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.

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

Man I heard so many things about tradies (not positive)…

The only person I have to hunt down is me if things look bad lol.

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.

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.

My english isn’t good enough for that. I need someone to help me translate it.

I pay taxes in Germany, I earn about 40.000 € a year. So I don’t know.

I tried the IRS homepage but my english isn’t good enough to file taxes. I don’t understand much.

I am 35 years old and the lady that gave me my american passport tried to explain to me that I don’t have to sign up for selective service anymore, I am too old lol. I didn’t understand much of what she explained but she said: “it’s fine don’t sign up for it it’s for young people” and sent me out of the embassy in munich.

I work since I am 17 years old in germany and got the information that I am american citizen when I was about 32 (first time in america) I tried to enter with my german passport. The people at the airport told me I am american and need a passport. I didn’t know until then.
