Perhaps a well-to-do amateur who spent his money on tools instead of beanie babies?

Love the minimalistic look, especially the headboard & footboard; I hate cleaning those bunk bed with built in shelves - I can't seem to keep the dust off it.PCShutters wrote: ↑

Thanks. That is what I was going for but unfortunately I again have to do exactly just that because the ladder is not very functional.

Thanks but I am just your average joe DIYer with access to some better than average tools.

Yes that is one of my better use of time and effort. It not only help me visualize my kitchen better but it also act as a “map” for my kitchen build because there are so many components. It is easy to forget or misplace a workpiece.

Thanks. I build window shutters for a living.

You are NOT an average DIYer! Looking at some of the stuff you've done in this thread is scaring the crap out of me, especially the plumbing stuff. I DIY'ed my own basement and did everything EXCEPT plumbing because I had my own nightmare story that will have to wait for another day to tell.PCShutters wrote: ↑ Thanks but I am just your average joe DIYer with access to some better than average tools.

TBH some of the plumbing isn’t done to code, what is shown least. Can’t speak for what isn’t shown, but based on descriptions, it may not be eitherexrcoupe wrote: ↑ You are NOT an average DIYer!

Are you living in the house while you're doing all of this?

This is my experience replacing an existing countertop with double lip, though it may not be relevant because you are redoing the cabinets, it may give you something to think about.PCShutters wrote: ↑ I need help: I am about to build the base cabinet but can’t decide on which thickness will look better and since the final height of my counter must be 36”, I can’t move forward with my build without making up my mind.
I am pretty sure I want quart for my kitchen but can’t decide between the 2cm quart with the double up around the lip or 3cm without the lip. Please help me make up my mind. The price difference is not that much ($3,850 vs 4,850)
Also, what do you think of this colour on top of walnut or darker bamboo base cabinets?

I prefer the thicker 4cm lip too but how it is achieved is based on manufacturer. The company that I visited for Canadian Hanstone meters the lip while the company I look at for Chinese MSI doubles it.Jon Lai wrote: ↑ This is my experience replacing an existing countertop with double lip, though it may not be relevant because you are redoing the cabinets, it may give you something to think about.
I also picked a white-ish quartz for my countertop. There are areas where I can see the seam if I look closely, but in general it looks fine (they doubled up, instead of mitering it - does anyone mitre the lip or did I get screwed?) What bothers me still is that some of my doors/drawers scratch the bottom of the countertop lip every so slightly such that it doesn't close unless I push it to close. However, when comparing to the look of 3cm without lip that some of my friends have, I do prefer the thicker 4cm look. Another reason I'm glad I went with the lip is the sink. We went with deep 10" undermount sink with a 3" high bucket at the bottom for collecting waste, and we barely had enough vertical drop for proper drainage as it was. The additional 1cm would have made it worse.
