Every week I come back to Greensaw Dave and I get closer and closer to finishing the new bathroom cabinets for the bathroom renovation.  This week we set up the cabinets for a dry run, installing them the same way they will be when they are installed onsite.  First we set the cabinets so they were level and square.  Next we began to cut and measure the trim pieces that framed the cabinets.  We did not glue the trim to the cabinets, rather taping them instead to allow us to easily move them and then assemble them on-site.

After that we measured the cabinets and cut the cabinet faces to fit within.  The faces where then flipped and drilled on the inside, allowing us to install the hinge hardware.  Installed 3” from the top and bottom edge the hinges were then installed to the cabinets, connecting the cabinet face to the cabinet itself.

 Through adjustments in the hardware we were able to correct and square the cabinet face to the cabinet.  At the end of the day we were able to install 3 cabinet doors and cut another 2.

At the end of the week we had a preety good understanding of what the cabinets are finally going to look like.  The next step is to look back at the wood samples I did the last couple of weeks and try to pick a finish as to use for the trim for the cabinets.  Dave is trying to find a finish to both match and contrast the color and texture of the cabinet doors.  By next week he is hoping to have the ok from the clients on one the samples so that he can begin to work on the coloring, staining, and finishing of the trim.
