We started unboxing cabinets today and got the first three installed on the corner wall. The first one went in easier than expected. Then we remembered that we had forgotten the shims to bring it to a perfect vertical against our perfectly unvertical wall! So, we backed out the screws, inserted a shim and tightened things back up.
The second cabinet gave us fits, since we had to drill the mounting screws at an angle, which pulled the cabinet out of alignment when tightened. We finally got it in to our satisfaction, again with a shim between the wall and the back of the cabinet.
By dinner time, we had the third cabinet installed with the doors back on.
We'll install the pull bars later, after more cabinets have been installed. We did an inventory and appear to be missing some items, such as the panel above the top of the window. The microwave shelf alignment depends on this panel, so we are holding off on that part of the installation until the missing piece arrives. Meanwhile, we plan to start installing the lazy susan base cabinet in the corner on Thursday.
