    Not to be a negative Ned, but I don't know about that stove being on that outside corner wall. I can see a hot flame and a pot putting too much heat on that wooden wall. I just don't know if it should have been more towards the middle

      Also elbows hitting the wall, at least put a cabinet to the left of the stove, get it off the wall.

      Mine is set up the very same way and I love it and no troubles, ❤❤

    • @leehyer4916
      @leehyer4916 2 дня назад +2

      What they need to do is put something fireproof on the wall next to the burners and it would be safe😊

    • @QuietCottage
      @QuietCottage 2 дня назад +1

      I would not use a stove/oven placed next to a wall or other appliance. I preferred the original layout of the cabinets. I do not think it is safe and I feel having cabinet & counter space next to the cooking surface is essential.

    • @katrinagauld7340
      @katrinagauld7340 День назад +1

      I agree om a kitchen designer the other layout was nicer. The gas stove against the wall is a safety hazard.

    At the 14 min 50 seconds point I laughed out loud because every single time I'm catcher for my husband's cuts he gives me the same little pep talk you gave Jen.

    @michaelazzaro525 3 дня назад +4

    Completely laughed out loud when you two were goofing off trying to keep pressure on the countertop! That’s fantastic. If don’t do that kind of stuff when you’re doing home renovation projects…you and I probably aren’t friends!

    Loved your poses!😂 Seeing such a fun side of you guys seemed to make you more 'real' than just watching the daily grind of living off grid, which there's nothing wrong with that, I enjoy it! I'm just trying to say that you guys are too cute!!! 🥰

  • @MikeWilson-h2r
    @MikeWilson-h2r 3 дня назад +7

    Be careful with the front left burner in that stove if that's a vinyl window. It will warp or melt it. Also not sure that wood wall next to the burner is a good idea but it looks good

  • @BeverlyBendo-bc4gn
    @BeverlyBendo-bc4gn 3 дня назад +4

    think i like the stove in the other place there was a place on both sides to put things right off stove on the counter

  • @johnstadler5202
    @johnstadler5202 3 дня назад +3

    Highly suggest a side and backsplash around the stove !

  • @garysuderman174
    @garysuderman174 3 дня назад +2

    Jay, I recently unboxed my dual fuel generator and in the manual it stated to wrap the fuel fittings and anything Propane related fittings when storing because of spiders making nest and clogging them up. You might have had some of the gas leaking because of that and once it opened up the blockage, it caused more gas to ignite and making a flash of extra gas burning at once. Same goes for outdoor gas grills. You have an compressor, so it might be wise to blow off all those cob webs after sitting in the garage/shed a while.

    @yvonnelucas-cessna4458 День назад

    I wanted to let you know something. I was watching this video where a man who built his cabin used his side-by-side to put his tall ladder in so he could do the roof. He said it wouldn't go anywhere especially when he also tied it down. I thought you might like to know that in case you were to build another building some day. I love the kitchen!!!

  • @MaryMlynarski
    @MaryMlynarski 3 дня назад +7

    A little concerned about the stove in the corner. How are you going to get a pan with a handle on the left side burner? Isn't it going to hit the wall?

    • @OffgridwithJayandJen
      @OffgridwithJayandJen  22 часа назад

      This is primarily going to be for baking not cooking on stove top

    @russellwatters5891 3 дня назад +1

    The kitchette looks great! I like the contrasting countertop with the cabinets and walls. Amazon has several RV sinks advertised, fold down faucets and covers. I bought 2 for my "under construction" cabins, they were $120 each. Really nice additions to the cabin! Love what ya'll are doing 😊

  • @ccrawley4905

    Lowe's often has countertops greatly reduced, however, what you got works well. Live edge natural sawmilled epoxied countertops are beautiful if I stated it correctly. I have seen some in home built campers and log cabins and they were amazing if you ever get tired of what you have and have time to make them.

    Some walnut nobes for the pull out drawers... and trim around windows so its cowardanated in the look. I don't think I would stain too dark on the walls and cabinets as its going to look fine.... practice out in the parking area to see what looks good for off setting color matches... floor should be fairly light to keep the dirt from spoiling view.... happy new year kids

    Love the dark color of the counter top! Its a great contrast. Did you get the end cap kit pieces for the counter that you iron on the ends? You just don't want the ends to get wet, as it is that particle board material and it will swell up if it gets wet. The end especially next to the stove I would do for sure. The other end you might run a bead of clear silicone caulk just to be on the safe side. Little cabin is looking awesome 😊
