kitchen remodel, no matter of scale or scope. Since the example is taken from California, some of the suggestions are probably the most applicable for readers in North America or Mexico, but the bulk of them may apply to many other countries as well. </p><p>This book is a guide to kitchen remodel projects which include: </p> <ul><li>changes of floor plan and of electrical and water installations</li> <li>choice of appliances and of cabinets</li> <li>kitchen design</li> <li>kitchen installation (DIY)</li> <li>kitchen lighting</li> <li>tile work</li></ul> <p>Since I cannot cover those topics to the degree of a regular handbook, I am telling specifically the story of my own recent kitchen remodel, into which I put a lot of thought and research. The sheer amount of information that I had gathered throughout this process was so large that it would have been a pity not to write it down in order to make it accessible for others. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="About_the_author">About the author</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_Remodel&veaction=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: About the author" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_Remodel&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section's source code: About the author"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>I'd like to point out that I am <i>not</i> an architect or kitchen designer, only a somehow resourceful and keenly interested amateur who went through the process of a kitchen remodel twice in only a few years. The first time, I relied on the work of a professional kitchen designer. The result was that I liked the outcome, but over time I figured that I could have done much, much better if I had been more involved in the creative process. Luckily, I got a second chance when we moved into a new home and decided to have a kitchen remodel once more. </p><p>As I am not a native speaker of English, my writing is probably satiated with spelling errors and awkward phrasing. Everyone is welcome to help me out there. </p></div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?useformat=desktop&type=1x1&usesul3=0" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_Remodel&oldid=4377008">https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_Remodel&oldid=4377008</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Book:Kitchen_Remodel" title="Category:Book:Kitchen Remodel">Book:Kitchen Remodel</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Shelf:Maintenance_and_repair" title="Category:Shelf:Maintenance and repair">Shelf:Maintenance and repair</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden categories: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Subject:Maintenance_and_repair" title="Category:Subject:Maintenance and repair">Subject:Maintenance and repair</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Subject:Maintenance_and_repair/all_books" title="Category:Subject:Maintenance and repair/all books">Subject:Maintenance and repair/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Subject:Miscellaneous/all_books" title="Category:Subject:Miscellaneous/all books">Subject:Miscellaneous/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Subject:Books_by_subject/all_books" title="Category:Subject:Books by subject/all books">Subject:Books by subject/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Book:Wikibooks_Stacks/Books" title="Category:Book:Wikibooks Stacks/Books">Book:Wikibooks Stacks/Books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Shelf:Maintenance_and_repair/all_books" title="Category:Shelf:Maintenance and repair/all books">Shelf:Maintenance and repair/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Department:Miscellaneous/all_books" title="Category:Department:Miscellaneous/all books">Department:Miscellaneous/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Alphabetical/K" title="Category:Alphabetical/K">Alphabetical/K</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Completed_books" title="Category:Completed books">Completed books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Books_by_completion_status/all_books" title="Category:Books by completion status/all books">Books by completion status/all books</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Intermediate_reading_level" title="Category:Intermediate reading level">Intermediate reading level</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 5 March 2024, at 20:52.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>; additional terms may apply.
