Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project
Installing Affordable Kitchen Cabinets VideoBob is in the kitchen of one of the Mashpee, Massachusetts, affordable homes where the kitchen cabinets are being installed. Bob is joined by Jim Wagoner of Falmouth Lumber to go through the basics of cabinet layout and installation. Wagoner explains that the doors of the cabinets are removed before the boxes are installed. The first step is to check the boxes for plumb and level, shimming if necessary, before installing. After they are installed, the molding goes on, and the cabinets doors are installed and adjusted. Bob looks at the hanging cabinet installation that is made much easier with the cabinet clamps that hold the cabinet boxes in place, together, tight, and flush. These clamps also prevent drilling through the face frame. Solid wood top and bottom rails make installation easy using color-coordinated screws that blend with the wood. Bob comments on the cost of cabinet installation, which can be reduced with careful planning of the boxes to avoid costly customization. The middle island is made of three standard boxes that will be finished across the back with a panel door and molding to finish exposed edges.
