amazing quality of work !!! thank you 👍
Sand it straight away? While the filler is still wet?
Great video...
Thank you for the helpful content. What rail installation would you recommend for hanging three 30” width wall cabinets? I have one 84” full rail and a left over 12” rail piece. Would you recommend trying to combine these pieces after cutting 6” off the 84” piece? Or buy another full 84” rail and cut a 60” and 30” piece from the two full size rails?
I would recommend splitting it evenly if you can but as long as your 12”piece is anchored at each side sufficiently you would really be alright. The More anchors/stud mounting points the better Good luck !
Amazon Link to the padding used in this video please
Quick question Ikea cabinets are 6 inches shorter than American base cabinets. Way to short! How is this?
They should all Be standard North American counter top height… maybe you’re not accounting for the legs?
@@DIYDudes No I wasn't, and no one wants to lay on their belly to dig out dust bunnies either! I guess I'll make a base to raise them.
When you hammer the planks in to get the joint tighter, what is stopping the whole floor from shifting, since you want to maintain the expansion gap along the wall?
not a good job , you need to use rigid pipe and your supposed to insulate it and use sheet metal tape
Can this be done with the vent that is one that throws the exhaust back out to the kitchen.
Those units typically don’t require any duct work. There’s just a little vent on top. Good luck!
That's not a large gap
an inspector will have a field day if they saw this
Too complicated!
Thank you we are going to try doing ours but ours is concrete so are there any special tools that we would use
Have you found that this type of seamless installation will cause buckling? My LVP floating floors which were installed seamless just a few months ago have buckled in several areas and the store i got it from said that transition strips need to be placed when going from 1 room to the next.
no offence but you shouild have had your base smaller than the boards to hide the concrete footings!
great video, thanks!
Amazing Thanks so much! Which trims did u use? Super beautiful i want the same ones
I have a bench project coming up, and your video is exactly what I needed to get creative with it. Thank you for sharing your skills The bench looks amazing!
If floor isnt level should i try measuring from ceiling to get proper measurement for the rails
You could. Just make sure you have enough room below your counter line for your cabinets afterwards…. You still want to maintain that minimum height off the flier though for the height of the work top
Why no underlayment? No self-leveling? No tile prep at all?
Underlayment is built into the tiles, no set leveling or tile prep required, thanks for watching!
How long is the nail?
I used a 10” spike. Thanks for watching!
Why did you decide to use custom base instead of the rail and legs?
I had a basement sump pump under the cabinet that required some custom modifications for the cabinet. Thanks for watching!
Did seemless on both a 3000 sq ft and a 1280 sq. Ft homes. Really isnt to hard. Laying backwards can be a little tougher depending on the type and mm thickness of the flooring. Spacers are a must. 2 people makes it so much better. Always have extra flooring, sometimes tolerances can be off in the manufacturing, and simply swapping out a piece fixes the issue. No matter how maticulous you are, you are going to have some places that the seems arent 100% perfect. They can be locked in but still be a hair seperated. Sometimes fixing one seem can unknowingly open another slightly. The goal is making sure your pieces are locked so they dont seperate later, so some hairline cracks at joints are not the end of the world. The thicker the vinyl, the easier it is to get properly locked in. Do not use that crappy multi tool he uses, use a good utility knife with lots of extra blades.
I love you
lol thank you!
Great video, but everything I hear says no soft/flex vent tube.
Great Video
Thanks for watching and good luck with your diy!
I am curious, is this tile you installed “luxury vinyl flooring” with a thickness of 6mm? I am considering using the same method in my small business. I found a beautiful product Lowe’s that I would love to use. I also noticed you didn’t fill in any grout lines in the existing ceramic tile. Is it because of the thickness of the vinyl flooring? Thank you
Won’t it move around if you drive on it? No cement needed?
No as long as you have a solid granular base it won’t go any where. Thanks for watching!
I've installed four IKEA kitchens and still learned several important things from this video! Well done.
Thank you!
Premium WHAT underpad?
It’s an EVA foam under pad. Thank you!
Pretty good vid. Just one tip. Install the legs before you hang the bottom cabinets.
Thank you! I do partially agree but I hate installing them before and they tend to fall off, I have tried the screw trick as well thanks for watching
Gorgeous. Ty
Thanks for watching!
How would you fix chipped paint coming off siding of bottom window panel?
Same procedure you can wood fill the hole, sand it flat than paint it
Can you use on bathroom or kitchen cabinets?
You could yes you would have trouble matching the cabinet colour/finish though unless you painted the whole thing
Your DIY videos are fantastic! However, our tastes are VERY different. For instance, I prefer homes with a single floor, straight lines on flat surfaces like ceilings and natural stone kitchen countertops.
Thanks for watching. I actually love natural stone as well, I just refinished the counter tops that were there when I purchased the home. One day I’ll redo the kitchen and get my dream counter top though thank again!
This video has been SO helpful to us newbie DIYers! Quick question: we’re getting ready to cut our cover panels with a circular saw-what blade do u suggest? Yours went through like butter ;)
Thank you! I used a fine cut blade on my skill saw, basically a saw blade with a lot of little teeth. Good luck!
No vapor barrier,the flooring already has a backing.
What color gray paint did you use?
I feel like I did all the steps and my LVP still buckles in between boards. I think I'm done with DYI projects
Perfect Video, I definitely can do this with confidence!
What height is the top of shelving? I have 8’ walls & 30” tall shelving. U suggest pushing it tight to ceiling or bringing it down some, how much down?
I would try and keep your back splash height at 18” and leave a gap at the top. If you do any more your cabinets will be to hard to access. Good luck!
Great video! But I believe that range hood is rated for 6" duct work. You also can tell by the scored cut circle on the top of the hood. That might be the reason for the first hood broke so earily, worked to hard. To much exhaust though 4" duct and vent. Other issues some others have already noted no sense in rehashing, some good take aways and great DIY video project!! Maybe this would be a good opportunity for an update and things learned video!! Keep up the good work!!! Thanks for your feedback in advance!!
Thank you dude for your video! Great job! The world needs more ppl like you👍
Thank you!🙏
Can you guys come and do mine please such a professional job. ( I live in the UK ) 😂
Sorry the travel pay would be a fortune! Good luck 🤞
Please, please, next time you make a video: use a close-mike. Your voice sounds hollow in the room now...... 😞 You are too far away from the mike.
Thanks for the advice. We are looking into it. Thank you
@@DIYDudes you are welcome.
No joist hangers or Joist tape ? I guess if you skip a lot of steps you can get it done in a day…
What did people do before joist tape
this is WHY i don't want to install ikea cabinets lol
It’s easier than it looks !
