" These are European cabinets. We visited the showroom a few weeks ago and they really are crafted much like furniture is crafted. In fact, in Germany and other European countries, they often take the cabinets with them when they move from one house to another and what you see along here are all the different units that will be receiving granite countertops. In fact, we're going to put the granite on this one a little bit later. But right now, we'll talk will talk with Pat Malone who's helping us by installing them. Hi, Pat."
" -How are you doing Bob?"
" -How is it going? These are very, very simple to install, right?"
" -Yes, they are."
" -You basically just putting some screws in the side there to hold them together."
" -Plant them together."
" -But there's really, there's no scribing involved."
" -No. No scribing at all."
" -Not much of."
" -The beauty of this is the self-leveling legs."
" -Right. These are cast plastic and there're self leveling, which means that you put the whole box in place."
" -Right."
" -And if your floor is out a little bit."
" -You just."
" -You just. Here, let me give you a hand."
" -And this wall is in pretty good condition. It's nice and straight. You don't have to worry about scribing it back there."
" -This one is already been even leveled so all you have to do is align one box with the other."
" -At that critical point along the front. And again, you just lower the leg."
" -Until it meets the ones in the back We'll access it with a long screwdriver, so we don't have to crawl underneath the cabinet."
" -To get to it. Yeah."
" -So, now you put another screw in between these 2 units."
" -One faces up."
" -And what about the back? Don't you have to fasten them to the wall?"
" -These are pinned to the wall, one in each cabinet on each end and the middle one just floats attached to the twin cabinets."
" -So, there's no where for them to go. Right?"
" -Nope."
" -Boy, that's the beauty of it. Well, how about putting the doors and the drawers in place. These European hinges just snap right on? Don't they?"
" -Uh huh."
" -And what about the drawers? "
" -Okay, I just wanna, okay. That's good."
" -Let me get the rest of them. It's really a piece of cake. All the components go together so easily and the last important piece, which hides those adjustable legs, is the toe kick and it's essentially a laminated board that, how do these things work, this plastic cups?"
" -These are cups that hold it to the adjustable legs."
" -So you slide them, right back up against the legs. Okay."
" -And then we'll slide them to left and right and mark them."
" -Oh yeah, nothing to it. There you go."
