And I know that I have to clean 184 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.720 like outside of my facia with some kind of a 185 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.440 cleaning solution to deal with the grease and handprints and stuff. 186 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.039 And I that's what I don't know what to buy 187 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.399 for the cleaning to prep it. 188 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:36.960 Okay, gotcha, gotcha? Well there's actually I like to recommend 189 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.200 two steps, two steps in the cleaning process pre paint. 190 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.240 If you're just cleaning your cabinets, you don't do the 191 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.960 second step here. But if we're getting ready for paint, 192 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:51.080 then two steps one and it's very simple. You can 193 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.919 use a just a dish soap like Dawn dish soap. 194 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.679 I prefer to run down to the hardware store and 195 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.559 get some Murphy's Oils soap. Okay, Murphy's Oil soap for 196 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.879 wood is just fantastic. It has It's not gonna get 197 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.399 your cabinets all slippery or anything like that. It's just 198 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.720 a wonderful wood cleaning solution and it'll help get all 199 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.960 the you know, that's the first step to get the 200 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.639 grease and grime and anything that's left over off. And 201 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.799 you don't have to abrasively scrub or anything like that. 202 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.720 Just be patient and be gentle with it, and and 203 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.679 give them a good bath with Murphy's Oil soap for wood, 204 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.840 or even a mild dish washing detergent. Honestly, they work 205 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:45.399 just great. Then then the next step would be one 206 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.000 nice you know, once they're nice and clean, one nice 207 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.679 wipe down to get any residue off with a mixture 208 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.000 of white vinegar and water. One to one mix of 209 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.600 white vinegar and water. And what that's gonna do, Brenda, 210 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.360 Not only will it finish off the cleaning, it'll take 211 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.039 off any residue of soap left behind for whatever reason. 212 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.320 But the vinegar vinegar has, you know, is essentially acetic acid. 213 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:14.159 It is a just a very very mild, wonderful acid 214 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.480 that that doesn't hurt anything, but it'll help open up 215 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.879 the porosity of the surface of the paint that's there, 216 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.960 which means that the new paint will just bond to 217 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.240 it really really well. Now, if your cabinets are super 218 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.519 shiny as far as the paint goes, and you're and 219 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.440 you're gonna do a larger area of paint, then I 220 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.200 don't really want you to sand unless you're trying to 221 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.679 get rid of some bad you know nick, I mean, 222 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759 you know, bad impression. You don't really need to sand them, 223 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.240 but you may want to take some steel wool something 224 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.240 like that and just buff the sheene down on the 225 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.799 surface that you're about to paint again. It's not about 226 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.919 sanding it as in the sense of trying to smooth 227 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.799 out something that is rough and bumpy. It's a steel 228 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.879 wool that comes in in different different oughts. When you 229 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.840 go to the store and you're in the paint section, 230 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.759 you're looking at steel wool, they'll be a single zero 231 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.679 all the way up to four zeros. The four zero 232 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.759 is the finest. I like to do a three hought 233 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.960 or four hought steel wool, and you're just kind of 234 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.080 taking the sheen off so that it goes dull looking 235 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.799 and not shiny. Once you're at that place with a 236 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.440 clean cabinet, it's ready for another coated paint. 237 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.840 Wonderful What I wanted to know on that you said, 238 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:44.320 the uh, the spread for fineness is like zero to 239 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.799 four mm. 240 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.159 Hmm, yeah, and you'll live on the bag. Zero zero 241 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.120 is more coarse than four. Four is the finest, the 242 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.360 more zero, the finer, the steel wool. 243 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.919 Great, oh great, this is just this is awesome, awesome 244 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.639 for me and I just thank you so much. 245 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.000 Dean. 246 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.320 It's great and you are very welcome.

Just woke up. 280 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:05.879 The crickets were cricks, creaking, creaking, chirping, surfing. It is, 281 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.720 you know what early spring mornings in southern California. I 282 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.720 think probably everywhere early spring morning. It just feels like 283 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.440 like the air just took a like a hot shower 284 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.240 and taking a bed like scrubbed itself clean and smells 285 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.559 like I mean, it's just wow. The air is so fresh, 286 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.039 it's unbelievable. I'm going to spend as much time outside 287 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.320 today as possible. Anyway, Sandy, how can I help you? 288 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.440 Well? Eighteen years ago, when I moved into my condo, 289 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.679 I gutted the kitchen, which was a good thing because 290 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.720 trust me, it needed it. So it was down to 291 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:44.519 bare walls, and they, they, because I didn't personally do it, 292 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.600 did a great job of putting it back together with 293 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.879 the way I wanted it. At the time, I did 294 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:57.879 not have a kitchen aid mixer. Subsequently, a few years ago, 295 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:02.960 I saw on some programs where there was this contraption 296 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.039 that fits in a cabinet so that when you open 297 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:12.240 the cabinet door, this contraption comes up, either with or 298 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:16.400 without the kitchen aid on it and creates its own stand, 299 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.039 but then puts it all away when you close the 300 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.960 cabinet door. Again, what do you call the silly thing? 301 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.319 I want to be able to buy one and put 302 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.640 it in. 303 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.599 You know, it's a thing of a jig what you 304 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.200 call it thing? That's what? No, No, it's it is. Okay, 305 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.759 it is a here's what you need to find. You're 306 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.640 going to find it instantly. Our favorite version is made 307 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.720 by rev A Shelf, r e V Dash a Dass 308 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:53.599 Dash Shelf, Reva Shelf. They are one of the most dependable, reliable, 309 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.640 best made cabinet hardware companies for aftermarket products especially, but 310 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.359 even for custom stuff. If I was just talking to 311 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.759 John Cordero about this last show, this last Sunday show 312 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.119 in our kitchen cabinet show Reva shelf, and it is 313 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:16.240 the technical term is it is a mixer or appliance lift. Okay, 314 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.960 So if you put in Revas shelf mixer lift, you're 315 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.880 gonna you're gonna hit that. There will deal be all 316 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.559 over the place. You'll see them everywhere. Okay. Home Depot 317 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.119 sells them. You can buy them on Amazon, you know. 318 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.559 Uh. 319 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.559 The only trick is understand this that that this goes 320 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.559 in a cabinet base cabinet that doesn't have a drawer 321 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:39.960 at the top. Okay, And it doesn't mean that it can't. 322 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.839 I don't think I think some of them can fit 323 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.559 in a lower if it's a really small drawer. But 324 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.839 if you want the shelf to the lift to come 325 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.640 up to countertop level and lock in place, then then 326 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.559 it's a base cabinet that has a door and no 327 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.519 no drawer, and that can be altered too, especially if 328 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.039 you have frameless cabinets, you could you could alter a 329 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.640 cabinet for that. But yes, the mixer sits on this 330 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.519 shelf and you open the cabinet door and you just 331 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.960 grab the lever there and up it comes. You never 332 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.599 move the mixer, you never have to. It locks in place, 333 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.400 and when you're done, you hit the little tab and 334 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.160 unlock it and boom, spring loaded. It just slowly and 335 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.960 gently finds its way back into the cabinet. You shut 336 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.039 the door and walk away, And that is a mixer left. 337 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.519 Sounds awesome. Do you have any idea how much they 338 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.720 would retail for? 339 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.000 They? 340 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:42.039 Uh, okay, I'm thinking they are in the low two hundreds. 341 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.680 I think that you can probably find them for you know, 342 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.680 two twenty two forty something like that out there. 343 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.799 Awesome, awesome, awesome. 344 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.519 It's about time when you know, eighteen years later that 345 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.200 I put a new face on my kitchen. And that's 346 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.960 one of the things I want to do to it. 347 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:04.720 So thank you very very much and have a great 348 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.720 rest of your days. 349 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.160 Sandy, you two, thanks for calling.
