Kitchen Cabinet Installation Video

Bob meets with Charlie who has all the cabinets in place except for a final one that will go on one side of the new Thermador range. Charlie explains that when installing the cabinets Jimmy first determines the high point in the floor since old houses tend to be out of level. Then he draws a level line across the wall from the high point and shims the cabinets up so that the tops correspond with the level line. The shims will later be hidden by a toekick. Then he installs the cabinets centering the sink base on the wall and working his way across. The cabinets are fastened together with the doors off by driving screws through from one stile to the next. The doors are put on after the cabinets are installed. Next Charlie and Bob work on installing the final cabinet, checking for plum and level and shimming where necessary. Charlie drills a hole through the back of the cabinet and into a stud and drives a screw in to secure it in place.
