The guys are here trying to fit the panels to the fridge as I write this (Saturday morning). I'm eavesdropping and it sounds like a little rework is necessary before they will fit properly.
They installed the handles on the panels, but the panels can't be installed until the necessary modifications are made.
Progress was made this week, though.
What you can't see is that the fridge is making noise.
The good kind.
The kind that means it's working... :-)
The panel was installed on the dishwasher. Along with its handle.
And the doors have been fitted below the sink. They'll need to be adjusted and will get handles eventually, too.
The range and microwave are in place. Though the microwave has a trim kit that will get installed eventually.
Wainscot and cap were installed almost everywhere, so it can be painted next week. It will be "Ivory Tusk" to match the window trim.
They created and installed a new base molding on the curved wall. They have access to all the right tools and materials to bend, laminate, and route the edge of the piece (not necessarily in that order), so it looks a lot prettier than what I did in the attic.
Wow, that curved baseboard looks great! I've recently been toying with adding a curved corner to one of my upcoming project, but the thought of making the curved millwork (stained oak) to match it is giving me pause.
ReplyDeleteThey made a cardboard template and used a steam box to make the various layers pliable. I should have taken a picture be fore they installed it, but it looked like it was at least 4 or 5 layers. The two at on the inside of the curve were kerfed panels (like this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiz5qioqvLPAhXGLyYKHT_sDDoQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fplywoodexpress.com%2Fproject%2Fkerfed-panels%2F&psig=AFQjCNFHgdGhAdxxma5mP2CLvT4FcCkURQ&ust=1477360349219364) back to back. Then several layers more including the outer layer that had the beading routed into it at the top edge. They said they "used lots of clamps".
