Because it's such a tight space and you probably don't want to remove any more drywall than needed, what about one of those oscillating tools? I've never used one on PVC, but they will cut through wood. Any kind of saw is out because of the lack of room between the pipe and out side wall.

a very humid house + cold windows means your windows will be completely soaked and dripping all the time. or if it gets down to -25 to -40 the ice will freeze into the base of the windows and cause damage. especially if your windows are old. it wrecks shitty windows and wrecks paint and drywall. ask me how i know. that’s a tenant damage deposit i’ll never get back.

The people that are complaining about the moisture must live in a humid environment. Living in dry state, humidity levels can end up around 20-30% through winter.

Caulk, caulk, caulk for a seamless look, also at base of cabinet all around. I would have painted it a different color; I am not sure what color your walls are, but greens work very well in kitchens, like a pale olive green. Different knobs would have taken it up a notch. We are going to be painting our kitchen cabinets Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore after the weather cools off in FL and we got beautiful square Craftsman style knobs to upgrade from the plain round brushed nickel knobs. I feel that hand-done washes on walls or cabinets look very handmade and not classy. And a note to everyone: GRAY of any kind is now OUT. It has been wayyyy overdone for at least ten years. It is depressing and clinical in feel. STOP USING IT!! Go with brown tones like taupe or beige or cream. Lots of recently built homes still have gray walls or cabinets and it is SO annoying to go into an otherwise lovely home and see all that gray. First thing we'd have to do is paint the entire interior of the house. And those rectangular tile floors in streaky dark brown-gray that are supposed to look like wood are super UGLY! Use actual wood that looks like wood or tile that looks like tile. Be true to your materials.
@6thGearHouse
@6thGearHouse 10 месяцев назад
I didn't caulk because my wife wanted the old farmhouse look. Once this gets old and she's bored w/ it, I'll be refinishing it again. Sorry you don't like the brown laminate wood floor, it's what we could afford after buying the house. I agree real wood is nice, but expensive. I think the floors look good enough. We painted the walls grey in 2017 when we moved in, but aren't trendy enough (and don't have the time) to repaint the house every few years as styles change. Notice how the rest of the cabinets in the kitchen are still light oak from 20 years ago... They'll probably stay that way until we win the lottery and buy new cabinets ;)

@6thGearHouse
@6thGearHouse 11 месяцев назад
The battery life went downhill. Apple acknowledged the battery issue after updating and offered a battery replacement for only $29, which I did in late 2018. That battery was good for a while, but after a year, I was having to charge the phone multiple times throughout the day, especially in colder weather. Finally the charging port was worn out from plugging the phone in so many times to charge it, and the plug was too loose and the phone wouldn't charge. I gave up and bought a 14 pro at the start of 2023. I did replace the port and battery on my 6s after I activated the 14, and the 6s is a great backup camera/music player now.
