Kichen Remodel Update vol.10-Kitchen Shopping-

This is all of our new kitchen from IKEA.  It's pretty impressive how they pack up everything in flat boxes.  We shopped several kitchen resellers.  We always believed in solid wooden kitchen cabinets, but we found that IKEA has the best kitchen system as well as price.
これがシステムキッチンの全て。こんなに上手に箱に詰めるIKEAってすごい。キッチンは、他でもいろいろ見て回ったんだけど、全てが木でできているからってすばらしい訳でもないし、結局IKEAのキッチンで質も値段も納得。
 

For the countertop, we wanted Numerar, which is 1" thicker, but they were out of it at every store in the US., and they said it won't be available for months.  Lagan is only $39 per sheet, and it's not too bad once it's installed. The only problem is that the longest sheet is 96", and we needed longer.  So, Ryan's craftsmanship came along to put them together without any gap.

カウンタートップは木。ブナの木。本当は分厚い方が欲しかったんだけど、国内全店で品切れでいつ入荷されるのかも分からないという事で少し薄いけど3cm弱の物を購入。唯一の問題は、一番長いもので246cmなので継ぎ足すのが大変みたいでした。まず、両方の端を完璧にまっすぐ切って、ぴったり合うまでやすりをかけて、下から補強しながら合体して、最後にまたやすりで完璧に仕上げます。
For the backsplash, cement boards were screwed on for tiling.
タイルを張るために、セメントボードを取り付けます。
Our kids have been nesting in this particular cabinet ever since it was installed. 
私たちは必死に作業していますが、子供達はそれなりに楽しんでいます。新しい隠れ家。
