hello my name is ward schroeder i’m
00:10
co-host of the television show bargain
00:12
mansions with my daughter tamara day on
00:15
the magnolia network and a few weeks ago
00:18
i got to i got the pleasure of going to
00:20
indiana and working with rta to assemble
00:23
my kitchen and these products are all
00:25
made out of cement they’re pre-assembled
00:27
they’re pre-cut i’ll be able to drop in
00:29
my appliances my refrigerator my trash
00:32
can my range when all of this is
00:34
assembled and if you get a good look
00:36
there’s little brackets that are
00:38
embedded in the cement that attach the
00:40
cabinetry together
00:43
they’ve thought of almost everything
00:44
they even come
00:46
with instructions how to disassemble
00:48
the
00:49
crating
00:50
if you will along with a bit
00:54
already for your drill so that you don’t
00:56
have to think about too much to get this
00:58
done
00:59
so i’m excited to get this and get this
01:02
built installed so stick around and and
01:05
let’s get started
01:10
so as you talked before we’ve got the
1:11
Uncrating Instructions
01:12
uncrating instructions on the side of the crate each piece is numbered how you’re supposed to remove it so start with number one go to number two go to number three go to number four and then the back panel says do not remove you do not want to remove that panel so
01:33
we’ll go ahead and start with number one top bottom and middle [Music] when you get to number four you’re going to have these the braces ward where you it’s the support to keep it from shifting when they’re in the truck traveling down the road
01:58
each one of those will have four screws you’re going to want to remove then the number four panel has three screws at the top that are connected to the frame when you take off the number four panel you’re gonna find your corners
2:22
Install Kit
02:22
and you’re going to find your install kit every box comes with a nut driver and a t25 what’s this for john that is touch-up paint and touch-up sealer so if your stacked stone kitchen or your plant kitchen has a scratch in it when it comes in or there’s a flaw
02:45
very easy to just touch it up and hide that even comes with a brush yep uh that is lock tight uh adhesive so that’s how we will apply the corners okay it instantly grabs so you’re not having to worry about tape it you’re not having to worry about bungee cording or strapping
03:03
and the uh installation guide so the first thing everybody should know is don’t just start cutting all these straps correct because each set of straps holds a different sheet of of cement yes these are your concrete corners be careful with these i mean they’re they’re strong but you
03:21
don’t want to cut the strap and then let them fall
3:25
H Frame
03:25
we call this the h frame it’s what’s holding the the pieces together so you’re gonna have some screws in it well what i see from this john is that you are packaging these things as as professionally as it could possibly be done so that there is no damage in transport
03:43
correct we we want to pack them like a tank they’re made in cambridge city indiana and they’ll go to california they’ll go to florida they’ll go to texas new hampshire across the interstate and it’s a bumpy ride so we want to make sure that these things are protected
03:59
and there is no issue at all when they show up on your doorstep so it’s easy to know you’d cut these four straps first to get at the first one do not cut these back here or these back here that is correct always start with the first piece um we preach all the time these are not
04:18
for shipping reasons these are for unpacking reasons great thought process goes into all this cardboard in between each piece and styrofoam to protect it so you don’t have to use that touch-up paint [Music] so we’re going to be able to set it on
04:46
this relatively flat surface run it over through those posts and bring it back around i’m going to have this fabulous u-shaped working kitchen so thanks to rta and coyote this is going to be the best kitchen in the neighborhood [Music]
