Day 64: More Cabinets

(Saturday July 9, 2011)

Garden Girl's parents were visiting today half way through their annual drive from Vancouver to Winnipeg and Kenora. They helped assemble the last 5 cabinets. I rented a table saw and also had some fun customizing some of them, especially for the weird wedgeshaped corner. We did a surprising amount of work for what looks like a limited amount of progress. Garden Girl and her mom assembled all of the drawers and we cut all of the large trim pieces. We stopped with I started arguing with my mother-in-law about the best way to cut down the large panel for the back of peninsula and the other one for the side of fridge. Clearly we had both had way too much coffee. Here are some pictures of the progress at the end of the day. 

Some drawers installed:

With some major help from my inlaws, the peninsula is now in place, but not bolted down yet.

And my super snazy custom wedge shaped cabinet with the peninsula in the foreground.

I went a little crazy and even cut the shelf to the same angle

Next it's time for doors and drawers, plus a couple more cabinets. The only problem, it's July 9th and we're leaving on a 3 week trip east in one week! We were supposed to have had the counters measured for by then, but I guess that will have to wait until we get back on August 1st!.
