Kitchen Remodel: Cabinet Installation Part I

Today the long awaited event began -- the installation of our red oak quarter-sawn Shaker style kitchen cabinets. Paul put on a quick coat of Sherwin Williams Porcelain (SW 0053) before they came (they arrived at 7:30am). We were really impressed with the two installers, really nice guys who seemed to know what they are doing. They didn't finish today, so they will be back at 7:30 come this Monday morning. The Corian guy who will make the counter top template can't come until Wednesday. But so it goes...progress!

The cabinet maker's installers arrive!

Work begins!

Piecing it all together...

Our 17lb cat Veto inspects the work...
...from where he shouldn't be...
...where the counter top will be!

The refrigerator will go in the middle...
...we feel that we made the right decision to buy a cabinet depth refrigerator...
...so all the cabinets on this wall will be the same depth...
