Cabinets

Tim has been wanting the cabinet that will be next to the oven built because he wanted to see how the oven electrical would hook up. So while he was wandering around the house last night looking lost, I pulled out the box for the cabinet. It was a huge and heavy box since it is a corner cabinet with a lazysusan. I am excited to be able to have this type of cabinet. What I was not expecting when I moved the box was a stinking huge spider. Spiders and Sarah do not get along. Tim was trying to get it out of the garage instead of killing it. The spider ran under the other cabinet boxes and then disappeared. While I was standing holding the cabinet box, Tim said that the spider was next to my foot. Talk about freaking out. Tim did finally kill it.

Anyways, we brought in the cabinet box and laid it on the living room floor. We do not really have a whole lot of room to build cabinets. I like the color of the cabinets. Of course, the corner cabinet is one of the harder ones to build. I think it rates up there with the drawers. Took us about an hour to put it together. The instructions that they came with are horrible. They just showed pictures no written instruction. There was also a bunch a screws tossed in a bag. The "instructions" was labeled with A, B, and so forth. But none of the pieces were labeled. Took some time trying to figure out what piece was what.

All said and done, I do like the cabinet and the color. We ordered cabinets online because they came out cheaper. I really wanted dark kitchen cabinets. We looked at Home Depot preassembled cabinets, but they would have put us way over budget. Also, ordering online gave us more options on sizes and styles which was nice. We saved quite a bit of money ordering online. There had to be some compromises. I really wanted a wall oven, but a cabinet for wall oven is like $1000. Way to much. So no wall oven even though I really like them.

Will post pictures soon of the cabinets.


In other news, we are almost out of the inside of our old house. There is just a few beds and what I did not pack of my kitchen stuff. We will be out of the inside this weekend. The outside is a different story. At least the owners are working with us on getting the stuff out of the yard. There are two tractors, a carport, a shed, and few grills and who knows what else. We hopefully will have all that gone in another month.
