" Just outside the shower area where we'll have a lavatory and a toilet. Pocket door goes here and then we have an area with a regular vanity with a sink in another area with which is -- have a bench and some cubbies for storage and two small closets I think that when you look at an apartment like this and you're calling -- getaway apartment you don't think about seasons. Wardrobes being stored you just think about you know arriving maybe with a weekend bag and having enough room to keep a few things but because you're you're ready to bring in -- the other components for. The vanity cabinet and brad this is an unusual cabinet in that it."
" So if it floats. Right yes it is floating twelve inches off of the floor and that's what necessitated all of the extra wood. Backing on the wall so Ernie what were the -- problems you encountered when you start I mean you've got so many little holes in the wall and markings that obviously there must have been a problem. There was we've found studs but then digging with the screwdriver we also found out Bob. That there were pipes back there and we -- not want to go into the pipes yeah the stud finder will not differentiate between a metal stud and a and a tight so you didn't want to take the risk of puncturing one of the pipes and so what have you done instead. We put these brackets on the sides the horizontal one. And then the vertical one going down at an angle that'll support the full weight of the cabinets going across this plus you got a full cleat along the backside yes and they'll be an opening of almost a foot. Underneath yes great let's talk about the construction of the box here. Because we've alluded to it a minute ago India and in the kitchen but the way these pieces are also going to the there aren't any clips or plastic or screws threat right you can see from looking at the outside of the cabinet and many cabinets that are built today you'll see screws or some type of -- fastener. That will be shown from the outside but with less care what they do is they have a dowel that is. Between the two pieces of -- decide on the rail and that is a glued in dowel that is very strong much stronger than -- your typical screw. What about the hardware router -- These drawer slides are from manufacturer called Islam and their under mount slides full extension just -- pulls the drawer completely outside of the cabinet. And they're also completely underneath the drawer. Itself. And as you see. Underneath here you do not. See the slides from the outside it fits underneath very nice OK let -- stop asking questions so that we can put these things together. That's perfect because when it was first. See we have relief. Plumbing pipes cut right around for the hot and cold water to drain line. -- and all the rough work. That's. OK let's put all the drawers and it's also -- good idea when you pull drawers Marcos. Yes they know where they're going back in. What time. Again Formica gives us a -- wide range of colors. Well there's always fun to watch. These guys into an all time snap them right in place. There you go. Nice job and we're still work waiting on a counter thanks guys get."
