Newb to show cabinets

[pinkerton]

Hello all - just wanted to post some photos of my cabinet install.

Has anyone else mounted these on the wall? I feel like it's quite a load on the studs.

Must comment in the floor. Nice choice. Care to share color and process?

They do look nice.

Yeah - sometimes I go out just to see the floor. Color is 2 parts (6 gallons) of "wine red" and one part (three gallons) of "orange gold".

I acid etched (only because I couldn't rent a diamabrush in my podunk town)
Then laid down black primer thinned by water (regret thinnning)
Then randomly poured each 3 gallon kit
Then rolled, rolled, rolled, and rolled too long (and got some weird lines and marks)
Sanded a day later and rolled on urethane

It was too hot (95+) when I did it, so that impaired me a bit, caused some of the roller marks

Overall I'm still happy

The cabinets look great. Any problems hanging them from the wall? Did you use the NewAge brackets or just lag bolt them into the studs? What's the counter top height?

Thanks for the input. I get lots of people asking questions, the best information is directly from the customers.
Did you get help moving the cabinets around and installing them?
I tell customers to get their neighbors and family together buy the beer and pizza to help unload and install the cabinets.

Loading the studs is not a problem, it's the shear strength of whatever fasteners you used that is tested.

Undertsood/agree - still good to hear someone else say it (thanks)

Nice work! The cabinets and floor both look great.

No problems hanging. I did not use brackets, just lagged them in. I should point out that my method of locating studs includes penetrating the drywall with a finish nail in several places to definitively find each edge of the stud. Then I'm sure to get the lag screw in the middle of the stud.

I'm taller than most, so their about 14.5" off the floor for a 48" work top height.

I got no help, none. My wife is dangerous and my kids are off to college. I set the cabinets using a scrap 2x12 about 5' long. Just set the board on a floor jack, like a ramp, then walked the large locker onto the board until I could balance it, then worked it into position. It wasn't too hard, just needed to take time and be careful.

Holy floor. That is beautiful!!

Why didn't I think of that. I like the newage cabinets but I don't like the space under them, hard to keep clean. I was going to build a solid base with no holes so set them in. I must look into hanging them. Good job.

Here's some information on mounting your cabinets to the wall with lag bolts.
