11/15/09 - Day 10 - Cabinets 2





More building . . .




We finally figured out how to mount the cabinets even when there was no stud. First of all, that pantry ain't going nowhere, since it's right up under the soffet, so we used molly/toggle-bolts with the IKEA railing system. Michael is clamping the colored siding to the pantry. 


Then he screws the outer cover panel from the inside of the pantry.


The 15" cabinet is mounted and face frame screwed on. Starting to look like the picture in the IKEA catalog!


Now it's time to make the sink cabinet. Holes must be cut in the back for the plumbing, water supply lines, etc.


Stop playing Michael!


Cute butt! Oh, sorry. This is all about business. Once the sink cabinet was positioned correctly, we were able to position the cabinets that would be next to the refrigerator.


The cover panels are on.


I spend much of my time installing the drawer fronts onto the drawer innerds.


The rail is applied to the drawer front to help keep the drawer contents from overflowing.


Looking good!


The front room is a disaster! I won't be having Kanika customers come over any time soon!!!


We finished putting together ALL of the wall and base cabinets. I looked thru ALL of the 117 boxes that were delivered yesterday to ensure that there were no scratches, etc. Then went to a retirement lunch and 60th birthday celebration of my dear friend, Cynthia, at Frasinetti's Winery. Back to IKEA to return six damaged door/drawer fronts. To Second Saturday now.
