blue98ls1 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Our house has some extremely well made Amish kitchen cabinets. They were made without a dishwasher in mind. They were also made in large sections (4 cabinets long). We are wanting to install a dishwasher in these, and after partially dismantling 2 of the cabinets, I have gotten to the floor section. Short of taking the entire counter top off and removing the sink and everything else.... I am guessing I will have to cut out the floor section of this cabinet, right? I have been dreading this all week, but it needs to be done. I just want some other opinions to make sure I am doing this right.

Turbs3000 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Assuming the area on the left is the sink I would go pick up or borrow an oscillating saw and cut the lines in red and remove all those pieces or whatever gets you to the proper width and drill out the blue for the supply and drain lines.

blue98ls1 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I ended up doing something close to that. Going to put in a wine rack or something to the right to fill in the space. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/20170423_192521.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 That spot next to the diswasher looks like a perfect place for spice rack or cookie pans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I had thought about a spice rack too. I saved as much of the cabinets as possible to reuse for whatever ends up going in that little space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Personally it would be cookie sheets for me.. but really any of those uses would be perfect for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 cookie sheets and cutting boards. I put in a similar one when I redid my cabinets. it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I agree with cookie sheets. Not sure if the dishwasher would heat up that area beside it? If so, bad for wine and likely spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I agree with cookie sheets. Not sure if the dishwasher would heat up that area beside it? If so, bad for wine and likely spices. Great point...I don't think it'll make it to where it's like "hot", but definitely not ideal for wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Or you could divide it as if it were for wine, door it, and put your foil, saran, ect there. Maybe a combo. some shelves above and a tall area for the pans below that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
