So far, so good. Looking forward to the progression.

Looking for Part 2 also! Say, is that an inside camera you have located in the window over the sink? Looks like the blind is cut out for it. Very curious as to how that is used. Please post - I think I can learn a lot from your experiences!!

I'm anxious to see the finished product, too!!!!Alfred622 --- that's the knob for opening the louvered window.....

Always replace. Laminate is non porus, so the glue has nothing to soak into.

Not saying you can't, in just wouldn't do it :) especially if the old laminate started to let go

Can you just glue new laminate on the old stuff or do you have to replace the wood too?
