How I spent my Sunday

[Brad Smith]

Before

After

Aside from several cuts, scrapes and other injuries (working by myself so had to handle everything alone) I was happy with my work.  BTW, those WERE NOT modular cabinets, a carpenter lived there at one time and that was all real wood, nice wood and all built in.  It was an all day task but I think it looks way better.

Wife and I talked about reinstalling the cabinets at ceiling height but I like it much better being open like this. What do you think?  I don't think students need anymore cabinet space than what's there now.

The vertical structure at the end of the counter was the screen for the frig but I hope to move the wire hanging down (next to yellow shop light cord) over to the wall to the left and install new receptacle for the frig.  Because the wiring is pretty old, an electrician told me that I could open a can of worms for extending that line which might create the need for lots more than just a j box and more cable.
