Evening all,
I finished the drawers for my parents kitchen awhile ago, but just got
around to installing them along with some drawer fronts. Working on a
kitchen 3 hours at a time two days a week makes for a long project....
I never did figure out how the Blum full extension drawer slides were
supposed to work according to any instructions I could find, so I just built
a box and then dead reckoned how to build the drawer based on real
measurements.

I went to install two drawers in a cabinet and noticed, opps, guess what is
missing?

Ayup, forgot the centre divider... Pocket screws to the rescue.

I have some of the doors and fronts on now, notice the door on the far
right, it opens to a full height lazy susan. It is one piece top to bottom,
it just looks like there is a separate drawer on top.

Another 100 years and I will be done :).

Oh, I thought you said that was the final color, and her choice. I ran
to the bathroom and threw up after hearing that. =:/

Excellent! (P.S: There's but one "m" in "coming", you colourful guy.)

Yah, yah, yah...
On another wall, there is an even worse-er test patch of what was supposed
to be some sort of green, but looks more like washed out battleship grey
primer.
Paint is comming, as is tile...
> Man, kitchens are a LOT of work, aren't they? Gluck!
You can say that again, this one will be celebrating its second aniversery
soon...

Man, kitchens are a LOT of work, aren't they? Gluck!

Didn't you see his picture of them in the wooden box he made?
(That cracked me up, the savvy Ironmonger.)

Very, very nice.
If I were your parents, or any client, waiting for such great cabinets I
would just sit back and watch the master at work. IOW, I'm of the opinion
they'll be worth the wait.
