Hanging Out & On

Look at what is 'hanging' out or should I say 'hanging on'? 


We worked until 12:30 am this morning getting these fine cabinets installed. 


The Uppers Are Installed!


I have to say "we" loosely because SuperMoto worked his bageezer off and I read a lot and assisted when it was time to do the hard labor. Well, I did mow but that is a story that you already know about so I am going to give up the mowing sob story in lieu of talking about the upper installation. 

We started to figure out the uppers the day before yesterday. Turns out, as all things have that we have some challenges. This EuroStyle cabinet doesn't have the frame to hide the undermount lights so SuperMoto had to rewire the wall at the last minute to accommodate them in a different manner. There are going to be four transformers hidden in upper spaces, some in cabinets and some in cubbies so there were challenges with wiring and outlets there as well. 


Then there was the fact that the top of the cabinets are out there in mid air without a ceiling to mask them. From the landing above you look right down on this space and would be able to have a keen view of the perfections or imperfections of the height and alignment in general of the cabinets. Not to mention how heavy they are and how hard it was getting them into place to secure them on the wall. Super Moto made a little stand that was close to the height of the cabinets that we lifted each one onto and that carried the weight of the cabinets while we fussbudget around and got them level and straight and all that mandatory stuff. 


We are behind schedule and happy that what we have accomplished looks good and is done right. Now if only we could achieve looks good and done right faster....that would be grand.
