    I've already done that. They built up the floor too high. Only option is to go in there with a sawzall... But then I still wouldn't be able to get the new one in. I'm going to get new countertops soon anyway. I'll just have to wait.

    Not partial to Kitchenaud brand after the dishwasher tried to set my kitchen on fire. The attitude of their rep explaining to me that too bad so sad was another thing entirely.

    Considering I set my house on fire with a can of varnish, the dishwasher taking a shot at it wouldn't surprise me.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    What kind of tops and backsplash do you have? Common problem, not an easy fix though.

    Major reason to lay floor wall to wall when remodel. Cheaper to pay me to pull tops and base cabs during remodel than pull plumbing and tops in finished kitchen 6 months or two years later.

    Not cheap either.

    I still stand by only going wall to wall with real oak flooring that can be patched in. A have a fridge leak that warps laminate across the room, then have to pull all the cabinets just to replace $200 worth of floor? No thanks.

    Sounds like a repair not remodel project.

    I dont recommend laminate flooring in areas prone to water exposure.
