Kitchen Cabinets, To Your Spaces!


Ok, so it may not look like much, but the kitchen is starting to take shape. All the tile (countertops and backsplash) is removed and gone, the gas line and icemaker lines are switched in preperation for their respective appliances and the electrician is coming tomorrow to move some outlets, pull some 220 for the new electric oven and get the rest of the electrical situation in shape. Does it look like much now? Probably not. But today was a lot of work. I'm mixing new RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinets in with the existing ones, and wouldn't you know it - they're not identical. So I'm forced to make shims, cut cross members and move them down an inch, fill gaps, etc. so that they will be identical once they're all installed and painted.
Today's work, priming the new RTA cabinets and installing the cooktop cabinet, it's 18" flanking cabinets and the two on the wall to the left. Plus, several drywall repairs - then I had to duck out to get the boys off to football practice. Ah, crazy life. Tomorrow will hopefully be a big day. I hope to get electrical where I need it, adjust some cabinets so that they match and temporarily reinstall the cooktop so they can use it to cook! Here goes nothing! ;-)
