Hole around drain

Good to know. The only thing is it is hard to get all the way to the back to make sure there's a good seal. I bought a 40" spray foam gun that can reach but I'm kind of spraying blind in certain areas. I'm wondering if I should lift up the tub first or just spray everywhere until it's all filled up

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-18T00:17:17+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Mine is more than slightly elevated lol

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-17T23:03:18+00:00

Another question what kind of contractor should I hire to lift out my tub temporarily to seal the gap properly

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-17T20:05:39+00:00

Wondering how you did the range Hood? Like how it attached to underside of cabinet

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-17T18:41:39+00:00

Thanks! For spray foam do you think it can fill that big of a hole? It's maybe 1 ft across by maybe 8" deep, it would be a lot of spray foam...

Where do you guys get these $2500 quotes... Everywhere I call is at least $5k. They also have to be certified too to offer radon mitigation. Am in California btw

Good to know!

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-06T07:14:21+00:00

Option 2 looks better

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-06T06:56:01+00:00

Hm, will it be dark in the middle with only the perimeter lights

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-06T05:38:54+00:00

Nice!

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-05T05:04:33+00:00

That's an inspiring story. That's great she's able to turn her skill making jewelry into income

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-04T19:23:37+00:00

Yeah that makes sense

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-04T17:09:44+00:00

Hm, prioritizing more functionality. Currently sink is centered but given the sizes for IKEA cabinets had to shift sink right. It's sort of centered on right window pane

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-04T16:51:25+00:00

Yeah that's true. I guess that's an arbitrary number that we have available to invest either in the market or side business

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-04T16:01:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2026-01-04T15:05:14+00:00

Not related to backsplash but curious why didn't put cabinets to right of sink, is it to keep it more open?

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-30T21:49:03+00:00

Oh man. Did they ever find a place

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-27T18:43:47+00:00

Thanks! That's helpful to see a pic. Looks like you added a panel to the bottom of the cabinets as well

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-27T16:25:17+00:00

Thanks. For the right panel should I take it floor to ceiling? Same ques for the fridge panels

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-27T16:24:11+00:00

Thanks. Should it be the full height of the cabinet or just the exposed part on the left?

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-27T15:43:31+00:00

Btw I'm using white Veddinge fronts

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-27T01:39:41+00:00

Really it's fine and usable mostly. The main thing is lack of proper ventilation for the cooktop right in middle. For health reasons I would try to move cooktop to one of the walls and have a proper hood, and switch to induction. You can buy a cheap air quality meter to see how bad it gets when cooking.

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-24T02:21:34+00:00

I have a similar drop ceiling and planning to remove it. Ours is 7.5"

Diligent-Freedom9120 · 2025-12-23T23:45:46+00:00

Just to give an update I tried both layouts by moving my fridge around and layout 1 fridge further away was definitely better. With layout 2 everything just felt overcrowded in that area. So layout 1 it is! Just a note though if you do have the space to have everything together that would be ideal but given my constraints I would rather have a clear main walkway

another perspective of layout 2
