Assembly Cabinets



Am meeting an established customer and assembling some type of cabinet. This is a cabinet off the self bought at the local retail chains. Last year I installed a new over the stove micro wave oven and had to do some custom work on the cabinet to make the micro wave fit.

The newer cabinet now days are designed for a micro wave install. You must have a clearance of 24” from the bottom of the micro-wave to the top of the stove and these dimensions are considered and incorporated with the newer cabinets.

I have no idea what they look like; this appointment was made one week prior. I need to get paint matched for my door and return to the dishwasher/kitchen sink install and finish up.

Job complete.
Job complete 2.5 hours labor
This was an assembly of a four drawer file cabinet made of wood
I used wood glue and calked all inside corners for more strength.
Usually this type of cabinet seem to be flimsy due to manufacturer construction practices.
If extra glue and calk are used they seem to hold up better.
