The cabinets are in!


Around the second month after we owned the Beacon Fixer Upper, we had figured out how we were going to do the kitchen. About a week after that, all the cabinets arrived and were sitting sat in storage just waiting for us. A couple weeks before our final deadline to move, I called off work and installed all the cabinets as a surprise for the Missus. It was such a grand sight to see them all set up and ready for countertops. Those last couple weeks saw one major project after another completed almost every day. This was one of the big ones. 






Kitchen Cabinet amendment

One of the missing components the previous owners of this house never had, was heating ventilation into the laundry room. If you remember, this was the room annihilated by termites, and had to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. So while we were working on that, we cut a vent into the room and had our HVAC contractor run ductwork. Since the floor is concrete in that room, he ran it through the wall. With that wall being the back of the kitchen, I cut out the back of the cabinet to accept the ductwork and reinforced the floor with spare shelf wood. 

Like a glove.
