Yippee!
Finally, after much planning, work, and scheduling (not to mention diversions that had nothing to do with the LHV!), the Kitchen Cabinets are done* and we have a usable kitchen that we enjoy!
Here is what we started with!
And here are a few ‘glimpses’ of the finished product:
LHV Kitchen Cabinets

We kept the original window on this wall and built the cabinets around it.[img src=https://tomstudwell.com/wordpress/wp-content/flagallery/lhv-kitchen-cabinets/thumbs/thumbs_img_5322.jpg]27150The 'Pantry Wall'
This wall had a pantry that had been overrun with forced air heating ducting! We converted it to an open wall with refrigerator, pantry, and heating/hot water boiler cabinet.[img src=https://tomstudwell.com/wordpress/wp-content/flagallery/lhv-kitchen-cabinets/thumbs/thumbs_img_5326.jpg]26520Heating/Hot water cabinet
Here's what that cabinet looks like opened up. The plumbing in the lower section will be hidden behind a 'pop off' wall.

In case you’re wondering about the two cabinets that don’t have doors, the corner cabinet was built in place so the door was assumed to be custom fitted. The doors for the cabinet over the dishwasher were, uh, ‘overlooked’ in the fab sequence. These two cabs will have doors added next ‘visit’ to LHV…
Notes:
[*] In this case, ‘Done’ means that we won’t need to haul 1000 lbs of material and tools to the LHV to finish it!
