It's been a week and I'm still "kinda" off grid renovating and assembling new kitchen in my "hut"
Ikea really surprised me how easy it is to follow all the instructions. Sometimes special tools come in handy.
But old uneven walls are making me grey hairs.
I still didn't decided with wath I'm gonna cover the wall. Glass, tiles... 🤷 There's so much possibilities with wall covers I need to take a deep dive into it when I finish the cabinets.
Just a little preview what I'm dealing with atm....
How fortunate you are to be able to try to live the way you wish! #[0]
I often forget that but believe me, it's not so shiny as it seems. I still need to work to make a living but, I learned to be happy with what I have.
I believe in less is more and that helped me a lot.
Finally, the last handle has been fixed 🤙
Still some details to add here and there but the kitchen is fully functional so I can go in slow mode from now on 🦥
What I've learned...
* Ikea is simple and amazing.
*Follow the parts and check them on the list you get.
* Assemble cabinets one by one. Do not skip!
* Having the right tools save you a lot of time.
* If you don't know something look up at youtube. Tons of ikea videos on YT
* When wiring the electricity, switch off the main switch and work with a head lamp
* With handheld metal detector you'll avoid drill into stuff you shouldn't drill into
* If numbers arent your thing, measure 3 times before you saw!
* Take notes what other parts you need to buy will save you a lotta gas.
* Clean up the mess regularly to avoid searching parts and tools.
The whole kitchen has been renovated by my own two hands without any help of others except plumber who moved the radiator 1.5m away to the other wall. I unfortunately don't have the tools to do that.
Ikea got a new loyal customer 🤓
Sorry for the advertisement but this is my firs Ikea experience and I have only pros and no cons whatsoever.
