I bought this as a gift for my friend kzfaq.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

This video is a must-watch for anyone into house transformations. The year-long journey is so satisfying, and the remodel proves that with time and effort, any house can become a dream home. It's like a renovation adventure unfolding right before your eyes.

Another plus of building yourself is to overcome the big snafu of a refrigerator that doesn't do the job; buying the up to date refrigerator first and then fitting the kitchen around it works best!

@yolandapagan5656 5 ай бұрын

Try buying a new refrigerator for a space around which an old refrigerator was built. We did and spent a whole vacation day going to all the big retailers until we found an angel at Home Depot who was willing to search online with us until we found 2. Refrigerator design and dimensions seem to be something that changes.

It makes me so happy that you didn't just trash the kitchen and put all new cabinets in and that you made the hutch into a kitchen cabinet. It really bugs me when people on HGTV shows smash all of the cabinets and bathrooms to add drama instead of mindfully rehabbing and reusing things that are already in the house.

@tedsteiner 6 ай бұрын

Because we have a gigantic domestic logging industry with plentiful renewable forests, mostly concentrated in the PNW and south. Wood is cheaper/quicker to build with than masonry. You'll still find houses with brick facades in colder regions, but wood is king in North America, and for good reason.
