Yes. The floor covering goes down before the cabinets. I just ran into a situation where the cabinets with a under the counter dish washer was in stalled then the floor covering was installed up to the cabinets. It was a real task to remove the dish washer for servicing because it was lower than the floor covering! ----- Original Message ----- From: Betsy Whitney To: blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 5:25 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] The kitchen remodel drama is starting
Aloha everyone, It's time to replace the counters in our kitchen and we have been advised that since our cabinets are 30 years old and were not the best quality to begin with, that we really need to replace the cabinets also. We were planning to install vinyl in the kitchen to match the vinyl that we put in the entry way and in part of my office, but now they are suggesting that since we are going to replace the cabinets, that we should wait until the cabinets have been removed, then install the vinyl and then put the cabinets on top of the vinyl. Is that usual? I am wanting thoughts and ideas about this project. Do any of you have items in your kitchens that you really like or dislike? I was looking at some lazy-susan units that look like they would be very helpful, but I just don't know how well they hold up and if they are truly sturdy. Besides suggesting that I move out until the job is done, I welcome any and all suggestions. Perhaps I can get my husband to take a vacation while the work is being done. That would really be of great help,...grin. Thanks, Betsy [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
