It isn’t actually an island, behind the open space where the leg space is and you can see the cover are more legs.
So it isn’t really an island and the part that is “floating” into the window for bar chairs has a cabinet behind it too. So basically only 1/3 of it is “air” attached to the wall,
Does this kitchen plan help:
The kitchen is on tiles and the other floor in the living room is slightly infront of the tiles. So the kitchen is basically standing on the tiles and the wall of the cabinets is closing it.
Which gap do you mean?
The gap under the kitchen is still going to be closed tomorrow. The floor/wall gap on the right side is getting a skirting board in 2-3 weeks.
So kitchen isn’t standing on the wood floor, only on tiles and the cover will slightly be (2-3 cm) in front of the tiles and slightly above the wood floor (0.2mm) so we can’t see the tiles from the front (only wood floor).
This is what it looked like without kitchen:
So basically the wood floor has 0,5 cm gap to the walls and tiles and the cover of the kitchen will be in front of the gap. Ideally I won’t see the gap because it is behind the kitchen cover once we are done :)
The area underneith the cabinet is “open” and we wanted it not to be seeable tiles so we put the wood floor there. It was a bit complicated to messure it exactly so I had to “end” the tiles about 1.20 meters before I started the wood floor with 0,5 cm distance to the tiles.
In the pictures you can’t see it but if you are in the kitchen and take the cover away you can see about 7 cm’s of wood floor and then the cover and on the other side of the kitchen (my view in pictures) you can’t see the tiles and the 7 cm of wood floor because they are behind the cover.
Thanks! :-) It isn’t done, we are finishing the kitchen tomorrow and one shelf is already installed (right side) very small. Two others are being installed where the poweroutlet is and a little bit above it (counter top) as extension and open shelf.
Thank you! I love the tiles in that kitchen. And I love that my friends can just come over, drink a coffee and still talk with me while I am cooking something. The window next to the stove also gets the smell out quite fast.
Thanks! :)
It’s on the left side next to the built in oven. I have a smaller fridge with freezer built in but I have a larger fridge and freezer in the technical room to store stuff I don’t need daily.
I don’t know why but I never needed a big fridge. Tbh I had a half empty two door fridge the last years that I never filled up and always had to clean and throw stuff away I had bought but never used/ forgot in that fridge lol.
Not saying the fridge and freezer I have in that kitchen now is “small”, I’d say medium. Still enough room to store the stuff I use for a week or two.
I just laid it out to see. I gotta Sand the floor first and vapor barrier first.
Obvious though it was only to make pictures to Show it. Who starts in the middle lol
Dunno why it didmt Post images
Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn’t put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a “dent”.
To me I gotta say it doesn’t look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.
I have two takes on this.
When I was an avid climber, the consensus was, “Those who free solo, die by free solo.” So I think this isn’t an unpopular opinion, given non-climbers got to think it’s stupid. I think it’s just we love to spectate on that risky adventure.
Personally I have never and won’t in the future ever climb free solo but I joined people do it and my heart was racing like crazy. Imagine wittnessing a death. In my personal opinion it’s stupid. People do it because they think it makes them special. Having some type of safety measures wouldn’t effect the sport.
Does he still do free solos? If yes, he has children and a wife. That is the point where I have no respect for him or any other person. If you only got yourself and no family - fine. Do whatever. But if you have a family and people down there that love you - why should you continue to do that? You don’t need to feel more alive. You already proved the world you can and it’s okay. Instead he still goes up there without safety eventhough safety measures exist - for a reason.
If someone can climb what this dude can climb I wouldn’t have less respect for what he achieved just because he has a rope attached to him. I personally couldn’t care less. He can climb with a rope and if he falls start again until he finishes the climb without a drop and call it a day. Maybe his family members could then go in a Sauna during his climb instead of living in anxiety during his climb.
But well, I understand it. You feel alive blablabla. It’s like playing hardcore in action role play games but well, those are just games and if you die fine start again. This brings me to my next critic: if you fall, someone is going to have to clean you up. Thats not fair. I’m glad no one I love solo free climbs or does any other extreme sport and if I knew someone who does it on a regular basis that I love I would try to love this person less so the loss in case an accident happens won’t hurt as much.
Anyways great climber. In my eyes it’s still pathetic because he doesn’t need to prove he can do those climbs without a rope…

This video above is with Alex and Magnus and well what should I say… crazy.
If you had the choice to be a billionaire if you go back a few million years in earths age but have to wait it out til you reach the age of humans. Would you do it and wait?
Practically you already waited all that time but you weren’t aware of it. Now imagine having to watch it.
The chances are so low it’s just insane that it’s legal.
Imagine standing in front of 10 doors and opening 1 with a few million dollars. Heck, you’d be suprised that 1:10 is already hard. Now imagine 1:100 Now imagine 1:1000 Now imagine 1:10000
Now imagine the odds of lottery lol.
Good luck though. Someone is gonna win though so… might be you.
Thanks! :-) It’s a lot of work, especially I’m no professional just trying what I can do lol. It’s gonna take a while because I gotta finish the other rooms in the house too lol :D
I see what you mean, but the shower is behind the wall I took the picture of.
I angled them inside the shower but I also have a glas door just in case the water will flow out of it that I will install once I tested the shower lol.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I just finished grouting the tiles an hour ago. This is what they look like now!
I think I will keep the tiles, it looks better now!
Dunno cause the tiles on the wall sometimes look pinkish and I am not sure if the floor is to greyish.
It just sometimes feels like it doesnt really Match. My mother and my wife said it looks great and I like it too, it is only sonetimes I get this feeling lol
I do taxes in germany and their is a tax partnership or something what I see. But I get about 700 € back a year too from germany.
Most people do not care. And the people who do not care have little to no access to education and the people who do also do not care because they have A/C homes.
And if you say something people resist to understand what is going on because “it doesn’t exist” they say and it is fake news.
Not only are we forced to deal with climate crisis, also a crisis of missinformation.
I don’t think we can do much at all because once people realise what we are doing it will be at a point of no turn - if not already.
People distrust politicians generally but believe them when they deny climate change due to alignment with their economic interests, social identity, and a preference for short-term concerns over long-term issues.
Mindblown.
This world isn’t going to be the same in ten years from now. AI is awesome, but currently we are on a path to “People with AI vs People not using AI” and if you don’t understand AI now, …
We can’t escape AI usage. People resting on this subject are the first who are going to be invisible. The thing is how AI is advancing you can’t rest. It’s creeping on us and you can’t escape.
Again, AI isn’t bad. It is awesome but currently it will bring a lot of problems.
