Cabinets--It's a Start!

Installing cabinets is much more labor-intensive than this cowgirl thought. Especially when your brand-new floor has a bit of a saggy, slopey quality that no one noticed until now. I jokingly asked Contractor, sheesh, who built this place anyway?? He laughed and said "Really!" At least he has a sense of humor most days.


So anyway, there is a lot of leveling, a lot of shimming, etc. It's quite slow. But I am impressed by both the quality of our American Woodmark cabinets and by the attention our crew is paying to install these cabinets right.


For my part, I made sure the opposing lazy-susan's doors were in the correct orientation, and chose the direction of wood grain for the filler pieces. I got each cabinet in line to be installed, removing straps and boxes and little plastic feet and other packing material. I think I was actually helpful. It was a good day, and I'm excited about how nice the cabinets look.


And H-Bomb got a boatload of cardboard to build his house. It's a work in progress.



We'll be back at it tomorrow. Here's another picture to tide you over:
