Fetzervalve Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 We are starting a major kitchen move/remodel that will push the KK into heavy use this spring - summer - fall I hope it doesn't last till fall, but it's gonna be about 99% DIY so who knows. Perhaps, I'll toss up a few pictures of the project..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboy Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Fetzer, what ever you figure in time and materials; double it! You'll definitely be using the Kooker! Low and slows; ribs, butts, etc. worked out great in keeping the help happy. I'm coming to the end of a remodel project I started in Jan; bath, kitchen, and bedrooms. My first time doing such a thing. I did hire out the sheet rock work; which is now hung and being finished as I write, should be finished Saturday; so this weekend hoping to start doors, trim, etc. That's the big boss coming in to crack the whip; you'll get that too!

johnnyboy Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Great Job, Whiz. I dunno how you ever found the energy to do both remodel and post it on the web at the same time. Good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 johnnyboy, all I did was move things around and write enormous checks. Dan and Lynne did all the work, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzervalve Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Appliances Anyone have any experience with commercial type indoor cooking apparatus, such as a range? We would like to get something nice - perhaps on the level of a KK. We are trying to decide and have it more or less narrowed to 36" dual fuel range, either a Dacor or Thermador. Any opinions/experience with these? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I bought a Jenn-Air 36" dual fuel range. So far I'm happy with it. I got the one with the twin ovens: So far so good. The only thing I don't like is that black shiny porcelain top surface shows every speck of dust and grease and nose hairs and you name it. So, you have to clean it fairly often if you mind how things look in your kitchen. We had a minor problem with and got the repairman in. Turns out it was user error but the repair man did tell me that this was a very reliable model and that he almost never gets calls on it. Good luck!

Firemonkey Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 What?? Why not spend that csh on a decent hood and exhaust, so you can put a KK in that opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 The hood and exhaust came after the stove. But sorry, man does not live by KK alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetzervalve Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Here are the photos I promised a few months ago.... Step one - a new deck to access the new back door. The subject kitchen. The place the new kitchen will be located. Wall to be removed. Old kitchen through door to the left - new entry door where the window is at the back of the house. Windows out - new door in here. Plaster and lath out.... On the road home - new skylight and foam insulation. Drywall going in - the only remaining original kitchen - the fully functional range - sink and dishwasher! Oh yeah, I also installed some radiant tubing for the bathroom floor in the 1/2 story above. And dug out the "room" under the porch and poured a concrete floor with radiant tubing in it also.
