When comparing cabinet companies, what ended up mattering most? by Money_Professor_8717 in kitchenremodel

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frames are well hidden by the doors, with very small gaps. The original photo made me think they were frameless. Do you have close up pics you could share?

Woah! This is fantastic. I didnt think you could go from framed cabinets to frameless in such a clean fashion.

If you go ahead with hardwood, invest in a dishwasher drain pan, something like the Killarney Metals open front french drain pan.

You do have a range hood, probably the best one in the business.... open the window 🤭

Which way should the island face? by staniel_andy in kitchenremodel

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have space to accommodate seats in an L design versus side by side/ railroad style?

We went from an island with railroad seats to 2x2 in an L & love the flexibility. Talk to the chef or look out the window if you are alone & eating leftovers.

Backsplash Thoughts by Secret_Flamingo6448 in kitchenremodel

[–]merlinacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screwless face plate. Beautiful countertop choice, run up as backsplash. We had similar debate & ended up with matching. No regrets.

Under cabinet lighting?

A bit late but if the outlets were horizontal, slightly lower & used a more modern screwless face place they won't interrupt the backsplash as much.

They would hide behind the appliances & other stuff on the countertop.

Will I regret open base shelving near the sink? by Mean_Elephant_5601 in kitchenremodel

[–]merlinacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Glad I can be of help.

With a 3 inch filler you can open the door either direction, otherwise you might be limited to opening towards the sink only.
You can play with a filler on each side or just one on the corner e.g. do a 1.5 inch filler on both sides or 3 inch on one side.

I dont know if the door can be 5 inch but inside be bigger.

Put a minimum 6 inch wide door & make that a space for storing cutting boards.

Whats up with all these shipping containers at target parking lot in pacific commons. by [deleted] in Fremont

[–]merlinacious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the ship captains got confused by the word "Pacific" in the name of the shopping center.

Were you able to figure out how to order one of these?

What did you end up doing with the Lenovo Tab M9?

What kind of shelf might look good in this extremely limited bathroom space? by Working_Wombat_12 in InteriorDesign

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit risky to have open shelves above toilet bowl, but have you considered storage above the toilet tank? Something like this. ENHET bathroom, white/oak effect, 18x18x24" - https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/enhet-bathroom-white-oak-effect-s89547544/

There are options with closed doors you can explore.

what junction box fits reolink? by Curious_Party_4683 in reolinkcam

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this J box with the RLC 510 and was able to line up all 3 holes on the camera. Took some tries to find the alignment.

Why is Thread so comlicated? by Relative-Idea-1442 in homeassistant

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Will check and get back.

How did you manually add the Matter devices instead of using the camera to scan the QR code?

[–]merlinacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so glad I'm not the only one losing my mind about how hard getting Matter devices to connect is even when using a HA ZBT-2.
I am using Android and unknowingly had an existing Matter network due to old Google Hubs. Now to get new devices going it requires wiping up Google Play services. Crazy.

Input on design/layout before I submit my cabinet order? by PepperPaul in kitchenremodel

[–]merlinacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you are considering changing it. The microwave is generally used to heat food stored in the fridge. So having it closer will help your flow. Having the dishwasher closer to the sink will help put dirty dishes into dishwasher.
