And… the sun is shining and the weather is sweet again.. and I’m continuing with my kitchen unit making! I made the first part which was the baking corner. It turned out beautiful and is exactly what I need! I’m still can’t decide whether it will be covered in oil or other finish… So…
Now it’s time to make the second section of my kitchen units. The part that has sink built in and place for the dishwasher. It won’t be that easy, I guess.
As before I have to glue boards together to make a countertop for the section.
I’m not a kitchen ergonomic expert, but I wanted my dishwasher to be located on the left from the sink. So there is not much to plan: first from the right will be the sink and then dishwasher.
How is your dishwasher located?

My dishwasher is to the right of the sink. It feels right. 😉

In our temporary kitchen it was on the left… and I’ve just tried on the right. Still can’t decide 🙂

My dishwasher is on the right because I am right handed and that was where we were advised to put it when ee remodeled our kitched years ago. In my old house it was on the left and I always had trouble working with it. We only lived in that house 2 years maybe if the dishwasher was on the right we would still be there? Who knows?

Interesting! I’m right handed too! I take washcloth in the right hand, plate in the left, scrub off the excess food and put it in the dishwasher 🙂 Will see, this would be interesting, cause I left it where it was, but it’s kind of in the corner, I can’t walk to dishwasher from the other side only from sink. Will see. If it won’t work, I’ll make a new kitchen unit 😀

My dishwasher is to the left. Have never thought much about it so I guess it must be working for me. Looks like you have another great project underway!

I hope to finish it soon. Or at least connect sink and dishwasher to deal with the pail of dirty dishes!

We can’t stop eating. Even we don’t have time to cook, we manage to have dirty dishes 🙂

Wow, that’s great that you’re confident enough to do the sink and dishwasher. Good for you. Our dishwasher is to the left of the sink, also. It looks like your boards are tongue and groove so they interlock. That’s good. I have a biscuit joiner for such projects and just use regular boards.

🙂 Thak you! I gain my confidence by doing! Never heard of biscuit joiner. I also add glue to be sure they are tight. I’m using floor boards.

The glue is a good idea. Yeah, floor boards would work. A biscuit joiner is handy.
