Kitchen Remodel - End of Day 11

Today, for the first time, it started to look like a kitchen again. Put up the remaining wall cabinets and the end angled shelf. Put up the HUGE pantry. I’ll have pictures later with the doors open and show the drawers. We had to take all the drawers out and the doors off of the pantry just to get it to a manageable weight - that sucker is HEAVY! After using muscle to get it into place, we got it plumb and square. The only thing left is the spacer - it’s not quite right, mainly because I’m off about 1/8″ on my end and the wall is off about 1/8″ the other way. That leaves a gap of 1/4″ after the spacer is in place. I’ll have to special cut a spacer for it, I guess. Oh well. With a little luck tomorrow we’ll get the rest of the baseboard cabinets in and then it will be time to get the countertop ordered!! Here’s the progress today:
Cabinet and end shelf Upper part of the pantry Lower part of the pantry and the garbage can drawer Above the window - can you see the spacer?

    Man you HAVE been busy. Must be nice to see some results for your hard labor, and those results are looking good. I’m a total clutz so I admire anyone who do this kind of work. Kudos!

    I don’t know about you, but isn’t it kind of fun doing a home improvement project? And even more satisfying when it is done because there is a piece of you in it since you did the work.

    Looks great!!
