I got up a little before 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. Then it was out to the garage to work on the cabinets.
The whole project seems snake bit. I started to install the doors and misplaced/lost the clip to the lock. That actually turned out to be good. I ended up using locks from the old cabinets. They did need some messing around to make them fit though. That's how a task that should have taken a couple of mintes turns into an hour plus.
Once I got the two cabinets complete I tore down the old cabinet that I took off the wall yesterday. I loaded the pieces into the garden cart. Then I unloaded the second cabinet and took it off the wall. All of that went without any drama. Yeah.
When that was done I carefully measured where the new cabinets would go. Then I cut the shelf above them and removed the part that needed to go. By that time it was 1:30 and time for lunch. Did I mention that it was a steam bath in the garage and had been all morning.
I ate lunch and did a little surfing. Then it was back outside. After some careful measuring and cutting I attached the mounting board to the wall. Then I hung the two new cabinets. I'm proud to say that they fit perfectly. After that I broke down the second cabinet. It took two trips to the garbage can to haul all of the pieces. I did a little cleanup and then called it quits. It was 4:15.
I still have to reload the second cabinet and do a few small tasks before I'm finished. I am happy with the result.
I went inside, surfed and watched videos until dinner. Ellen fixed steaks on the Traeger. After that it was more videos and a little nap. A thunderstorm came through and dumped half an inch of rain. That added to the drizzle we had in the morning.
