Cabinets

March 23rd, 2009 . by Cary

A while ago I mentioned that I was working on some cabinets for a remodel project. Saturday I got to the assembly portion (the customer would not be ready for the cabinets until this week; they hadn’t picked out the new faucets as of Sunday morning…) so I figured I would start taking pictures.

Start of the assembly of the first cabinet (a drawer bank):

Bottom in place:

Frame is on:

While I was putting the frame on, I managed to curl a 1″ wire brad through the face:

It’s kind of tough to see the nail. Next, I got to practice my “make it disappear” skills:

Today I will be staining the frames, doors, and drawer fronts; installation is scheduled for Wednesday and I will be sure to get lots of pictures from that, too.

As a side note, at my nephew’s wedding about a month ago I was weighing in at around 230. In the photos all you can see of me is my huge gut.

who are those people with Cary's gut?

This inspired me to cut out my favorite soda beverage (and, I might add, my last source of caffeine) Coca Cola about two weeks ago. I weighed myself on Sunday morning before I headed for church. 214. Cool. I’m going to keep watch and see how low that will go…

How was your weekend?

Chat ya later…

    Unfortunately, there’s a REASON I am the Bloviating ZEPPELIN. I’ll allow you to figure out that part.

    Uh-huh. Well, I know that I’m just not comfortable at the weight I was for the wedding, and just since I quit the cola I feel much better. TMBWitW says I look better, too… and that’s ALWAYS a plus!

    Very true. Once I shake this cold I’m going back to 24 Hour Fitness.

    I’ll be there with you in spirit, BZ. For now, walks around the block and chasing the two year old are enough exercise for me!
