whew - after way too many hours, these cabs are out of the house and in the site. spent all day today dialing them in with the fantastic help of samer. there was kicking, beating, sweating, and bleeding going on; but they eventually relented.
and just as i imagined, they are looking good. maybe even better than i imagined. there was some weird problem with the right side door not closing. but after an eleventh hour adjustment of the hinge with a screw driver, it all worked out. lots of soft closing doors and tight handled drawers.
the amazing thing about the new cabs is that it actually changed the whole feel of the room, we all agreed on that. essentially one under-the-eve-area that was used for ad hoc storage is now an entire wall of bespoke drawers, doors, and storage. its like it was a bathroom makeover at a fraction of the cost of a new bathroom. pretty cool and actually unexpected from me. i'm new to this!
so now the only thing left to do is cut, stain, and install the top shelf. i wanted all the cabs in place before finishing this last step so that the measurements would be absolutely spot on. once we have that dark stained oak with the oak handles nesting into them, its going to look pretty tight.
stay tuned...
