00:14
hi i’m ward schrader co-host of the hgtv
00:17
show bargain mansions with my daughter
00:18
tamara day
00:20
and i have received shipment of my rta kitchen
00:25
and ready to assemble by the way
00:27
and i was at the factory a few weeks ago
00:31
and i got to help manufacture some of
00:34
these kitchen and they are fabulous this
00:36
is as i remember 10 000 psi cement
00:40
and these crates each weigh
00:42
six seven eight hundred pounds
00:44
and
00:45
this is going to go together in just a
00:47
few hours and i’m gonna have a fabulous
00:50
kitchen so stick around let’s see what
00:52
happens
00:55
we’re gonna set it right up against this
00:56
coast right here
00:58
[Music]
01:08
so interestingly even though the
01:11
cabinetry is quite substantial this
01:14
foundation has a gradual slope about one
01:16
inch and every 10 feet but
01:18
that isn’t enough to to create any real
01:21
problems for the
01:23
rta kitchen and or the coyote appliances
01:29
[Music]
01:40
ward great patio here it’s nice flat
01:43
smooth got the correct amount of slope
01:45
to it
01:46
uh but we still will have issues with
01:48
the tops of our panels uh matching up
01:50
all you know all the time
01:52
and it’s very important when you slide
01:54
the front panel in with the
01:58
with the side panel
01:59
it’s important that those two pieces are
02:02
flush at the top sure so the shims we send
02:07
make sure your nice flush and even
02:09
you’re ready for to put your l bracket on
02:12
[Applause]
02:14
so it also is very simple as far as
02:16
materials and tools you send the l
02:18
bracket you send all the screws
02:20
you send not only all the screws but you
02:22
send this uh send this nut driver of the
02:25
appropriate size for the screws and the
02:28
only thing i have to provide is the
02:29
drill yeah that’s the only only thing we
02:31
don’t we provide every tool you need
02:33
other than the power tool awesome
02:56
[Music]
03:09
and these are all aluminum and the
03:11
screws are stainless you never have to
03:13
worry about it resting falling apart
03:16
so john what is what is this bar for
03:18
here isn’t it isn’t there a refrigerator
03:19
that goes in here yeah there is so this
03:22
bar here is put in at the factory um
03:25
when we cast this piece it was cast
03:27
upside down you saw it when you were
03:28
there what we have is a large piece of
03:31
concrete a large piece of concrete and a
03:33
small sliver above their fridge so we’ve
3:35
Reinforcement Braces
03:35
put these reinforcement braces in to keep anything from flexing and moving and keep it from cracking during chipping but once you get it over here this piece it’s just put on with a self tappers well there’s kind of a science to packaging this thing isn’t there yeah
03:54
like i said before they got to go clear across the country so we’re making sure that they make it alive well this is great so these are heavy enough we don’t secure them to the the other cabinet but the countertop will **** right up against this cabinet yeah
04:11
there is no reason to attach cabinet to cabinet they’re they’re heavy enough when you put them together they’re not going to go anywhere and then this is going to be a bar area with a refrigerator under it and and so there’ll be a different height and
04:24
different elevation to the cabinet yeah yep breaks up the kitchen nice uh gives you some nice elevation change the u-shape of it i really really like and not only that but there’s plenty of room coming out of the kitchen to get right into here do everything i need to do [Music]
04:47
why don’t you tell me about these corners these are substantially different than what i saw when i was at the factory last time yeah we uh we made a switch to concrete corners so everything is made in-house now got special molds made i think it looks a whole lot better oh
05:04
absolutely absolutely go on there that looks that looks substantial that looks finished they’re at a 90 degree angle uh you know exactly the with your corner of your kitchen the back the backs of them are smooth so it’s got a technology in it where you
05:23
push it on there hold it for five seconds it’s stuck you better have it in the right place yes yes so uh what i suggest is a nice healthy bead on the back of the corner all you want to do [Music] is push that corner nice and tight into the corner like i said hold it for
05:51
five ten seconds and she’s on there well if i liked it without the corners
5:56
Corners would i have to put them on they don’t add anything do they
6:00
Inside Corners
06:01
so our inside corners here especially our plank finish are made to where you can put a corner on it or not put a corner on it depends on your preference but as you can see you know our lines in the plank match so if you put them together they just go around same way with our weathered
06:16
wood same with our stack stone it it all comes together so uh once again it’s just your preference whether you want to put a corner on or not put a corner on if you are putting a corner on you’ve got a half inch gap here and it just does the same thing slides right in [Music]
06:38
give her a little love tap i’m not going anywhere and it gives it a finished look that looks great so these are ready to assemble kitchens they’re they’re monolithic panels so unlike other outdoor kitchens these units don’t take any framework or foundation so
07:01
you can put this on your wood deck you can pour it put this on your existing patio paver stamped concrete broom concrete whatever the system we have with the aluminum channels and the l-brackets and the self-tappers your front panel back panel side panels all go together
07:18
as the framework as the finished product as the the kitchen as a whole so there’s not three steps to the kitchen there’s only one step to the kitchen well it certainly makes for a quick and easy installation [Music] [Music] so i’ve built a lot of outdoor kitchens
08:42
and most of them i’ve built from scratch i can tell you this is about a hundred times easier than doing one from scratch framing up whether it be stone or wood or concrete or some other kind of medium it all requires lots of cutting and shaping and fitting this thing
09:02
we designed it online with their with the rta tools and it came in it was as rta stands for ready to assemble it took about eight screws on each corner that’s all and the cabinetry was together all the holes were cut in it slid the appliances in hooked them up put a top on it was
09:25
ready to go this was done literally in less than a day granite tops sinks counters everything [Music] so [Music] outdoor cooking spending time together this rta kitchen and coyote grills and all the accessories has been fantastic for bringing our family together [Music] you
