Hey gang,
I'm thinking on whipping up some new kitchen cabinets, nothing fancy, but they're needed in a hurry. The LOML doesn't know about these, but I'm thinking about knocking a set of base cabinets together, along with installing a 'new' dishwasher. I'm thinking on just using 1/2" borg ply with maple face frame and simple flat panel doors (her preferred style). The cabinets they're replacing are 3/8" ugly paper faced particle board.
I'm going to see if a friend of ours will loan me her garage so I can do a blitz cutting of all of the panels and pieces next weekend. I'm going to figure out a rough estimate for the maple involved for the face frames and doors today. I will be driving past an excellent lumber yard tomorrow, and if I can pick it up for a good price, I will get 100bf or so. I'll just have to bring along a tarp to go with the ratchet straps which live in the truck.
