though I just gave a fresh facelift with paint..we decided to once and for all make the kitchen a functioning kitchen...step one is building a 8 foot pantry...once this is finished it will have 2 barndoors on a 8' bypass hardware track...
step 1-moving electrical and framing
moving out some glass 1990's decor glass panes,on both sides of this wall those ugly windows were hidden....the kitchen side will now have the pantry,the livingroom side will have the entire wall clad in reclaimed lumber
next moving electrical from bottom to above the pantry
make sure electricity is off
we trimmed the electric line some and attached an new box above and then connected wires...now the start of the framing....
more framing images...it will be 24" wide X 8' long...when putting in a header...do not short your project ..the support beam will carry weight,the header rests upon a solid board,not notched out boards....
one of the features I want is reclaimed lumber above the ledge
area all done with reclaimed lumber above the pantry area
additional supports inside the pantry then OSB and sheetrock..this is the top ledge....
Next week..sheetrock entire pantry
