Ikea Kitchen Day 41


IMG_8381
Super big thanks and a fresh basket of good karma to my farther-in-law who spent the best 10 hours of his Sunday helping me put up the rest of the kitchen cabinets.
The cabinet guy had hung the glass cabinets about .75 inches lower than the other wall cabinets, and he had put the base cabinet underneath about a half inch higher. The result was about 12 inches of clearance. Not enough for a coffeemaker.
Ron knows about coffee, so he helped me remove, adjust, and re-hang all of those cabinets. He found replacement material for the back of the glass door cabinets so we wouldn’t have an ugly hole where outlet had moved, and he replaced a missing hanger using a chunk of metal ripped from a mini-blind bracket. It probably would have been fine without that hanger, but I would have cringed every time someone opened the door.
