430navaroplace117's Issues

Kitchen gas line placement

The gas hookup needs to be relocated to accomadate the stove

Choose kitchen faucet

Maybe one of the sensor/touch based faucets

Bathroom wall mirrors

Select a cooktop

30", Gas, sealed burners, 4 or 5 burners
Ideally, controls should be in the front/middle

Select a kitchen range

The cooktop+oven isn't going to work due to cost and space constraints. So fallback to either a freestanding range, or a drop-in/slide-in range.

Cabinetry

Color? Style? Vendor?

Pantry cabinet and shelves

Select shower fixtures

Shower head, knobs

Install upstairs cabinet door

The door is here and sitting on the floor by the cabinets

Tile or hardwood floor in the kitchen?

Ceramic tiles in the kitchen look nice, but are easily damaged, and the grout lines require periodic maintenance. Hardwood would be cheaper and more durable, but may not look as nice.

If I go with hardwood, I'll change the layout direction to create a visual boundary between the kitchen the the rest of the area.

Switching between glossy and hand-scrapped in the two areas is also something to consider.

Choose a kitchen sink

Stainless steel.
Double or single?

Choose bathroom sink fixtures

Verify the shower enclosure design

I have no idea what the design is

Install the microwave

Select an oven

Can a regular wall oven be mounted underneath a cooktop? Or does it need to be somewhere else?

So far I'm not seeing any wall-ovens that are both gas and the right height. It looks like the necessary form factor may only come in electric.

Confirm the countertop material type

I should be engineered quartz. Or at least, not a natural stone. I forgot to ask Cici about it when I was there, but it looked synthetic.

Small cabinet door to the right of the trash drawer is loose

Loose like the hinge has a stripped screw head

Finishing work on the kitchen kneewall

Verify positioning of kitchen electrical and plumbing

The kitchen renderings show that the stove, fridge, etc have been moved.

One of the under-cabinet light wires will be behind the new microwave location

The electrical outlet for the fridge is outside of the new fridge footprint

The valve for the refrigerator water hookup also needs to be moved.

Hardwood flooring

Pick the flooring that will be used everywhere that isn't tile.

Laminate is cheapest, but looks and feels cheapest.
Hardwood is best, but too expensive for the budget.
Engineered hardwood is a good middle ground.

Choose style, color, brand, etc.

Hallway closet shelves

One or two shelves on the right hand side with enough vertical clearance for brooms, etc

Bathroom vanity lights

2nd bathroom grout

Holes in the grout in the bottom left corner of the wall pocket

Kitchen countertop thickness

Make sure we're getting 3cm and not 2cm

Select a microwave

Over the stove?

Choose a baseboard

Something simple and not terribly pronounced

Kitchen backsplash

Probably tile with some sort of pattern.

A natural, rough-stone, look might also work.

Kitchen countertop color

Pick a color for the kitchen countertops

Bathroom accent tiles

Accent tiles for the showers and floors?

Kitchen cabinet design

This is an extension of #8

• Explore options for a cabinet to the right of the fridge
• Explore using a face for the sink base instead of a standard sink base unit (to get more storage under the sink)

White or stained stair risers?

The stair risers can be either painted white, or the same stain as everything else.

Shower wall tile/surface

Figure out what to put on the walls around the master bathroom showers

Select bathroom sinks

Under-mount or molded?

Master bathroom walk-in closet flooring

Continue the bathroom tile, or use hardwood?

Tile in the closet might be a bit odd, but it would flow from the rest of the bathroom and would eliminate a transition.

Wood is cheaper and wouldn't be cold on the feet.

Definitely not carpet.

Select a dishwasher

Top-control, all stainless

Select a refrigerator

Choose cabinet pulls

Upstairs cabinet drawer needs to be replaced

There are errant screw holes from a bad install of the pulls. Payman knows about it and will be replacing the drawer.

Overlapped or flush floor registers?

The floor registers in the hardwood section can be either the normal overlapped style, or the flush mount style. Seb isn't sure if the floor is thick enough to support the flush variety, but he will check.

Under cabinet lights

Master bathroom tile floor grout

The grout has chipped out near the closet door

Master bedroom closet shelves

Shower pans

Figure out what to use for the shower pans.

Tile is easiest and probably cheapest, but quartz would be far more durable.

Pick new toilets

Install ceiling fans

Bathroom floor tile

Choose it for all 3 bathrooms. A lighter color to contrast with the hardwood floors and coordinate with the bathroom counters.

Use some sort of border pattern?

Make sure the kitchen cabinet design has a trash drawer

Install remaining kitchen shelves (including pantry shelf)

Garbage disposal
