How I Spent My Summer Vaction, By the_Bird

That's why they make mud and baseboard!

My floors were so far out of level, it was ridiculous. I probably could/should have used some of that self-leveling stuff, but it was going to be tough with the transition to the hardwood floor in the dining room section.

Your project reminded me of something that happened a couple of years ago. I have a good friend (male) that is a real handy man type. He lives a couple of hours from me, though, so he only helps when he's able to devote an entire day or weekend. When I was single, he helped me install a dishwasher in my previous house, replace baseboard, etc.

I decided that I was going to replace the kitchen cabinets. It was a galley kitchen, and I found the cabinets dirt cheap. When I asked him if he could spend a weekend hanging cabinets, his reply was "Cabinets are a PITA. I'm NOT installing cabinets for someone I'm not ****ing".

Anyway, so I know now how much work a new kitchen can be!

Don't go there, Paul. Don't do it!!!! Walk away! Turn around and walk away. Right now!
