The tile floors were pulled out a couple of weeks ago and the new cabinets were delivered Monday. A couple of nights assembling some of the cabinets and today I was ready to get going with the cabinet installation.
Old cabinets are down and the cleat is installed at the desired height and level (I hope). White drywall patch in the soffit is from my investigation into removing the soffit. Found wiring that I could move and plumbing that I can't, so the soffit stays and the 42" cabinets are a no go.
8:10AM - The first cabinet is hung!!
The garage is a staging area for the trash and debris that has to be cut down and slowly disposed of in our weekly trash pickup.
7:00PM - 12 hours of work later minus lunch and dinner breaks and a trip to Lowes and The Home Depot. The counter tops are removed except for the sink area and the kitchen is ready for day 2. Tomorrow I will install the base cabinets which involves removing the plumbing under the sink and redoing that, start on the cabinets to construct the island, remove the chandelier and install track lighting, go to granite place to pick out the granite and schedule the measurement.....
Next will be finding and installing cabinet hardware, picking and installing the hardwood floors, picking out stainless steal appliances, installing backsplash tile, painting, installing baseboards and trim and..........
