Kitchen as jewelry? The whole house is an art project. Same with other homes I lived in.... same with Condo in Bangkok. Foodie... not really but Lisa loves to cook and now my waist line is ridiculous.
Destroyer.... glass counter top food prep sink up close ---
The art project .... it was featured in International Homes magazine.
Middle room is my office where I write to you DIY'ers.

You know Richard, you really did pick the wrong place for your house, you should have bought a few miles over so you had a Rough and Ready address.

That is really remote and totally red neck country and anti-socials up there.-RM
Lots of stuff to move to actually use, not very practical in any case. I'll take totally functional, purpose driven, to each their own. In any case a kitchen without all gas appliances is limited. I'm far past doing it again (the family has gone their separate ways) but if I did I would definately put in a 40,000 BTU wok hob with its own exhaust hood and a big Wolf or Vulcan commercial stove, ugly but functional.
As I seem doomed to never be on mains gas again and propane pigs are large I am thinking induction hobs. At work the kitchens scrapped a virtually unused induction wok setup. I nearly put it in the car, but just no room in the current hovel for it.
Like this https://www.webstaurantstore.com/ga...wok-range-208v-3-phase-5-kw/372SHWO5000C.html but with a stainless unit built around it.

My kitchen is scientific.
Workflow optimized and almost capable of autoquisquilaestasis at an acceptable level. Weekly cleaning is tomorrow, as may be obvious for the habitual observer.

I am sad that my best joke of the year fell flat
It didn't, but being the one who threw his hat into the ring, I find that type of humour highly distasteful.
Some guy named Stuart still has them. Not that I need them back but...
....l you have no idea... that is 1/2 the kitchen. Only shown for the glass top surface to show result of sand blasted/painting effect. But the food is right near the prep sink/disposal. The big ugly industrial exhaust hood you like... is actually a built-in which rises up behind the cook surface when needed. The oven is also well placed nearby the food prep area and fridge. Above the oven is a Miela coffee maker. I have gas and electric on site.

It does.... with high sloping redwood ceiling and selectively used sound absorption hidden in ten foot lighting soffits . And throw rugs on floor.
I never go in the kitchen.... cant cook anything. Lisa prefers this layout and cooks a lot.... listens to her little Cd player near her and is a happy camper in Her glass counter top kitchen. All pots and pans etc are in drawers below front of stove. Looks better and less junked up.

Thank you again for showing us all your nice stuff, I'm sure it makes you feel good. It all looks very clean BTW like a freshly polished car.
So where's the gas hobs? And frankly being into the best of everything I'm surprised you are not into the concierge medicine thing. Top experts at your beck and call for a price.
....they are 'dirty' things and the heat melts the wax polish skin whereas if you carefully polish an induction hob with the most expensive heat resistant polish which money can buy then you too can have a kitchen that looks like a dentist's treatment room.
BTW, perhaps this thread should be retitled - something along the lines of;
"John Curl's Blowtorch preamplifier - or anything else which costs a lot & which you can brag about"
perhaps?

Costs a lot... Can I post pictures of my children? They cost a bl**dy fortune
True, the four of them were close to $800,000 in tuitions alone.
yah, I had considered installing a wok in my car as well, but decided on a wet bar instead...

I don't like fire/smoke inside cooking.... I use BBQ outside for that. With your Big gas knobs and all.
Saturday is BBQ steak day.
Concierge medicine thing? I already have that taken care of... one block from condo in Bangkok. Treated like a King there.
Have I missed anything?
