Corner Cabinet Update

Thursday I left off with our new corner cabinet "faked" in.

On Friday night, Mike made a Home Depot run after work, and got started!

We needed to sheet-rock over the holes in the ceiling, that were still hanging around from the bathroom renovation.

I didn't get any good in-progress photos on Friday night,
but here's where we were by Saturday morning:

We also had a hole in the floor, from the removal of the plumbing stack, that needed to be patched.  Easy enough... so we moved on to figure out the placement of support posts in order to raise the cabinet up 9" to match the room's moldings.

Mike build the base to support the cabinet, and we lifted the cabinet up.

Once we had it level (note shim on right side in above photo), 

we secured it to the walls...  just to prevent any chance of tipping 

(these are the kinds of things I get nightmares over!)

Next up was installing a piece of drywall from the top of the cabinet to the ceiling, with the angle matching that of the cabinet.
This hides the little bit of plumbing that couldn't fit into the ceiling.

We also completed one coat of spackling- yay!

I'm thrilled with how it's coming together... 

Next we're going to make molding to match along the base.

And of course, there's going to be spackling & sanding each night... oh the DUST!
