Hi Guys,
I am just wondering if building kitchen base cabinets in place is a crazy idea or not...
Years ago, before I had any real woodworking skills beyond house building carpentry work, I built the base cabinets in our kitchen in place (along with the rest of the house from the ground up But that is a different story...).
Several years ago I bought the property next door, which has a ranch style house on it that I have been renovating in my spare time as a retiree. I bought the property to ensure that an undesirable would not end up living there, if you know what I mean.
Now i am getting close to worrying about what to do in the kitchen. Don't have to start tomorrow but I like to think about things before I get to them.
I will build the upper cabinets in my shop and hang them as is the normal case. But my gut feeling is that I might be better off building the base units in place. I know this is not the commercial way to do things.
Is this a crazy idea? It worked pretty well for me the first time...when my skill level was much less than it is now. Does anyone ever do this?
Appreciate your thoughts and experience!
Bill
