Three cabinets down...

Four to go. Later, possibly much later.
I managed to get three of the wall cabinets up today. It was frighteningly easy to install them. We put the dishes back in one and everything seems to be secure. I'm really happy with how this project has gone to this point.
That corner above the stove is making me a little nervous though. I keep finding little and not so little problems. The newest one is that I'm an inch and a half short on the wall with the stove. I've determined that I should be able to cut down one side of the corner cabinet and it will work. From the outside, it should not look any different. My only concern is that I don't have the proper tools to cut the boards correctly. Anyone got an extra table saw??? After Sarah talked to her dad tonight we've decided that it may be best to set up the range hood to filter the air rather than vent it out. It's not ideal, but will meet our needs for now. We can look into some other options in the future.
I'm about "projected" out for this weekend. I'm ready to go to bed. I may continue the project next weekend. We'll see...

The cabinets look nice. That was Dad's suggestion too - to try a ventless filter hood. Take a break-you deserve it.
