This week was spent cutting, assembling, leveling and squaring the base we are creating under many of our base cabinets. 70Hack likes a taller-than-standard counter height so we built a base from OSB and 2x4s. These pictures show the progression of the base construction. More than a few hours went into putting the base together and shimming it level. In the end it is worth it, we set three cabinets on the base last night, they fit right and sat square to each other.
Like the window, we hope to install the base cabinets with no shimming.
To the right of the drawer-unit goes our range and coming out of the screen will be the refrigerator.
The other side of the kitchen is slated for cabinets too, but those will be at the standard height so no base construction. Those we will have to shim and adjust to sit level.
We won't set the wall cabinets for a little while, we have to finish the ceiling with joint compound and paint.
The counter top manufacturer comes Monday to measure, so all the base cabinets and appliances will be in place by Sunday.
