They're cherry with the Arlington finish on them by the court. Beautiful cabinetry. Very nice that's pretty big equipment -- dovetail drawers just artwork is really nice product OK now this is the part of the kitchen that's designed. To be either a secondary kitchen if you use this part of the house and in -- week. Or in this case it's going to be like butler's pantry right that's correct within uses about this painting with a freezer in the wine cooler a dishwasher and that's OK and what kind of countertops are going to he's going to be granite. Absolutely OK well this is beautiful stuff I notice they come through without the glass him. They don't ship the glass I can understand -- you know we just by the glass locally and install it ourselves right what does that security you don't have to worry about brake that's going here see what they're doing with the the rest of the now. This is. An end panel for where the refrigeration unit is going that's correct. And what are we doing here where we gluing at the last minute on the blowing up the biscuits. We'll put. Filler on the end of this refrigerator panel. And we'll install it standard vertical tacked in place the filler because we needed the extra height for this refrigeration equipment is a tall ceilings ten foot yeah we need a full eight foot height. -- Where that is talked. And then it going right up against those blocks. And you hold in place and don't just tack it and then from the outside. We can just. -- These north land refrigerator units I guess they're basically commercial equipment right that's correct. And I like the fact that its -- components is. It's of the power module yet. It just comes along you got in the commitments to the polls. So that the power module a compressor and everything are in this box you set it on top of these. The refrigerator freezer box but you can order these in any configuration you want right that's correct. They really will make them what you want them. Yeah configuration of the this one is two refrigerators and a freezer on the top left hand corner so that this will be a freezer shelves ice maker really really nice construction what I like about it is they get over two inches of rigid insulation in this whole box being written yet and when you've got that insulation you know that the the efficiency of the unit's going to be really high. This is also freezer storage refrigerator on this and this is refrigerator. And then this is all refrigerator on this side OK nice and simple you know but real real. Quality construction heavy duty. Brackets and standards and everything else that. So. -- you have to do service on this or if you you know. Twenty years down the line if something went wrong with the pressure to replace the opportunity and that's correct OK and it's it's it's -- and home. And of themselves. All right look Kevin this unit is strictly for wine storage and I heard that also cigar storage that's correct.

Loophole so this is just one of several north and units that are going in the butler's pantry right that's correct -- full size freezer and on the ice makers don't accomplish on dishwasher by whirlpool. And it's mine granite countertops and glass okay and we'll be done here let's go back and push that other unit in place. Now how do you cover up all the other problem the power module up there stiffness can. Thank you probably going to use this these pieces here Bob and -- stuff. We'll start of this panel that fits over the top. Hamilton here and I'll cover the power module. This panel allows the module to be removed afterwards for service okay inside that panel. Another decorative panel consisting of steel. But what about for the rest is there another wooden piece that group and we had a wooden filler that's there yet and I will be adding that tunnel along great let's talk about the rest of the kitchen because this is. The main operating kitchen that's where the pantry calling it where is the stove over there to get a stove in here 36 inch line with a when the professional hood over the top all right wall oven and the microwave OK wall oven microwave.

The open-plan family room of the Punta Gorda house overlooks the canal on one side and opens onto the living area and kitchen on the other. Cecile Hemphill of Oh Cecile in San Francisco shows Bob the cookware and accessories that now fill the cupboards. Starting with Chantal cookware in bright colors, a teapot with a whistle, a Lodge pre-seasoned cast iron skillet, and a Joyce Chen wok, Hemphill has completely outfitted the kitchen for cooking and entertaining. The drawers are filled with Oxo ergonomically designed cooking utensils. Ironwood Gourmet's Acacia wood cutting boards stand ready on the counters, as does bright-colored Chantal ceramic ware that goes from the freezer to the oven to the table. Bob also remarks on the Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator-freezer that measures and dispenses water. All of the appliances are from Whirlpool, including the dishwasher and front-loading washer and dryer. Bob and Hemphill remark on the overall design of the kitchen, the openess and the size of the elements, which are perfectly scaled and large enough for easy living and frequent entertaining.

Reviewing the Kitchen Appliances
Reviewing the Kitchen Appliances

Because this is an affordable house, most of the items in the kitchen were builder-supplied. The kitchen features oak cabinets and laminated countertops. With affordable homes, it's important to acquire appliances in the most efficient way. Big builders can buy everything wholesale but smaller builders often have to depend on the local mom-and-pop suppliers. BrandSource has an online network of 2,500 dealers who are locally owned but buy in bulk so the savings are passed on to the consumer. The main door of the refrigerator is at eye level and the freezer is a pull-out drawer down below. There are two separate compartments in the freezer so items do not get buried at the bottom. A dishwasher from Fisher-Paykel features two drawer modules instead of one so smaller loads can be run more regularly. The dishwasher is Energy Star rated and is extremely efficient. An electric range from GE completes the package.

A half bathroom and a laundry were also installed in the basement of the Melrose home. These systems were installed using a pump system because the room is below street level and needs to have wastewater pumped up to the sewer lines. A SwanStone Deep Laundry Sink was put in place with a Moen faucet. A Whirlpool front-loading washer and dryer set was also installed. In order to fit so much material in a limited space, the homeowners shopped for appliances using Brandsource.com, which gave the couple detailed information on different brands, including sizes and shapes. Brandsource carries information from over 2,500 retail outlets and features $10 billion in products. The appliances were installed by a local dealer. The washing machine is a Whirlpool Duet, which features extra-large capacity, is energy efficient, and has storage in the bottom. A large freezer from Amana was installed along with a refrigerator-freezer and a GE microwave. A GE wine cooler chills beverages in the other room. The TV is a 50-inch Samsung flat panel. A 42-inch plasma Samsung TV was also installed in the master bedroom. A smaller television set was installed in the children's room. A stainless-steel grill was put in the backyard.

Time for a New Fridge?
Time for a New Fridge?

Here's another great tip from BobVila.com. After years of leftover science experiments, Thanksgiving dinners and midnight snacks, he s probably served you well, but old Mr. Fridge is adding more to your electric bill than he s worth. Your refrigerator hogs more electricity than almost anything else in your house. If it s an older model, it s using twice as much as a new Energy Star certified model would to keep the same milk cold. A new fridge is a big purchase, and there will be a small fee to dispose of the old one. But some electrical utilities are actually giving rebates of $150 or more to customers who replace their old refrigerators with new, energy-efficient models. To find out what s offered in your state, check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiencies, or D-S-I-R-E. Even without the rebate, buying an Energy Star certified refrigerator makes sense. A mid-size fridge more than 10 years old can cost $100 a year to run. Today s Energy Star compliant models cost half that much: some use less energy than a continuously running 75-watt light bulb. And with so many great new features like digital temperature control, French doors and even an alarm to tell you when the door s been left open a new fridge is a great investment that works for your family 24 hours a day!
