Questions About Kitchen Remodeling
How Can I Plan and Execute My Home Remodel?
I own a home that was built in the late 1800's, and I have started updating the bathroom and the kitchen. The bathroom is very small, about 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. I want to put an insert in the cast iron tub, but the corners are shaped like a stop sign which is making it difficult. I also need to install new tile on the floor, since I had to replace the old floor due to water damage. I need to replace and install a cabinet for the new sink. In the kitchen, I also need to update the flooring. The kitchen needs a new sub-floor and tiles. I would like to build and install new kitchen cabinets. The current kitchen was added on around 1950, as I update, I would still like to keep the period look of the home. As contractors, do you have any thoughts on how I might be able to plan and execute all of my home improvement projects on my own? I would like to try and save money by doing most the work by myself. Any help you can give me would be great!
Can Removing Old Lapboard Impact the Structural Integrity of My Home?
I am in the process of tearing out my kitchen for a remodel and I am concerned I might be ripping out essential components of the walls. I'm mostly worried about the ceiling. The portions I have torn out include layers of sheetrock, paneling, then 3/4" lapboard before you hit the blown-in insulation in the rafters. My plan was to gut everything from the kitchen, but now I'm worried that removing the lapboard might weaken the structural integrity of my house. Should I rip it out, or do I need to leave it in?

Visualizing Kitchen Remodeling for an Old House
It took us six years to save $35,000 for a kitchen remodeling in our 70-year-old home. I'm so afraid we'll spend the money and not get what we want. What do kitchen designers charge for consulting, and how can they show us what it will look like?
Kitchen Remodeling Traffic Problem in Oklahoma City
My kitchen is U-shaped, 14 x 14', with tons of counter space on three sides, but a poor work triangle. I walk around the built-in island constantly. I'd like to ditch the island, move the refrigerator across the room near the range, and put a broom closet where the 'frige is. I'd replace the vinyl flooring with tile, and put a round, 2-person bistro set in the middle. The range wall has no plumbing. With medium range choices, should my kitchen remodeling budget be $20,000, $30,000, or (hopefully not) more?

Does an electric wall oven require exterior venting?
Hello, I am wondering if an electric wall oven requires venting to the outside. I have a client that refuses to replace their current old ovens because the new ones don't have exterior ventilation, and I am trying to find information about whether this is really required or not. I assume it isn't since most new models don't have this feature, but I don't have any explanation as to why not!
What’s the most cost effective way to do a kitchen remodeling of just the lighting?

Resale Affect of Indianapolis, Indiana, Wine Closet Kitchen Remodel
We want to remove a 24" x 26" x 7' high pantry and replace it with a wine closet with open racks and a small wine refrigerator. There is adequate (not outstanding) kitchen storage for food, pots, pans, etc. without the pantry.

Do I need a wall or can the cabinets be attached to the ceiling?
I want to put a slide-in stove where there isn't a wall. I would also like cabinets on either side. The question is, do I need a wall or can the cabinets be attached to the ceiling and if so do they need to be supported underneath too? Or do I just need to put up a wall?
