Day 2535

 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.
