Cabinet placement ........

 

As daddy Dave well knows just because He got a deal on some cabinets that's doesn't mean their gonna fit, some time modifications may be needed to be made for them to work in the intended application. While picking cabinets for the laundry room maximizing space was of concern, we wanted to maximize storage but still be able to move. We chose too use only upper cabniets because they are not as deep allowing for more open sq footage and we weren't concerned with counter top space. Daddy Dave lucked across these extra tall cabinets which should do the trick. First a base was added to lift the cabinets off the floor.

Than another support was built on top to aid when stacking the cabniets......

Than the cabinets were stacked and secured......

Next an additional upper cabinet was added and secured, we could not have an additional lower cabinet because the dry door would need room to open....

On to the other side of the room, another upper was hung, in this pic you can see the unsafe, unprofessional, in practical way in which the cabinets were hosted into place. When your installing cabinets alone you have to improvise. This did work well I just had to make sure the girls were well out of the way.

With the last two remaining cabinets were not a perfect match, one was wider than the other but a side extension was added, that wasn't gonna stop daddy Dave. These cabinets had to be a bit higher than the others being the washer lid needed to clear the cabinets when opened. So again a base was built to bring it to the needed height

Than as the others a top bracket was built to aid in the stacking process.......

Finally they were slid into place.......one of the uppers in this section has an opening section as if to display something. These cabinets tucked in nicely, even with the chimney.

To finish off the cabinets new trim will be added to the top and bottom for a truly costum look as well as a coat of paint most likely. Momma mandys storage space is about to triple.
