an awl, if I had actually known where my awl was, lol. As it was, I used the hammer to tap the nail into the wood just far enough to get past the sharp tip and it was enough to trap the tip of the drill bit. |

I like using Brad Point drill bits for drilling wood. They are much less likely to walk. |

I tiled the backsplash at our old house. It was tedious, but not too difficult. There are lots of good how to videos on youtube, just do your research and take your time. The most important thing is to keep level, even tiny variances get compounded and become problematic a few feet down the line! |
Yea! Glad the trick worked out for you. After seeing what you've been able to accomplish thus far, I have no doubt that you could do a fantastic job tiling your backsplash. Or shingling the house. Or building a barn. You rock, girl! |
Bondo girl here for filling holes. Tougher than wood filler when dry...you do have to sand to get smooth, but since your cabinets are painted, not a problem. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 14:51
Stuck doing the boring, tedious stuff today; sanding, painting trim, hanging end panels. Untilll....dun-dun-DUN! My stove hood is in at Menards! Wahoo! Going to get it now, and hoping they restocked my handles because I am short two drawers and a door. |
- Posted by detroit_burb (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 18:40
cool, part II! You are awsome!! I am enjoying this! a cheap low tech solution to the walking drill bit is to take a nail and a hammer and make a divot after you mark the hole position. as the bit becomes dull, it will want to walk. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 21:25
Got a ton of little tedious things out of the way today, like second coats for some face frames, painted and hung island doors, installed rest of the hardware and painted and started hanging end panels. Oh, and gave island two more coats of paint. It will need a third to completely cover the grey, but that's okay. I decided to go ahead and match the perimeter cabs for several reasons: 1. I accidentally painted the drawers fronts the perimeter color Four more days until countertops go in! Yay! My goal is to be ABB by the time those puppies are laid. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 19:37
Got my stove hood hung today, and of all things it fit all but perfectly over the mounting screws from the old one! I still have to wire up the electrical but that is extremely basic...black to black, white to white, ground to the grounding screw, voila! Finished hanging end panels today, too. Had a bunch of other pressing repair stuff to do, plus got my lumber for the horse's shelter! |

I noticed that the guys that drill the holes in my cabinets for the light fixtures (upper library bookcases), that they blue taped over the entire area where they were making a 4" hole. I have a feeling that this helps with placement and also with slippage and protecting the area around the drill. Why not blue tape the edge where you will drill to protect it and place your pen marks right on top of the tape? Just drill right through the blue tape? Greenhaven, I still love reading all your posts and seeing your gumption! And you love horses.....am contemplating making a grand chicken coop and am wondering if I have it in me to build the thing. I am considering re-working a Home Depot shed. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 8:27
firsthouse, you can do it1 If you have never kept chickens then start small. Six is a pretty good starter. Then you can start small on your coop, too. You can check out the Backyard Chickens forum for all sorts of great info including different coop setups. Blue tape is also awesome for preventing chipping and splintering while drillling. |
Hi there! Just catching up. I stopped getting the email for some reason. Drilling handles. Screws. You can also use a nice, small washer on the inside of the door. It covers the hole, but with the bigger hole, it also stops the screw from being pulled through the drawer. Drawer handles or knobs: Definitely put painters tape vertically on the drawer face, so you can freely write the center marks on it. Drill your holes before you reattach the drawer faces if you can. It's MUCH easier! Chickens: I live in the country and have more than enough space. However, a few nights ago my cat growled (growled!?) and when I looked out the slider, there stood a gorgeous red fox looking in. He saw us, I guess, and leisurely trotted off. I also have a rabbit's warren in the garden right in front of my door. Cats aren't going out right now, but stopping the fox? [head shake] Fox = no chickens. Before the fox makes it "no chickens." Keep up the good work! I'm currently procrastinating on making the doors for a W3636 wall cabinet I've made. Borrowed a friend's table top table saw so perhaps I can cut things a little straighter! :) However, inertia has set in. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 15:53
Oooh, inertia can be bad. I am about burned out now but th end is in sight for me1 In all the years I have kept chickens I have never lost one to predators, and we lived surrounded by them. The key is nighttime lockup and predator proof coops. Speaking of inertia all I want to do is sleep today1 two more days until I have my counters, I am sooo ready. It seems I have lost some trim pieces, so it will be a trip to HD for me today. I still have those blasted LS doors to deal with, too, as well as wall painting and trimming the island. |
Just wanted to chime in to cheer you on toward the finish line. You'll get a real lift seeing your new countertops! |
Go greenhaven go! Kitchen reno progress is like molasses over here, so I'm happy to read that you are continually plugging away! Can't wait to see your counters! I miss counters. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 19:23
Hang in there, feisty1 I admire your chops for a full reno. God save me if I ever get there. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, Apr 23, 14 at 14:44
Tomorrow is countertop day! We had decided to maven the installers remove the old one for a nominal fee, but when I called to give them the heads-up they asked for I was told their schedule is so full they would have to put it off another week. I said noooo thank you! So I guess I am prepping for install tonight. Painted the soffits today, and primed my window frame. I have pictures but haven't gotten them off the camera yet, and now I hear the horse is coming home on Saturday! I am so wicked excited, I miss her madly! So now I have a bajillion and one high-priority things to acomplish in the next three days. I wonder which ones will gall through the cracks? Lol! |
Woot!!!! You're almost there! Having the counters in will make you sooooo happy :D |
Can't believe how much you've got done in a month! I admire your tenacity and all you've accomplished. Hope your countertop install goes smoothly tomorrow! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, Apr 23, 14 at 23:37
I finally had time to catch up on your progress, you are really coming along! I enjoy your humor as you meet and overcome obstacles - well done! I look forward to your final result. I know I'm days late on this issue - but a fix I've used for a slightly misplaced drill hole is to use wood glue and a dowel to fill it in. It still needs a little filler and sanding, but does give a more solid spot to put the proper one. I'm going through my own diy remodel, and have a similar kitchen layout. I can almost literally feel your pain: 'oh crap!' is a daily saying around here, lol. I'm excited about my own kitchen, but getting very tired of washing dishes in the laundry room and walking around big hulking cabinets waiting to be installed. Good luck, and keep the stories coming! Patty |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 10:31
psbjmb, that's right! I had heard that once a gamillion years ago and had forgotten. That would have been a really, really good solution. I am so close to done I can practically taste it! Or maybe that is the adhesive seam filler they are using on my countertops. I am hiding upstairs while they finish the sink hole cutting...so noisy! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 21:10
Counters are in and lovely! They look really, really good! I spent all afternoon digging post holes and setting posts so I did not discover until late that the drain kit for the sink had one drain flange that was bent. But DH and I played around under the sink until I knew just what I needed to pick up for parts, so tomorrow we should get the sink installed and all the electrical finished. We are going to shop for a new stove. :o) I balked at first, but now I say "Yuck!" Plus, with a 13 year-old stove I am just postponing the inevitable anyway. Tomorrow first thing I am exchanging the drain kit, picking up miscellaneous plumbing parts and checking on the status of my backsplash. I am also going to choose a new tile for my "tile rug" where the island was. I did discover I really dislike plumbing. The insides of pipes are gross! And the tight work spaces are annoying at best. |
Wow! Looking so good! I can't wait to see the counters a bit better! |
Looking good, GH! Can't wait for the final reveal, though I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your amazing progress. I wanted to reuse my old range too, but after we remodeled, the poor thing looked so old and pathetic. Now I'm regretting my choice - even though the old white range looked horrible in the new kitchen, where all other appliances were stainless, the black top on the new stove is a bear to keep clean. I have to really work to eliminate streaks, where with the old one I could wipe and go (yes, microfiber is my friend, but it's still more work). We found a GE range on clearance at Sears, which helped. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 13:12
annkh, I found a floor model clearance on a SS stove this morning! Subtract the balance I had on my store credit and I paid only a couple hundred bucks for it! It is nothing special but it will look a ton better, and for that price I could not say no! |
Whoo Hoo! I'm thrilled for you! |
- Posted by Texasgal47 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 18:17
Wow, a new stove, greenhaven!!! Way to go!!! I'm so happy for you that you've decided to upgrade now. Your "new" kitchen should have that finished look. |

So today was consumed with getting the parts I needed to finish the under-sink plumbing and, well, doing the under-sink plumbing. I am NOT going to give a blow-by-blow accounting because it involved some very naughty words and fit-pitching and tool-tossing. The worst day by far, but not a disaster so i still count my blessings. The sink is in! The first true "crisis" during this whole remodel was getting all the parts onto the new sink, including the clips that clamp it onto the countertop, getting a nice, fat bead of caulk on it, flipping it into the hole in the counter and discovering the clips are not adequate for the 1 1/4" thickness of the new countertop. Local hardware is closed, Home Depot is a twenty minute drive away, no one is answering their department phones and the caulk is curing. I made the loop through the customer service phone system two full times before i got random department that actually had the plumbing guy right there with them! I explained my problem and my panic and he said "No worries, we can help you with that." Boy howdy, did he ever! He located clip kits for thicker countertops, walked them to the contractor service desk so all I had to do was zip in and zip out. The gal behind the desk said, "Oh, we are just going to give these to you. Next time buy your sink here." *wink, wink* My new favorite home improvement store! I rushed back home to get those clips on before the caulk cured; I had left it with my monster cutting board weighing the sink down and the quartz sink cutout on top of that! The new clips worked a treat and the rest of the job went pretty much without a hitch. That said, it was a royal pain in the you-know-what to get the old clips off and the new ones on while under the sink in the cabinet. Not some of my best moments. It was, though, a joy to turn on the water and everything worked and nothing leaked! It is so pretty! No pics of the stove yet, as it looks like a giant saran-wrapped cube in the back of my truck, still. Tomorrow I have have HAVE to get the fence finished or the horse will have no place to hang when she gets here tomorrow! I do not expect that to take long, though, so hopefully the electric will get finished and the stoves swapped. Another pizza night tonight, crock pot tomorrow, but am cooking a MEAL, baby, in my new kitchen on Sunday! I am way behind where I wanted to be when the counters went in, but a lot has changed since then, and I am fine with it. I still have backsplash to install, trim work to do, walls to paint, LS doors to finish and a floor problem to over come. No biggie, right? LOL |

Greenhaven, you're really a great blogger. You missed a calling in journalism. I would follow a weekly column by you any time. Take a bow on that sink job. Well done! And you have the new stove already???!!!! You take action while people like me keep ruminating on 200 options available rather than make a decision. Please come to my house and get me whipped into shape so I can get my place finished. By the way, thanks for the teaser photo. It all looks really nice. Love the new granite. |
Girlie, you should consider painting the underside of your cabinets. I was looking at the gorgeous counter teaser, then looked to see if you had put a light rail up. What did I see? The unpainted underside of your cabs. Not as pretty as the rest of the kitchen! And a major PIA to paint upside down! |
Ooooh, the counters and cabinets are looking fantastic! I really admire your DIY grit and how you're getting the job done. |
greenhaven-have been following silently. Your DIY is amazing. You can without a doubt definitely tile a backsplash - seriously. After all this you have tackled, you will whip that out like nothing. ;) It looks wonderful. Good work and congrats on getting your horse home. |

CEFreeman said: "Girlie, you should consider painting the underside of your cabinets." lolol, I thought that same exact thing! Will do! :o) Texasgal47 said: "Greenhaven, you're really a great blogger. You missed a calling in journalism. I would follow a weekly column by you any time." Aww, you are too sweet! I do love to write, have kept a blog on-and-off through the years, but I never stay consistent with it. I quit after a trauma with my mother and just never really went back to it. Thank you, feisty and autumn, and all of you who have been a great encouragement and source of learning. This forum is a real gem! |
LOVE the granite! I agree with CEFreeman though, gotta paint the undersides of the uppers... HD gave you the clips???? Gee, when I installed "brazilian cherry" floors from them (paid my cousin who is carpenter, rented the stapler) and then they started cracking, they only refunded me for the flooring, not the labor to install (and rip out), and not even the molding that I ordered later (not knowing we'd need it where wood met tile) and never picked up b/c the flooring was cracking by the time it came in (they determined that the wood had not been properly cured, b/c I DID have HVAC installed in new house and running to acclimate the flooring for a few days before install)! |
- Posted by Texasgal47 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 10:21
Greenhaven, please make me and yourself happy by buying led light fixtures to go under the wall cabinets and run the wiring for them in the wall before the new backer board goes in for the backsplash. Mount them at the very front portion of the cabinet underside. I bought mine at Loews. They are 1" high and come in various lengths, are dimmable, have held up well so far (3 yrs.) and are not too expensive. I just measured mine and the shortest length is 11.5" so you should be able to even install one on the right side of your new stove. This is not the time to skimp and go cheap. Plus, your new backplash will really not show up well (after all that $$$) without UCL. After the backsplash goes in, paint and install light rail molding. Then you can forget about painting the underside of those cabinets. I promise you'll wonder how you survived without decent task lighting in the kitchen all these years. |
This post was edited by Texasgal47 on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 13:10
Excellent advice on the LED undercabinet lights, they are one of my favorite things in my kitchen. My parents' kitchen has no UCL, plus their backsplash is dark red Z-Brick with black mastic for "grout"; they still love it, but to me it's like working in a cave. I love your project and your journal about it. How satisfying it will be when you are done! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 17:52
Oh you guy are going to get me in trouble! lol DH recommended rather strongly that we wire for UCL while we were doing the outlets, even if we were not ready to do the UCL right now. I am not only going to get The Look, I am going to get The Naughty Look! Nothing done on the kitchen front, except my new stove is now sitting in the middle of the floor. I built fence all day instead, and now my horse is home! <3 I love this girl, she has been with me for fourteen years and is now 21. This is me (grey shirt squinting into the sun), Tuesday and the gal who hauled her home for me. Pardon me, I am filthy and wind-burned and tired!: |
Beautiful horse! And your smile speaks to how happy you must be to have her home. Your granite counter and sink are lovely. Looking forward to your reveal. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 23:47
she's beautiful! and much more important than a stove! |
Oh, my she's lovely. And so are you with that big happy smile! Where has she been? and UCL. [low, dangerous voice] you might deserve the Naughty Look. and he might make YOU do the wiring! I do wish I had the electrical skills you have. I could be posting progress as you have. Ok, I have finally found something that causes a feeling I can't say I've ever had in my life: envy. Yup. Envy. Progress envy. [sigh] |

What a beauty!!! I know nothing about horses, but she looks like she has a really sweet disposition. A wonderful ending to a horrendous week. Thanks for the photo. Now we know what Wonder Woman looks like! I hope you stay in bed tomorrow and get some well deserved R & R. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sun, Apr 27, 14 at 8:15
Thanks for the compliments on my Best Girl! It sounds hokey but Tuesday has been a bigger influence on my life and who I am as a person than nearly anything else. She has been back in IL until we could get set up here in MI. Tired of moving and having to start over yet again. CEFreeman, I have never had UCL in my whole life with the exception of a plug n play flourescent jobby at our last home because the lighting was so bad. My big flourescent box I have now is ugly but is positioned well for working on the perimeter. It is my island that suffers, even with both kitchen and DR lights on. Texasgal47, it is quarter after eight and I am lying in bed internet-ing on my Nook. That is a pretty good indication of how my day is going to go, lol! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 21:20
I got nothing done in the Kitchen today as I had to take advantage of the good weather to work on a loafing shed for the horse. But yesterday I picked up some more tile samples for The Hole in the Floor. Thought I had the perfect one picked out, turns out the floor is way warmer in tone than I thought, but it did look a little flat. I had picked up a couple wood-look tiles, but in 2x4" running bond mosaics. I laid the dark one down and it was meh. I told myself to lay down the "blonde" one just for funsies and shocker of all shockers, it is perfect! It actually will look like a little rug when I am done, I am soo pleased. Because it is in running bond pattern it will mean I will have to cut some pieces, but it will be so minimal. I am thinking about seeing if that terra cotta-ish tile in the corner comes in a small rectangular piece that i could use as a "border." Oh, and just to be clear, it is my full intention to widen and lengthen that stretch of cutout to actual "rug" size. Frankly, it actually made me second-guess my tile choice for the backsplash. This wood-like tile is actually sort of basket-y and I like that a lot! Here are a couple crappy cell phone pics in crappy lighting because I feel guilty for not taking ore pics. I am so close to finishing, though! |
- Posted by detroit_burb (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 21:29
when you make your rug, consider using the the tile in a frame around it, one or two tiles deep... if that makes any sense. post some mock ups here, the opinions here are very helpful. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 21:31
Will do! It will definitely need a border. Did not even think about using the main tiles, that is a really good idea! |
- Posted by Texasgal47 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 22:12
Greenhaven, it looks like you're turning lemons into lemonade. I never would have thought of trying a tile rug--really interesting. It would be interesting to see something like that in real life. |
Greenhaven, can I confess I don't want your kitchen renovation to end? There is a whole community of Webbers rooting for you, including of course the entire contingent of women. Keep up the energy level and the chronicles. I bet if you just describe what you are making for every meal in that kitchen you would keep us satisfied through the summer :) |
Glad your sweet girl is home and love your basket tile rug! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 23:27
Oh, POO! I had read back through this and pasted a couple comments I wanted to reply to and accidentally refreshed my page. :o( My apologies for not directly attributing some comments. I did love those bradpoint drill bits! I will have to add some to my drill bit cache. To whomever suggested I would reshingle a roof I have only one response: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! As much as I appreciate the vote of confidence I will neeeverrrr reshingle a roof. ;o) Just putting in a few posts has made me so stiff in the mornings I hobble down the stairs. When did I get OLD? Bondo in the messed up holes was another really good suggestion that I will file away for future reference. And I was alternately shaking my head with embarrassment and amusement at my horrible typing. I can plainly see when I was visiting the forum on my Nook rather than using my actual computer keyboard. What a dork! Most of all, what I have gotten from re-reading through this part 2 is two things: 1. I am dead serious when I say the encouragement I get here is one of the most influential things on my motivation to keep going. I am very tired and have a long list of things that need doing even after the kitchen and shed are done and I desperately appreciate the support. I am the very first one to say "Get of the computer and make some "real" friends!" But the truth is that being brand-new to Michigan has left me rather bereft of RL people on whom I can call and getting to know you all, even through the relative anonymity of the Web, has helped me feel a little less lonely. And your collective knowledge has not only taught me so very much about this kitchen stuff but also about myself, believe it or not. 2. Looking again at the teaser pic of my "coffee center" actually made me tear up a little. It is a profound sense of relief that I am near the end of this project and I am very, very happy with the results so far. Thank you. |
Have you thought about the tiles having an intentionally jagged edge by cutting into the planks? I once saw a large transition done where the tiles kind of "faded" into the planks and it looked great. Looked less formal than a rectangular inset. Just an idea. Wish I could find a photo to show you. I envy your lifestyle. My daughter would go insane with joy living with a horse on the property. |
Oh, dearheart, I get it. I must go to MI this summer to pick up things of my mom's. My sister is buying her house, but she left certain things to the 3 of us. Perhaps at that point, we could meet IRL. It might be fun and I can make a detour! I've been online since 1989. We used to pay by the byte transmitted, which is where emoticons and acronyms came from . I've met wonderful people IRL, but I've also had dear (online) friends disappear or die. I have a file on my desktop my sisters know about for when I go to the big renovation in the sky. Whom to call, where to post, and to whom my entire garden (3 acres) should be dug up and given. Then they can sell this hopefully-done project of a home. In the meanwhile, I also live a rather solitary life. I moved out here with my now-ex-dh, and since he's history (thank GOD) I only work. I don't go out alone, other than my Friday steak + 1 (or 2) glasses of wine. I certainly don't date with my debt load, plus, I intimidate people (read: men, as far as I get it) eventually. So... why bother when I can come home, have a glass of wine and see what others are doing here. :) Not so bad. You have your beautiful horse, and I have (now) 6 cats and my old girl dog, Morgan. Incredible, unconditional love, right? :) The encouragement here is incredible and I understand. I'm sure actually, most here get it! Ya' ain't alone, chickie! |

CEFreeman, of course!!! Drop me an email when you know you are coming this way! Feisty, my jaw literally dropped when I read your suggestion. I think it could be absolutely fabulous! Like "fringe!" I know exactly what you are talking about, and with the nifty cutting gadgets available for rent these days it is very, very doable. Brilliant! |
Wow - I just read through your posts and am amazed at your progress! Its no wonder you're tired! I can't wait to see it all done. Your kitchen looks wonderful and your determination and stamina are very motivating for me to start remodeling my kitchen. |
You and your horse both look so happy to see each other. Your reno is really moving along! Awesome work. |

I have been so lazy and distracted and tired that to say I got the new stove in place today sounds so exciting and special! But it was not. Exciting, yes. Special, no. It took all of five minutes to attach the new cord, another five to slide the new one into the place of the old, and maybe another ten to figure out how to hold that stiff, curly cord out of the way enough to allow the stove to go back as far as it should. I have company coming in four weeks, so now I really need to get my hiney in gear! |

My tile for the backsplash is finally here! Now I have to commit to my homework on installation. If anyone has some good links regarding beginner tiling that would be great! My goal for tomorrow is to finish my trim work and/or the electrical. With onset of spring the kitchen has taken a back seat but I still already love all the space I have to work in. |
Your horse looks like a real sweetheart & happy to be home. I can't believe this might be coming to the end. What's our next project? |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sat, May 10, 14 at 8:37
Ohhhh romy...I cannot even fathom, lol! Actually, I can...I just don't want to! We have a nasty jetted tub with no shower in our "master" bath. The plan is to rip that out and create a big walk-in shower. |
- Posted by detroit_burb (My Page) on Sat, May 10, 14 at 8:42
before you figure out how to install the tile, spend at least a few hours figuring out the layout, decide how wide your grout joints will be when you try the layouts. I am really enjoying your thread here, greenhaven! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sat, May 10, 14 at 8:54
Thanks, detroit_burb! They are 2x4 honed marble in running bond pattern on a mesh back, so layout will not be too difficult. ;o) But I started another thread regarding installation, since this is my first time doing tiling. Feel free to chime in there if there are additional important things I must consider. |

In light of another thread on reno fatigue I thought I would post a quick update. I am definitely suffering reno fatigue, although I hardly deserve to when others have been hammering away at theirs for so long. But I've got it, and a long, long list of other things that need to be done. The stress of the move is finally, finally catching up to me, too, and I took an emotional nosedive. I have been treading water, but am okay with that, for now. So I did finally sand and prime my lazy susan doors, which I have been putting of for forever because...well, I am sick of sanding and painting, lol! But I did it, and found the trim pieces I needed for above the upper cabs and sanded and primed those, too. I had to pick up a new board for filler trim on the far right end of the new run, too, but got it and am ready to prime and paint. I am putting off painting trim until the backsplash goes in, and have been putting off tiling because I am still not confident enough in the steps. but I AM still doing homework and think I at least have all the materials I need to get started. Oh! And I finally ordered stools and pendants. I was going to postpone pendants for the island since it might be a while before we get re-wired for that, but as I was narrowing down all my options the two (stools and pendants) just came together and clicked for me. These are the stools I have on the way: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1670546/carolina-cottage-berkshire-counter-stool.jsp And two of these pendants: http://www.countrylivingprimitives.com/irvins-stockbridge-shade-light-with-chisel-design-clone-2.html Thanks to all of you who weighed in on the decision-making process for both of those. Those stools were not on the original list, but the price is right and I think they are a really good fit. |
The stools and the pendants are great choices. They look current yet slightly rustic in a good way. Are you planning to have tie-on cushions for your stools? I decided that we will. I've found that cushioned dining chairs have made a huge difference for us, to my surprise. I never realized how uncomfortable hard seating is for some members of my household. Of course, I can choose cushions at my leisure. IKEA alone has quite a selection. |
I'm glad you were able to decipher my tile to wood transition idea. This is a different tile shape, but I thought I'd show you this inspiration photo: |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 8:05
Oh feisty that is soo cool! If I can pull it off I will, but I have to add some underlayment that will make my tile higher than the laminate, which means a piece of transition trim. :( But that is wiiicked cool! I do love the stools and pendants, and think they will look great but do wonder whether everything will play nicely when it is all put together again. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 14 at 1:36
My stools and pendants came in this past week, and I finally got round to opening the boxes. Love them all even more IRL! Very excited to get the pendants up, even though that will be one of the last things we do and might be awhile. I might "dry hang" them just because they are so dang cool. My motor has been revved, thanks in no small part to the mutual encouragement we DIY-ers have given each other on the "Let's Finish This Thing!" and "What We Accomplished Today" threads. DH helped me get the outlet in the island powered, one more new outlet installed above the new lower cabinet where the fridge was, and the stove hood powered up. The lazy susan doors and some trim have been sanded and primes, and await their first coats of paint. I also bought new pieces of trim for fillers that needs cutting, sanding, priming, painting. Oh, and for all my fellow DIY-ers, a special gift for me, and now from me to you. I think this is what finally did the trick: |
LOL, my dh had one of those before he moved cross-continent. But he must have gotten another one because stuff is HAPPENING. Stuff is happening in your kitchen too I see! The pendants and stools are really great in the photos - glad they are making you happy IRL. "I have to add some underlayment that will make my tile higher than the laminate, which means a piece of transition trim." Yes, I guess that is the amazing thing about the photos I've seen. They must all somehow get around the issue of the tile and the wood being different thicknesses right? Because you'd never have the situation where they'd be the same? I don't know if a crazy transition would look right in your kitchen. You'd know by laying out tiles on your floor I guess? |

Excellent news in the greenhaven house!!! I do not remember who it was that made the comment about my being able to shingle a house, but I was desperately afraid that was gong to become prophetic after we started losing shingles in the wind storms about a month ago. Well, I found a local guy who does roofing, he came out and gave a very reasonable estimate and said they do all kinds of work. "Oh really?" I asked, "What kind of all kinds of things? Like...tiling?" "Sure! We just finished a beautiful tiling job, we do a LOT of it." Wahoo! Invite that man in to give me a quote on my backsplash, yes please! So not only did I find someone to fix the roof he is going to do my backsplash, too. I am SO relieved. I truly believe i *could* do it. But I don't wanna. Truly. So happy! |
Yay for lucking into a tiler! In my other house, I tiled a kitchen floor and bathtub surround. Not my favorite thing to do, but I couldn't afford to do it any other way. We also did the BS in this house, but it wasn't a huge area, and the split-face marble is more forgiving. |
Wonderful news! Glad your windstorm clouds had such a bright silver lining! |
Perfectly done tiling is a Good Thing :) . |
Love your pendants and stools! The comfort thing is really driving/limiting our choices for stools and I'd like to get that done really soon. You are really on a roll now, especially with your new help and Round Tuits! Thanks for passing those on, we always need a chuckle! I'm thinking many of us are in the same stage and will be finishing close together! Here's to a good week! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 19:48
bbtrix, go get 'em, girl! I am trying not to hold out for hope that The Guy can get it in before company comes on Saturday....trying to be content whatever, but now I am excited to see it come to a close. I do have to say, especially since the tiling burden has been lifted, that I really, really love my new kitchen space even if it is not perfect and not my dream kitchen. It is so very pleasant to work in and look at! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 20:09
ETA: Oops, lol, forgot to post my kitchen progress! Not much, but I am counting it anyway. Unpacked both pendants and stools and trashed the trash, and assembled the second stool and tucked them both up under the island overhang, even though the floor is still wonky. Not much on the kitchen front, but it is still something. It is (ever so slightly) possible that I will start painting the primed ls doors and trim tonight. |
Need stool pix in place! |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 21:30
Lol, okay! Will be hard to do without capturing the whole kitchen, and have been kind of saving up for my reveal. I will go do it now. PS, changed my mind. Too dark! Tomorrow. |

Pantone Jewelry: What Color is Your Pendant?
Here's a cool piece of jewelry for the graphic designer or creative person in your life. Each one of these nifty pendants features an individual Pantone color chip – an homage to print design that also makes a cool color accent piece.
They're made by Budapest artist Gitta Hadabas of Hadigi Design. The pendants are printed onto a special holographic paper, giving them a really cool shimmering effect while viewed from different angles. The paper is set under a round glass cabochon, and placed into an antique bronze setting.
They come in a variety of colors, and sell for approximately $21 (USD) over on Etsy. Keep in mind that price doesn't include a chain, but then you can attach these to a necklace, bracelet or keychain of your choice.
What's your favorite Pantone color? I was always a sucker for "High Risk Red."
Comments (1):
these arent even a little bit pretty, kinda lame, a paper fake gem stone pretty much, theres a sucker born every day! Most of the sh*t on Etsy is like I said SHI* – thats why there is a whole amazingly funny site dedicated to making fun of the trash and glued together yardsale rejections called REGRETSY dot com! look it up, u will laugh so hard at the stuff people try to sew together….and even more so at the prices!

Re: UPDATE: Wood Bender's Handbook by Zachary Taylor
As a Windsor Chair maker, I am always interested in learning more or newer ideas for bending wood for my chairs. This would really be a great addition to my library.
Re: UPDATE: Google SketchUp Guide for Woodworkers - The Basics with Dave Richards
I've been a FW subscriber from the first issue and still have almost every copy. Still look forward to each issue and really enjoy the E-mail News Letters. I think Sketch Up is a great tool, but I know I need help to use it effectively. Hope I can win this DVD
Re: Man Wins Big Money in Tablesaw Lawsuit
Jamie; I am in complete agreement with you and with probably 95% of the other woodworkers who have responded to this story.
In my way of thinking, this story is a prime example of the big difference between the Legal System and the Justice System. And there is indeed a DIFFERENCE. Too often the Legal system is used to try to obtain justice. The legal system is making everyone responsible for the actions of a few stupid, inept or careless persons.
That having been said, I am considering the replacement of my table saw with a SawStop. The reason - I have been using woodworking tools and machines for over 70 years without anything more than a little nick. I was well taught safety in a school class shop. Having turned 80 last year and still woodworking, I am more aware of my slightly reduced capabilities and lessening attention span and I want to continue enjoying my shop activities with all digits intact for a long time yet.
Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Windsor Chairmaking by James Mursell
This is certainly one book I want to read and have on my shelf. I thoroughly enjoy building Windsor Chairs and would be delighted to win this book. I'm a real optimist so will wait until next week's drawing BEFORE ordering my copy.
Re: Poll: Any Machinery on your Holiday Wish List?
Just treated myself to a Dewalt planer for my 80th birthday and it is great. Now I need a bigger dust collector, then an 8" Jointer, a new unisaw and if Santa hears this and delivers ??? I will then need a new bigger shop to get everything in ! I simply cannot imaging a life without a good shop. I really have been a good (old) boy Santa.
Re: Who Begot Who? Comparing Planes from Lie-Nielsen, Wood River and Stanley
As most of the other postings have implied, there are many more differences than simple physical measurements of these planes. Steel quality of the castings and irons are two main things that determine quality and neither of these were mentioned in the FW article ! However, I find it most disappointing to see the absence of any mention of Lee Valley, when someone writes an article about quality tools. To me the FW article lacks credibility ! Although I do have some off shore tools, I try to buy North American Quality wherever possible, just as I try to patronize my local/regional food and wine producers and restaurants. I have never been disappointed with an owner operated restaurant of an owner operated tool source - (read Lee Nielsen - Lee Valley). One of the reasons we work with wood is for the pride and satisfaction we obtain from a finished product. Part of the satisfaction comes from using tools you are proud to own.
Re: Can Fine Woodworking and art furniture coexist?
As a charter subscriber of FWW I certainly concur with all of the above comments and opinions. I work with wood because I thoroughly enjoy the complete process of thinking or dreaming of a project - trying to visualize an approach and anticipate the problems - beginning the work - actually becoming totally involved with the project and seeing it through to completion. While I do hope the end product will be successful and appreciated, my primary satisfaction comes from simply doing it. I build Windsor chairs - wooden boats/canoes and other furniture and am always looking forward to beginning the next project just as I look forward to the next issue of FWW.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
MEXICO/US - Commentary: Leftist Daily Criticizes US Government's Response to Wikileaks Documents

-- An editorial in Mexico City La Jornada, on 29 November, criticizes the
US Government's response to the release of more than 250,000 US diplomatic
telegrams by the Wikileaks internet site. The editorial argues that he US
Government's response to "an act of freedom of information reveals how
little, deep down, the imperial arrogance of the United States toward the
rest of the world has changed, (as well as) the nonexistent importance
granted by power spheres in Washington to international legality and to
the right to information (...)." The editorial goes on to argue that the
Wikileaks documents "have revealed the informational bias and distortion
of some of the main media in the west," and it criticizes The New York
Times ' decision to consult with the White House on the publication of
documents that could harm the United States' national interests. The
editorial concludes that "the lack of transparency, the excessive secrecy,
and the capacity for manipulating information in the world's political
power centers, added to the loss of independence of the great traditional
media regarding political and economic interests, make the latest actions
of Wikileaks all the more important for society, for governments
themselves, and for the good health of journalism." (Mexico City La
Jornada Online in Spanish -- Website of major left-leaning daily, critical
of PAN and PRI administrations; URL: http://www.jornada.unam.mx

Jennifer Lopez' Glam Winter Wardrobe
Could she be any more glamorous? The mommy mogul has all the ingredients of classic movie-star glamour: a fur-trimmed coat (Diane von Furstenberg makes the black one the Parker star wore to the Good Morning America studios), animal print extras (like the leopard Valentino clutch she carried), and oversized shades (Lopez' cat-eye lenses are on-trend for spring).

Alpha 1 Anti-Trypsin Deficiency
Pronounced: Al-fa-wun An-tee-TRIP-sin Dee-FISH-en-see
En Español (Spanish Version)Alpha 1 anti-trypsin (AAT) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that causes the enzyme AAT to not work well. It can cause lung and liver disease in children and adults.
AAT deficiency is an inherited disorder. It is passed from parents to children. This condition occurs when the liver does not make useful AAT. AAT is a protein that protects the lungs and other organs from damage. When functional AAT levels are too low, lung damage may occur.
People with AAT deficiency can also develop liver disease. AAT deficiency is one of the major causes of genetic liver disease in children. The liver makes an abnormal version of AAT protein that builds up in the liver. This blockage can damage liver cells. In some cases, severe liver damage can occur.

I post over on the KT but have some questions I bet y'all might know the answers to. I went to a WW meeting this morning and I'm not sure I understand all this stuff. They wouldn't let me take the pamphlets home and unless I know I've "got" this, I won't join. How difficult is it to follow all these points? Do you have to write down everything you eat? Did y'all do the flex or core program? I just don't see how you keep up w/ that every day. The gal said she carried some kind of paper in her purse. Just how hard is it? Can you tell me how you handle it? I just feel like a confused child on this deal. I was the only person there that didn't join. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by milkdud_2007 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 08 at 22:00
Hi, Vannie! I rejoined WW back during the winter, and I opted to do the Core plan this time around. I found the Flex-points plan exhausting to keep up with, to be honest. I've been much more successful this time by knowing exactly what foods I can eat and have really enjoyed the cooking that goes along with it. I keep a mental list of the "required" foods needed for a healthy diet: 2 tsp. healthy oil, healthy grains, lean meats, veggies, and dairy. So much easier! They didn't want you walking out of there with their literature because you didn't pay for the privilege. It may seem mean to you, but the literature goes along very well with the training you receive after your first meeting and sign-up and subsequent literature you'll receive over the first 10 weeks of membership. Members pay for this knowledge, which is why you weren't given anything to take home to read. If they'll allow you to attend another meeting for free, by all means ask if you can stay for the info meeting for new members afterwards to learn if or which plan is for you. |
I was on WW for 3 years. I lost 55 lbs in 11 months. I have not been following it lately or getting regular exercise so gained some back. I am going on a different diet to see if it works as well as WW but I still eat a lot of the WW choices. WW is easy to do as long as you know how to count. For the flex plan you get a slider that shows you how many points are in each thing you eat that has the calorie/fat/fiber on them and the WW books list every thing else. I still carry my slider in my purse when I go grocery shopping. (There are a lot of the frozen meals that show WW points on the back of the package. Everything else I just used the slider.) At first you do have to write everything down but after a while you know how many points are in the foods you eat regularly. With the Flex plan there is a lot of choices of foods. The core plan is good if you cook at home and don't go out to eat a lot. |

Maria Theresa von Paradis
Maria Theresa von Paradis was an Austrian music performer and composer who lost her sight at just five years old. Named after the Empress to whom her father was Secretary of Commerce and Court Councilor, she received a broad musical education in piano, singing and theory. Performing as a singer and pianist, she commissioned works from various different composers, including a piano concerto from Haydn (HXVIII: 4) and an organ concerto from Salieri (missing its second movement). She had an excellent memory and exceptionally accurate hearing that meant, dispite her sight problems, she could get to grips with all these conplex works. At her height, she knew a staggering 60 concertos by heart.
It is believed that Mozart wrote his 18th piano concert in B flat in 1784 for Maria Theresa. Listen to a work composed by this talented lady as well as the piano concerto in full on our special playlist dedicated to an exceptional woman.

From all those possibilities, it came down to one single moment when what happened seemed almost inevitable. It was as if some force akin to gravity pulled us into orbit around each other, pulling us closer and closer until my hand touched her face and then we kissed.
There was nothing either one of us could do about it; despite the lives we both had, waiting there for us to return to them. Neither of us was free, neither of us could afford to risk everything on this one accident of fate that could destroy both of us and the lives we had created around ourselves.
Stronger, though, than any of the reasons why not, was this force that pulled us together. A force that pulled us out of our ordinary lives and into a new world that neither of us knew before.
We knew it would not, could not last, but when we were there together it seemed as though our real lives were just the fading wisps of dreams left behind in some fantasy world beyond the door of this room and this was the real, the solid, the actual.
Nothing else seemed to matter.

In an effort to avoid that problems that have arisen with housing projects in Charlestown and Cambridge, the Neighborhood Association of Back Bay announced today that it has set up a private fund to help defray housing costs for potential residents, allowing the less well-heeled to take up residence in the neighborhood.
"The last thing we want to see here in Back Bay is a big, ugly tower going up on the Comm Ave mall or the Esplanade," explains NABB chair Rich Godolby. "We've successfully fought off real estate developers for years, but the Boston Redevelopment Authority essentially has absolute power in this regard. Subsidizing residents directly is clearly the best way to preserve the safety and architectural character of the neighborhood."
Under the plan, households making less than $100,000 yearly will be eligible to buy properties at a progressively discounted rate, based on the pace of inflation and the length of time a property has been on the market. For example, the sale price of a home on the market for over 100 days will revert to its assessed value from 2001. One on the market for 200 days will revert to its value from 1998, and so on.
"It's a great way to keep the market hot in this economic downturn," comments John A. Keith, a local real estate broker who blogs on the Back Bay market at http://bostonreb.com. And he's not kidding; under the plan, this 1,400-square-foot two bed at 57 Marlborough St. drops to a staggering $450,000 – not dirt cheap, but certainly a steal for the location, and sure to move fast. Likewise, 136 Beacon Street's long unsold Unit #1 plummets to $315,000, or $300/square foot – the average cost of a home in Somerville's beleaguered Winter Hill neighborhood.
"We realize it's expensive," continues Godolby, "but we're all economically-minded here. As a neighborhood, we came together and put a price on preserving the look and feel of Back Bay as we know it. People around here tend to have a fair amount of disposable income, and we were willing to spend a good deal of it to keep the towers out."
"And looking back now," laughs Godolby, as he looks out onto the mall from his Comm Ave brownstone, "it sure has payed off a lot better than buying Bear Stearns."
