When we left things off, Nick had constructed a new base cabinet, but we literally pushed it into place just hours before we hosted a New Year's Eve party, so there were definitely some loose ends to tie up.
Here's how we left things:
Just a couple weeks later the top was already starting to bow, which we expected because it's such a big cabinet. But since we're going to add the weight of a granite countertop we needed to beef up the frame to hold the weight.
So beef up we did.
Nick added 2x4's around the front and back to basically create a header (like you'd find in a doorway) to support the top of the cabinet.
Boom. Instant support. Exactly what this mega-cabinet needs to hold up the weight of a counter top.
Meanwhile, Shalai kept a careful eye on our work. Can't get anything past quality control around here.
Number one - your dog is adorable, I love her facial expression - so nonchalant like she's suppose to be there doing her job.
ReplyDeleteThe cabinet looks great after the "beef up"!
Always so helpful!!
ReplyDeleteAw, I don't think I would mind have such cute, fluffy quality control. I guess Aggie considers herself to be management at our place too. =) Hey, I like your new layout! It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe is thinking, my dog bed would fit nicely in this box!
ReplyDeleteExactly!!
DeleteI think she hopes this is a new dog cave!
ReplyDeleteShe totally does! We had to move her kennel with all the shifting we've done in the kitchen, so I think she's planning to take over the cabinet instead.
