Fun FYI: that outlet on the island is actually required by code! When we bought our house, it was something I asked for but the seller didn’t want to put in and our agent discovered it was actually required by code. Apparently fires caused by people knocking over small appliances by tripping over a cord running from an island were so common, it’s part of code to have a electrical outlet built in. Or atleast that’s what I was told.
@@horatioswrld Yes, but those standards would be adopted and modified at the state and local level. There’s a reason building permits and building inspections are done at the most-local geography (town, city, or county). They take into account the rules from all the levels.
@@j10001 Having learned a lot more than I ever planned to about building codes (a major latent defect in your house will do that), it seems that most jurisdictions will just use the NEC (National Electrical Code, developed and published by the National Fire Protection Association) straight up, although the version of the code (typically revised every three years) may vary as it may take several years for a new version of the code to be adopted after it is published. Some jurisdictions may also modify the code in places, or could even replace it with their own code entirely, but those things seem to be rare. Internationally, many countries have their own codes, and the EU has a standardized code as well that many member nations use. When it comes to plumbing it's a little more confusing as there are two major standards (International Plumbing Code and Universal Plumbing Code) but in the parts I've read it seems that the differences between them tend to be minor, and the majority of the requirements are identical. The tricky part is in figuring out which one is in effect where you are, which isn't always easy to find.
While the blue and yellow aren't my style, that panel on the back of the island looks absolutely amazing with the flooring and counter tops. Perfect 5/7.
Happy to see that the countetops finally came!!! The island really looks HUGE now that its all buttoned up! Everything is looking great and can't wait to see the backsplash go up
I literally cheered out loud when you announced the countertops had arrived. I'm sure you're more than happy to put this one to bed. The cedar panel looks great and is a nice and interesting finish for the back side of the island. Fun fact: I was installing four of these exact same power modules in tables in one of our collaboration spaces at work today. Thanks for sharing!
Aside from the blue and yellow it looks great. I don't get that color choice though. BUT not my kitchen. Quality of your work is top notch. Love the videos.
"temporary" be honest with yourself, bob.. also, you are NEVER going to pull off that panel to replace one board.. but at the same time i don't think you'll ever need to, i doubt even children could damage one enough to warrant replacement
@@godfirnon ain't that the truth. I still haven't gotten to fully sealing the gap between my built-in closet and the wall. Just stuffed in some newspaper to seal it and fit a piece of wood to cover the slit.
Achievement Unlocked: Countertops! Your kitchen is gorgeous and getting better all the time. The colors, textures, choices of materials -- it's been really fun to watch, so thank you for sharing.
Greatness takes time. It turned out very well. Very nice job. Great video series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
I understand your frustrations with the countertops. We recently ordered countertops from a big blue home improvement store. Their 10 day guarantee turned into 3.5 months.
Can't wait for the backsplash video. My dad and I did a backsplash for our kitchen a few years back, and I want to see if you'll have as much trouble as us! We chose one of randomized pieces of tile, metal, and glass. We had to use three different tools to cut it. It was... Tough.
wow! love the colours! the wood detail behind the island looks great. even though not building my own kitchen i can totally use that method on a project i've been trying to think of a solution for, for ages, so thank you for the inspiration 👍
Awesome and cheap solution! love it. Looks great. Easily repaired and removeable for access with wood from any hardware store. Does look high end with the waterfall on the island.
Love the color choices. From the cabinet faces to the appliances. If I had kitchen that size, I'd def do an under cabinet beverage fridge to free up space from the main fridge.
Yay for countertops! It's probably good that you waited for the proper ones. I made temporary countertops from particle board for our kitchen renovation, and they stayed on for almost a year...

Every county in every state has different codes. So where you live it’s required but bob may not be required to have one.
@@j0nnyh34t7 aren’t some things nationwide standards?

Wow beautyful congrats🎉
OMG the blue cupboards and the yellow oven! So pretty.
Fantastic looking kitchen island !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to the video doing the backsplash. We're going to renovate our kitchen and I've been looking at the best way to do that part.
That looks beautiful. Kudos to the designer and a pat on the back to the builder.
Looks goooooooood
Finally! Happy for you guys!
Love the new transition!

I really like the yellow stove and blue drawers!
Beautiful island!

Same, love that blue..
Love the pops of color with all of that white!
Looks amazing! I hope your family enjoys it for many years to come
Yay!!! Congrats on the countertops!!!!
Finally! So glad for all of you that the tops have arrived. It’s really tied the whole space together
Aside from the blue and yellow it looks great. I don't get that color choice though. BUT not my kitchen. Quality of your work is top notch. Love the videos.
Cedar’s such a good accent wood against those solid colors. Great eye as always!
Looks gr8
The transition at 6:20 was such a vibe, love that whoever made it :)
You can be very proud of yourself! In the end you built your family a kitchen, for many of us the center of life.
Yes! Thank you!
That kitchen looks amazing!
LOVED the transformers reference / divider 😉😉😉😉😉
"temporary" be honest with yourself, bob.. also, you are NEVER going to pull off that panel to replace one board.. but at the same time i don't think you'll ever need to, i doubt even children could damage one enough to warrant replacement
Yeah, but if there is ever an issue with the dishwasher, its sure nice to be able to get behind it
@@kyleh3615 no dishwasher in the island, it's a stove and mini fridge
I don't know. Seems he already does a lot of stuff most people would never do, like DYI literally everything.

Thank you so much!
The design was MONEY!!!!! love it
Love all the colors you did in the kitchen!
Man that kitchen is amazing!
Wow, that slat wall turned out really well! Goes well with the kitchen design.
Love the Transformers transition!
Your kitchen is looking absolutely stunning
Finally! and the kitcen looks great, I like the way you combined the colors of the appliances and the cabinets!
Greatness takes time. It turned out very well. Very nice job. Great video series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks so much Jared!

It's not only countertops - I've been waiting for a garage door since June.
The latest estimate is that it might be ready at the end of August.
Turned out great, Bob!!
CONGRATS, it looks fabulous.
Love the panels. That transformer animation was awesome.
Can't wait for the backsplash video. My dad and I did a backsplash for our kitchen a few years back, and I want to see if you'll have as much trouble as us!
We chose one of randomized pieces of tile, metal, and glass. We had to use three different tools to cut it. It was... Tough.
Nice.
Painting the plywood sheet black before mounting the strips would probably make the cedar pop even more :)

Always check the floorprint before installing cabinets.
YAY for countertops! Congrats Bob and family!
ngl the transition at 3:34 pretty smooth... i love it
Killer looking kitchen!
Woooo countertops! Kitchen looks awesome as it is, but a backsplash will make it pop even more.
They island looks fantastic! I love the blue, great contrast!
This looks amazing, wow
Nice work photoshopping those countertops into the video. Very impressive! Best wishes from Germany!
Ha! I'm very happy that we didn't have to do that :)
So stoked for this video to finally arrive, I'm sure it felt fantastic to finally get the countertops!!
looks good.. gotta feel satisfying once you reach these final stages, after so much work..
Everything looks great! I think I would of painted the plywood sheet black before putting the cedar strips on it but it looks awesome regardless
Awesome and cheap solution! love it. Looks great. Easily repaired and removeable for access with wood from any hardware store. Does look high end with the waterfall on the island.
The overhanging countertops look really good
Looks great! Super excited to see the backsplash
WOW phenomenal work
Bob the Builder, amazing!!! Your family must be lovin it!!
this looks so luxurious
That kitchen is really coming together. Looking great man!
Looks amazing Bob.
Kitchen looks great!!!
That Transformer style transition is Prime!
Love the color choices. From the cabinet faces to the appliances. If I had kitchen that size, I'd def do an under cabinet beverage fridge to free up space from the main fridge.
Thanks!! There's one on the far end of the island (behind me in that shot) 👍🏼
Yay for countertops! It's probably good that you waited for the proper ones. I made temporary countertops from particle board for our kitchen renovation, and they stayed on for almost a year...
That cedar looks great.
Dang is that a nice kitchen
Wow, Bob! That looks amazing. Love the cedar panel idea, and it turned out great. 👍
Awesome man! So excited for you guys to finish the kitchen.
Countertops delayed for months and months but still have a bunch of things to do just days before they arrive! Inevitable fact of life.
The kitchen is looking great !
Looks great! My remodel has been done and countertops have been reschedule thrice but I know it will be worth the wait
That cedar back looks great
This looks amazing!
I love the back of the kitchen island. great idea.
It's good that you were able to finish your kitchen remodeling...
Finally! The countertop saga is at an end!
Really fantastic, Bob! 😃
The kitchen turned out amazing!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
