Scooter likes the trip to Sam's Club too! This was a box the boston butts came in. He thought it was perfect for sleeping out of the wind. Maybe I need to make him a cedar box to sleep in.
ANYWAY!!!!! We finally have more progress to share. A snoop around Craigslist got Terry thinking about kitchen cabinets again and we decided to go and price cabinets. At one store, for two base cabinets, it was going to be $600 for finished white cabinets. We went to a discount builders store and got unfinished birch cabinets with plywood shelves for $500 for 2 base cabinets and 4 wall cabinets. SO this weekend we dismantled part of the kitchen.
After much stress with painting, we were ready to install the wall cabinets. Terry had never hung cabinets before so this was an interesting process..........hahaha.
He actually did quite well with only having to adjust the cabinets once.
Level and plumb!
Cabinets are in all but the lazy susan for the corner on the floor. We have some questions about it still. Off to Lowe's to get knobs and pulls for the drawer.
I like the house to be fairly clean so having the kitchen throw up all over the rest of the house was stressful!
Putting the doors on. The handles and paint finish as well as the pattern on the door are all very old fashioned looking. That is what a cabin should be like.......right?
One wall nearly complete! Hopefully the corner cabinet will go in tomorrow and then we will be able to get the next two cabinets with this week's paycheck.
It has been 18 months of living in the house with shelves for cabinets. It sure looks funny in here! haha I will get better pictures after the corner cabinet goes in..........in a $1000 we might have counter tops, too!
