Started the build.

[Darrel]

Thoughts and prayers that they will find it fixable. 

[fishfighter]

Thanks guys. I did hang a set of the doors.

Having trouble posting a picture.

[fishfighter]

Did get the rest of the top cabinets sprayed.


Still fighting to post pictures. One can't add any text once one copies and paste. Have to mod a post to do so.

Icon's will not post too!

[Magicman]

Those cabinets are looking good Paul. 

Also the picture thing will be easier after you watch the videos.  It's the same, except different, but better.  ;D

[fishfighter]

Still fighting it. My puter is not happy. Did a clean up and reboot. No help there.

Anyway, got all the draws finished and sprayed. Was going to start spraying the bottom cabinets today, but way to much rain.

[Darrel]

I keep peeking in to see how things are going.  Hoping things are going as good for you as they are for this kitchen.

Pretty soon you're going to have to change the name of this story to Completed the build.

fishfighter,your computer is not happy?  :(  I have a Dinosaur and this thing is never happy. Refreshed kept The Dinosaur from eating me in all one bite. The refesh button helped me out.

Looks like you have come a long way. Starting to get ship shape. Keep plowing.

[fishfighter]

Still have a long way to go. Just not in a hurry. Will be dry enough today to spray the bottom cabinets. Once I get that done, I have to rip up more oak boards and plane them down to make the doors for the bottom cabinets. Hope to start on that today. I rough saw them on my mill, so that gives me a chance to fire it up.

My stock pile of oak is starting to get low. Got a couple oak logs that need to be sawed up, but the boss will not let me.

[fishfighter]

Did get this done today.



Sprayed it, install the draw rails which took to around 1pm. Had to call it a day. So much for want I wanted to do today.

[Magicman]

Hey, I am glad to see you at least making some progress.  Small steps add up. 

[fishfighter]

I was able to resaw some rough oak boards up for the lower cabinet door frames yesterday. Sawed them up on the band saw. From there, I edged one side on the joiner and then planed them all out. Then I had cut them to the sizes of the door frames. Bad thing, my SIL needed to use my biscuit joiner for a job, so I couldn't put them together. He should finish with it today. Besides I was ready to call it a day. Was hurting to much.

This morning I'm going in for that shot in my neck. Just hope it helps relive the pain I been having. Wish me luck. 

[Darrel]

I've seen it repeatedly that things get worse for a day or two after those shots so if that is what happens for you, don't get discouraged, it will get better. Hang in there, the forestry forum family is pulling for you. 

[fishfighter]

Still taking it easy. Not much relief. Had to get up out of bed at midnight.

[Darrel]

Saturday should be a better day. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 

[fishfighter]

Well, I got out yesterday, sawed up the center inserts for the doors, pass them thru the planner and finished them out.





After that, I had to have a few of these.



Going to try and glue them all up today.

[Magicman]

Looking good Paul.  Steady as she goes.  

[fishfighter]

I did get the doors all glued up.



With the outstanding weather we been having that spring came early, yard work time. So, we been attacking that the better part of the weekend. Still have a bunch to do.

[fishfighter]

A cool front passed thru last night and all rain was gone by 6am. Got out and painted the cabinet doors. 4 coats on each side. Nice using a spray gun.

[Magicman]

Yup, we will have a few nice working days this week and those cabinet doors are looking good.  I'll be sawing about 75 miles East of you.   ;D

[fishfighter]

What town and what days? If you are sawing Thursday, I would like to drive out your way. Dang doctor day today in Baton Rouge for my neck and another Friday in New Orleans for my heart. The second one, they called and told me things have been happing that shouldn't. Tried to tell them I been in a lot of pain with my neck. They still what to check me out.

Lynn, you should have some nice cool weather to saw in.

[fishfighter]

Now it is time to decide if a change will be made to the upper cabinets. To stay the way they are or take out the center cabinets that are over the stove area and replace that area with a custom built exhaust hood that will be built out of oak as the cabinets.

All doors are done and this is what the top cabinets look like now.

  

[Darrel]

Exhaust hoods are fine as long as they are high enough so that one doesn't knock his head whilst looking in the pot on the stove. Otherwise, we hates'um!  

[fishfighter]

I think I will just for go that hood for now. I can always come back in do it. Was also thinking of building it out of copper. The wife loves the way things are, BUT, now she wants a faucet installed on the back wall to the side of the stove area. Would not be hard to do. I already have a water line were the frig area is. I can Tee off that line from under the house and run the line back up.

Got to head to New Orleans today. Another doctor day. It is a battery check up and find out as to why I was taking some hits. My battery life is getting short to were I will have to have a replacement soon. Hate that trip.

This weekend, rain in the forecast. That will give me a good chance to do a complete clean up of the bottom cabinets. I have dust everywhere. Once I get that done, I will spray them. Then hang the draws hardware and the doors. That will finish them. What I had already sprayed, I used up a full gallon. That stuff is costing $50 a gallon, but it sprays out super nice.
