Finally got around to doing some cabinets

I got up early to get to Lowes.  My nearest Lowe's is around an hour away, and it is in Amherst, which quickly gets very busy with traffic, so I headed up early.  I went to Lowe's because they are cheaper, in stock, and they are actually oak, not fiberboard like the ones at Home Depot.  The only thing I don't like is that they only come with one shelf.

The sunrise was quite pretty.


I got enough cabinets to get started.  I didn't get all the ones I needed, but enough to start getting the kitchen cleaned up.  I don't really like how I ended up strapping them in, but they all got home undamaged. 


The wall cabinets are installed.


The tops lined up nicely.


The bottoms notsomuch.  They were lined up with a clamp, but apparently I didn't clamp it tight enough.  Even though oak is an excellent wood for cabinets, I apparently need better drill bits.  I almost melted one of my bits drilling pilot holes to fasten the cabinets together.


The base cabinet actually goes next to the fridge, but since I can't unpack the totes yet, this is just sitting here.  I will probably leave it where the dishwasher


Tomorrow is the super bowl, so I might go up and get the rest of the cabinets in the morning from a different Lowes if I get up early enough.  There is one in Concord that is isn't too much further. 

Something else I noticed is that my computer is telling me it is time to upgrade.
