The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) This morning I did my routine Sunday and came in the back door of my kitchen only to find my Pella door it is completely rotted out from moisture. This really set the wheels in motion forA complete overhaul of my home which I built 20 years ago. So I have decided to start the process of building a new kitchen cabinets and two bathroom vanities. I'm planning on retiring in five years and I surely don't want to do this when I'm retired. That is what my tractor collection is for. So today I decided to clean out the shop and put all my red parts and collection away for now and turn my shop back into a woodshop. I only hope this all doesnt take too long !!

It is amazing how much room a set of cabinets can take up while you are building them. As you go along please remember, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,582 #7 Posted December 9, 2019 do you have a standing water issue close to the structure? adding a water drainage set up at the base of doors , or diversion helped me with a similar problem. your shop looks like a nice set up , maybe a culvert stone drainage set up will help out. look up what others have done in similar areas, good luck , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #8 Posted December 9, 2019 Ya the back door was an issue over looked by the contractor 20 years ago. There was alot off water water from the heavy turd sinker rains we would sometimes get. Have since fixed the issue but a bit too late. Im going to contact pella today and see what l can do to replace it. I will probably keep the door and repair it somewhere done line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rot is on the bottom or the rail of the door. I'm just going to see if I can get another slab door I just spoke with Pella And they might be able to help me on the Warranty . 🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #11 Posted December 9, 2019 when we moved to our new house I had to do the same packed up all the fun tractor projects and toys for a year or so. redoing the house was fun and learned a lot along the way. I am cheap so I did most of it myself. I would much rather stick metal together than hang drywall. hey maybe you can use these things whatever they are? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #12 Posted December 10, 2019 That looks like an art project to me. I've had my share of cabinet building and installation so that won't be a problem. The hardest part will be looking at parts of my tractor collection and not being able to do anything with it . This will take sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're anything like me, you'll be easily distracted and give into the temptation of working on your tractors! Is the island existing? If it isn't and you plan on adding electrical to it, I can give you some pointers to save you some $$$ from using an electrician if you aren't familiar!

I'm planning on building an island in the center of the kitchen. I'm going to turn to spindles 4 in.² and split them in two and use them at all four corners. I have had my share of electrical and plumbing over the years so that should not be a big problem . As for my herd it will be a challenge but this is something I have to do.

As for your herd, you'll have to defect once in a while to keep your sanity! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
