| 248 :20x01 - Kitchen Cabinet Basics (1 of 9) (Jan/05/2008) | | The twentieth season opener also starts an ambitious nine episode arc in which Norm explains the intricacies of constructing a new kitchen. This episode and the next one cover the basics: design ideas and sources, hardware, tool requirements, wood selection, finishing techniques. Finally, Norm constructs a base cabinet unit from pre-finished plywood, and then builds a face frame for it from poplar. Over the course of the next episodes, he'll discuss the creation of specific parts of the new kitchen, one at a time. | | Director: Russell Morash | | | | | | |
| 250 :20x03 - Kitchen Project - The Hot Wall (3 of 9) (Jan/19/2008) | | It is time to begin construction of the kitchen. Norm first turns his attention to the hot wall, where the oven and range reside. At the kitchen, he identifies several shortcomings of the existing cabinetry that he will address in his new design. Using a couple of long sticks as rules, he marks off measurements that will guide him when he creates the cabinetry in the workshop. The biggest cabinet is the one that will hold the oven, with a storage drawer below and sheet pan storage above behind cabinet doors. Norm also builds a pair of cabinets to flank the range, including one with an extra large door that will help conceal the range vent piping. | | Director: Russell Morash | | | |
| 251 :20x04 - Kitchen Project - The Wet Wall (4 of 9) (Jan/26/2008) | | Having completed the hot wall, Norm turns his attention to the wet wall – the cabinetry that will contain the sink and dishwasher. There is a base unit on either side of the dishwasher; one contains the sink and some drawers, and the other contains two ranks of drawers. Above them is a cabinet specially designed to hold china and glassware, with glass doors, provision for an under the cabinet light and adjustable shelving. Norm also describes how to install the special concealed runners that support all of the drawers, using a jig made for the purpose. | | | |
| 252 :20x05 - Kitchen Project - The Pantry (5 of 9) (Feb/02/2008) | | Most people need a spot to store jars and boxes and plastic containers that hold the ingredients destined to become meals. That place is the pantry, and this kitchen needs one, so Norm sets out to build a pantry that efficiently uses the available storage space and meets the needs of the homeowner. He starts with a basic box, and then adds a door that matches other kitchen details, and has a number of small boxes for on the door storage of spices and other small jars. That, together with seventeen linear feet of 1½ foot deep shelving, makes for a pantry with plenty of storage. | | Director: Russell Morash | | | |
| 253 :20x06 - Kitchen Project - The Kitchen Office (6 of 9) (Feb/09/2008) | | In the sixth of nine parts, Norm builds a small office nook for the new kitchen. It consists of a drawer box and a surface of long leaf pine, with an overhead shelf that conceals task lighting and plenty of space for bookshelves. He conceals it between a pair of wing walls to keep it relatively invisible from other parts of the house, and recovers some space by making the desk thinner than the desk now in the kitchen (which this one will replace) and proposing the relocation of a bulky baseboard heater. Cleats secure the entire unit to the wall, and Norm has made provision for electrical wiring to a computer and lighting. | | Director: Russell Morash | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
