BUILT-INS DASHBOARD
Structural and material breakdown for the monolithic pantry, appliance garage, and high-vent refrigerator surround.
Zone Widths
Horizontal breakdown of the 122.5" wall space.
The Thermal Chimney
Convective cooling path for fridge compressor.
Physics Principle: Hot air from the compressor rises naturally. By keeping a 2" gap behind the upper cabinet, air escapes over the top, pulling cool air from the floor up behind the fridge.
Material Cut Yield
Distribution of the 5 Sanded Plywood sheets.
The Bondo Edge Strategy
Butter the Edges
Apply Original Bondo generously along the raw, exposed plywood edges of the pantry, shelving, and arched portal. Ensure it pushes into any voids.
Knife Trim (10 Min)
While the Bondo is "rubbery" and semi-cured, use a putty knife to shear off the excess perfectly flush with the wood faces. Do not let it fully harden yet.
Block Sand (30 Min)
Once fully hardened, block sand with 120-grit, then 220-grit. The result is a seamless, glass-smooth edge ready for high-quality enamel paint, eliminating iron-on banding.
