Soybomb Kitchen pt.7

 The wall treatment was a 3-part project.  First the wall had to be furred out to make it plumb.  Then there was a layer of dense and strong flooring sheets. (thats the stuff with the darker reddish tone)  5/16 thick but more rigid than 3/4 plywood.
 Then some mahogany door skins were glued and tacked to that layer.  These had a real nice grain and the overall wooden backdrop acts real nice counterpoint to the concrete, steel and grey cupboards with a warmth prevents the kitchen from feeling too much like a mad scientist's lab.
 That pipe in the corner is actually a roof drain from the flat roof that exists on the building.  there was no moving it. A bulkhead would have intruded too far into the kitchen making an unsightly symmetry.    So we painted it.  was a pain in the ass to work around though.  Every step of the way.
 2 layers.
 That grey bullhead in the corner houses an electrical panel. It is made of a durable plywood.  And thus the section missing a cabinet as we needed access.



 Faucet installed!
Damn pipe.
