Just a side comment, water sensors are relatively inexpensive now to detect 
moisture before issues get too bad and send a notification to your phone .  I 
have them under sinks, floor near washing machine, and in the basement by the 
sump pump.  I use SmartThings ones, but several options available.

We did our entire kitchen in IKEA, but that was mid-2020 before supply chain 
issues got very bad. I have no idea if they have recovered. We are still very 
pleased with these cabinets. IMO, very good if you are looking for a 
contemporary/Modernist look. The top cabinets are deeper than most American 
cabinets. Also, IKEA has a lot of accessories that coordinate with the drawers 
and cabinets to maximize storage. We also did their under-counter and 
in-cabinet lighting.

You can meet up at the Stoughton store with a kitchen planner. It’s necessary 
to do this as they have access to inventory that you would not get through the 
regular store website. FYI: they have two types of product—one for inexpensive 
apartment-type installations, and then longer term residential lines. We put 
all of the cabinets together ourselves. Get a power screwdriver...

As for flooring, I highly recommend Flooring America on Rte. 9 in Natick, 
westbound side. We used pre-finished oak flooring from Canada, and laminated 
cork for other areas. We did use Lumber Liquidators for basement flooring 
(click vinyl laminated planking).

We, too, had a pipe burst. Unbelievably destructive.

Yes, very good idea to carefully look at sink and bathroom pipes, replacing 
them, even if you think they are still good enough. A friend of mine had what 
she realized too late was a slow tiny leak for years. Her meticulously 
maintained bath fixtures were 50 years old. Now, 5 months later, her work is 
done. From the upstairs bath, through the LR, all the way to the basement, she 
had to replace walls, flooring, ceilings, insulation, etc., through the three 
floors. It would have been cheaper to just replace the still functioning vanity 
and faucet. Stuff corrodes and then it leaks…..
