Plywood Door installation:-

Part 2 - Plywood Doors with decorative skin

This door arrived too wide, the factory mistake, so modification on the spot.

On site work base preparation (Mc Guyver feeling here) - use paint can.

Saw off the excess width.

Renovation Updates - Finishing Details

Painting my Doors,
Previously bought a few bare unpainted wooden doors and installed it while waiting for my contractor to help me paint it later.
Sad to say the guy "disappeared"  doh.gif (another example of a irresponsible contractor  mad.gif )
So after waiting a few months for the guy to appear, I finally decided to get another indonesian to help me paint the door.
This is what he did

Sandpaper the door
Slap paint on it
Sand the door again
Slap a final coat of paint on it
Paint the frame..

Clothes Hanger :- after thinking and rethinking on what and how to install the clothes hanger in my laundry area hmm.gif ,
finally decided to go with zheilwane suggestion.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Initially was worried that it will swing, but after looking at the product in Homedec 2012,
I realized that it can be " locked" to the ceiling when it is fully raised, thus no swinging.  nod.gif
(Also I realized that to install a clothes hanger in the laundry room area myself is darn difficult  tongue.gif )

The installation process

Screwing in the fittings to the roof truss

Screwing in the winch to the wall and aligning the cables

Adjusting and fitting the rods.
Too Long, need to saw off 6" to fit my area.

Testing and aligning

Kitchen Cabinet

After living with a cabinet-less kitchen, finally decided to cabinat-lize it.
A kitchen without cabinet is damm messy.. shakehead.gif

As for the design of the cabinet placing, initially I had my own design with all the cabinet types all figured out.
My design top and bottom cabinets are syncronized with a space for a built in oven (I even prepared a power point for it).
But with input from my boss lady and the cabinet supplier, my design was totally disregarded.  shakehead.gif

The top and bottom cabinet are not syncronized as my cabinet supplier advised that it serves no practical and in my case asthestic purpose. Furthermore it will make some of the cabinets too narrow.
My built in oven plans was totally removed as my boss lady says that she does not use oven for everyday cooking. Will only use (if ever) to bake cookies during CNY once a year. (Cabinet supplier advised that oven/electrical product not used often will get damaged or malfunction)
Furthermore the oven will limit her drawer width and take up more cabinet space.
I just surrender at this point and console myself that I will be saving some $$$ from not buying an oven  tongue.gif

Decided to use a white glass surface as I want to reflect as much light as possible in my relatively narrow kitchen.

Finally the kitchen cabinet design turned out as below.

Install the bottom cabinet carcase first.

Then install the top cabinet carcase.

Fitting on the cabinet doors, drawers and fittings.

Surprisingly the kitchen feels wider and bigger after the cabinets are installed.  thumbup.gif
Next ... The Wardobe ....(To be continues again  tongue.gif ) .....

Very nice KC you have there. I personally prefer white glass surface for my KC as well. Good job! The finished results are great. By the way, your kitchen is not narrow at all bro tongue.gif
