While the blue and yellow aren't my style, that panel on the back of the island looks absolutely amazing with the flooring and counter tops. Perfect 5/7.
Happy to see that the countetops finally came!!! The island really looks HUGE now that its all buttoned up! Everything is looking great and can't wait to see the backsplash go up
Fun FYI: that outlet on the island is actually required by code! When we bought our house, it was something I asked for but the seller didn’t want to put in and our agent discovered it was actually required by code. Apparently fires caused by people knocking over small appliances by tripping over a cord running from an island were so common, it’s part of code to have a electrical outlet built in. Or atleast that’s what I was told.
@@horatioswrld Yes, but those standards would be adopted and modified at the state and local level. There’s a reason building permits and building inspections are done at the most-local geography (town, city, or county). They take into account the rules from all the levels.
@@j10001 Having learned a lot more than I ever planned to about building codes (a major latent defect in your house will do that), it seems that most jurisdictions will just use the NEC (National Electrical Code, developed and published by the National Fire Protection Association) straight up, although the version of the code (typically revised every three years) may vary as it may take several years for a new version of the code to be adopted after it is published. Some jurisdictions may also modify the code in places, or could even replace it with their own code entirely, but those things seem to be rare. Internationally, many countries have their own codes, and the EU has a standardized code as well that many member nations use. When it comes to plumbing it's a little more confusing as there are two major standards (International Plumbing Code and Universal Plumbing Code) but in the parts I've read it seems that the differences between them tend to be minor, and the majority of the requirements are identical.

I literally cheered out loud when you announced the countertops had arrived. I'm sure you're more than happy to put this one to bed. The cedar panel looks great and is a nice and interesting finish for the back side of the island. Fun fact: I was installing four of these exact same power modules in tables in one of our collaboration spaces at work today. Thanks for sharing!
Aside from the blue and yellow it looks great. I don't get that color choice though. BUT not my kitchen. Quality of your work is top notch. Love the videos.
I understand your frustrations with the countertops. We recently ordered countertops from a big blue home improvement store. Their 10 day guarantee turned into 3.5 months.
Awesome and cheap solution! love it. Looks great. Easily repaired and removeable for access with wood from any hardware store. Does look high end with the waterfall on the island.
wow! love the colours! the wood detail behind the island looks great. even though not building my own kitchen i can totally use that method on a project i've been trying to think of a solution for, for ages, so thank you for the inspiration 👍
Achievement Unlocked: Countertops! Your kitchen is gorgeous and getting better all the time. The colors, textures, choices of materials -- it's been really fun to watch, so thank you for sharing.
Very nice. Love that countertop, good choice! When I redid our kitchen last year we added a large island and I put cabinets on both front and back for the extra storage. any regrets on not doing that. Or maybe you didn't have the space on the backside. Either way. Love it.
Can't wait for the backsplash video. My dad and I did a backsplash for our kitchen a few years back, and I want to see if you'll have as much trouble as us! We chose one of randomized pieces of tile, metal, and glass. We had to use three different tools to cut it. It was... Tough.
Love the color choices. From the cabinet faces to the appliances. If I had kitchen that size, I'd def do an under cabinet beverage fridge to free up space from the main fridge.
Yay for countertops! It's probably good that you waited for the proper ones. I made temporary countertops from particle board for our kitchen renovation, and they stayed on for almost a year...
Love the Kitchen Bob! We recently got our Kitchen build by a carpenter here in Germany and the results are very similar in design and quality. You really did a bang up job, about the countertops: did you have the option for ceramic countertops? We had a mason build countertops from ceramic in a "mitered box" style with a steel frame inside, looks just like a big slap from the outside. We did this because we learned that the quartz composite tends to be damaged by the heat of hot pots. Downside from ceramic is that it might chip easier, at any rate choosing a countertop is always hard :)
Greatness takes time. It turned out very well. Very nice job. Great video series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
"temporary" be honest with yourself, bob.. also, you are NEVER going to pull off that panel to replace one board.. but at the same time i don't think you'll ever need to, i doubt even children could damage one enough to warrant replacement
@@godfirnon ain't that the truth. I still haven't gotten to fully sealing the gap between my built-in closet and the wall. Just stuffed in some newspaper to seal it and fit a piece of wood to cover the slit.
Bob can you share your process of why you chose the counter surface and color, there's so many to consider and I'm curious how you arrived at your final decision.

Agreed
Thanks for the review, Brendan.
5/7...i get that reference!!!
isn't the yellow a film over the stainless steel?
@@ilseizi no it’s the actual color!

Every county in every state has different codes. So where you live it’s required but bob may not be required to have one.
@@j0nnyh34t7 aren’t some things nationwide standards?

@@thesledgehammerblog Well said! Thanks.
Love the bright colors.
Everything looks awesome..
That cedar paneling look's way better than i expected it to. Wow!
I'm looking forward to the video doing the backsplash. We're going to renovate our kitchen and I've been looking at the best way to do that part.
Such a happy kitchen!
OMG the blue cupboards and the yellow oven! So pretty.
That looks beautiful. Kudos to the designer and a pat on the back to the builder.

I really like the yellow stove and blue drawers!
Fantastic looking kitchen island !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compliments the floor beautifully!
Love the pops of color with all of that white!
Beautiful island!
Cedar’s such a good accent wood against those solid colors. Great eye as always!
Woohoo! Finally finished nice.
Love the new transition!

Finally! Happy for you guys!
Omg finally! Very cool

Congrats! That island looks amazing. I'm liking the boldness of the blue too.
Same, love that blue..
This is definitely a dream kitchen for many people. Full of envy, but so happy for you, stay happy and stay safe.
It looks amazing!
Kitchen’s looking great. I especially like the different colors throughout!
Aside from the blue and yellow it looks great. I don't get that color choice though. BUT not my kitchen. Quality of your work is top notch. Love the videos.
Love all the colors you did in the kitchen!
Looks amazing!!
You can be very proud of yourself! In the end you built your family a kitchen, for many of us the center of life.
Yes! Thank you!
Beautiful!
Yay!!! MOTU transition lives on!!!
great job love the bloopers
Everything looks great! I think I would of painted the plywood sheet black before putting the cedar strips on it but it looks awesome regardless
CONGRATS, it looks fabulous.
The transition at 6:20 was such a vibe, love that whoever made it :)
I understand your frustrations with the countertops. We recently ordered countertops from a big blue home improvement store. Their 10 day guarantee turned into 3.5 months.
It's not only countertops - I've been waiting for a garage door since June.
The latest estimate is that it might be ready at the end of August.
Wow, that slat wall turned out really well! Goes well with the kitchen design.
Wow beautyful congrats🎉
Looks amazing! I hope your family enjoys it for many years to come
Your kitchen is looking absolutely stunning
Hey Bob! I just started a project with slats. Using rough sawn oak (a ton of work). Hopefully it will end up looking as good as yours.
The design was MONEY!!!!! love it
Looks awesome man!
Finally! and the kitcen looks great, I like the way you combined the colors of the appliances and the cabinets!
Finally! So glad for all of you that the tops have arrived. It’s really tied the whole space together
Awesome and cheap solution! love it. Looks great. Easily repaired and removeable for access with wood from any hardware store. Does look high end with the waterfall on the island.
Love the panels. That transformer animation was awesome.
Looks great! My remodel has been done and countertops have been reschedule thrice but I know it will be worth the wait
Beautiful something no other kitchen has.
Yay!!! Congrats on the countertops!!!!
That kitchen looks amazing!
This looks amazing, wow
wow! love the colours! the wood detail behind the island looks great. even though not building my own kitchen i can totally use that method on a project i've been trying to think of a solution for, for ages, so thank you for the inspiration 👍
Nice.
Painting the plywood sheet black before mounting the strips would probably make the cedar pop even more :)
I'M SO HAPPY THE COUNTERS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK ALL OF US HAVE BEEN WAITING WITH YOU :-) CHEERS, BOB!
Man that kitchen is amazing!
Achievement Unlocked: Countertops!
Your kitchen is gorgeous and getting better all the time. The colors, textures, choices of materials -- it's been really fun to watch, so thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Turned out great, Bob!!
looks good.. gotta feel satisfying once you reach these final stages, after so much work..
They island looks fantastic! I love the blue, great contrast!
Very nice. Love that countertop, good choice! When I redid our kitchen last year we added a large island and I put cabinets on both front and back for the extra storage. any regrets on not doing that. Or maybe you didn't have the space on the backside. Either way. Love it.
ngl the transition at 3:34 pretty smooth... i love it
Love the Transformers transition!
Looks great! Super excited to see the backsplash
YAY for countertops! Congrats Bob and family!
Can't wait for the backsplash video. My dad and I did a backsplash for our kitchen a few years back, and I want to see if you'll have as much trouble as us!

WOW phenomenal work
Always check the floorprint before installing cabinets.
Finally countertops woot!
Woooo countertops! Kitchen looks awesome as it is, but a backsplash will make it pop even more.
The overhanging countertops look really good
Kitchen looks great!!!
Love the color choices. From the cabinet faces to the appliances. If I had kitchen that size, I'd def do an under cabinet beverage fridge to free up space from the main fridge.
Thanks!! There's one on the far end of the island (behind me in that shot) 👍🏼
this looks so luxurious
The kitchen is looking great !
That kitchen is really coming together. Looking great man!
Yay for countertops! It's probably good that you waited for the proper ones. I made temporary countertops from particle board for our kitchen renovation, and they stayed on for almost a year...
I love the back of the kitchen island. great idea.
LOVED the transformers reference / divider 😉😉😉😉😉
Teak oil is sooo so beautiful, we used it on our balcony furniture.
Awesome man! So excited for you guys to finish the kitchen.
That cedar looks great.
It's good that you were able to finish your kitchen remodeling...

Thanks! Good to see you here! I'm watching your Ghia videos very closely, thanks for sharing them!!
@@Iliketomakestuff I have some catching up to do! your logo is awesome and it looks great on the shirts. Lots more Ghia videos coming!
So stoked for this video to finally arrive, I'm sure it felt fantastic to finally get the countertops!!
Greatness takes time. It turned out very well. Very nice job. Great video series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks so much Jared!

Yeah, but if there is ever an issue with the dishwasher, its sure nice to be able to get behind it
@@kyleh3615 no dishwasher in the island, it's a stove and mini fridge
I don't know. Seems he already does a lot of stuff most people would never do, like DYI literally everything.

Really fantastic, Bob! 😃
The kitchen turned out amazing!

Looks amazing Bob.

Congrats on counters! Man this looks incredible so far. :D
