I’m going to combine a couple days here as I missed updating the Ikea Kitchen Blog yesterday. I’ll show you a little bit of the cabinet install process. Here’s our blank slate where we are going to be adding some cabinets.
Here’s Uncle Jerry and Al hanging the metal rail on to which the cabinets will be installed. Level it and screw it into the studs.
Here’s Jerry attaching the cabinet to the metal rail.
Here’s a shot of a couple cabinets installed on to the metal railing.
Here we’ve added another metal rail along the west wall and popped another cabinet on.
Here’s Al posing in front of the corner wall cabinets. Nice job!
We added some base cabinets as well. Jerry and Al are hard at work dealing with the old drain pipe. While taking it off, it just crumbled in their hands. This was the first big surprise we received in the Ikea Kitchen Install.
Check out all the gunk inside this pipe. Over half the diameter was filled with crud. No wonder it didn’t drain well.
Check out the new Tiffany light fixture. Much better than the old ceiling fan.
Here’s the new track lighting as well. Now we have some serious light to illuminate the kitchen.
Here’s a shot of the base cabinets installed today. Tomorrow we should have all the cabinets in place and installed.
