I started our kitchen/laundry/powder room remodel on Friday May 22nd, and finished it this evening August 1st! The first 3 weeks I took vacation, but hiring electrical and plumbing meant I could not get serious about putting it back together until the Thursday of the second week-after inspections! I scratch built all the cabinets!

Greg, You did a outstanding job on the work and the cabinets look as good as the ones we bought from Kraftmaid. That is a lot of work, I did our kitchen in 2017 and one of the baths last year. I can relate.

Your work looks really good. But to poke did you build a cabinet for the red step stool as they still go to the ceiling or maybe you've all grown longer arms as the TP looks a long reach from the throne? |

The red stool went away, it was replaced by a ladder! Yes, the TP was mounted before the stool and it is a little far, but not bad! ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |
