Okay, what we're up to now is installing our big pantry cabinet and all the tower
cabinets that are associated with that. Tools that we're going to use are the
drill driver, we need to drill some holes where we're joining cabinets to cabinets
and also where we're going to join our whole range of cabinets to the wall going
in to the studs as normally because that's where all our strength is.
We have an impact driver to drive those screws in. We've got a container of
various screws of different lengths. Rubber mallet for a bit of persuasion here
and there if we need to. We've got clamps to hold our cabinets together when we're
screwing them together. Our obligatory tape measure, pencils, straight edge as
well, we've got our big level.
Our first task is to bring our big 900 millimeter pantry cabinet in, and I've got
my good mate, Matt, to help me bring that in. What we have to do first because of
the position of this cabinet against our wall here, we've got an architrave against
the wall as well, we need to install an in-panel which will bump the cabinet out a
little bit. That'll give room for the door that's here to swing
and also room for that handle. And it needs to come out 20 millimeters past the
front here. The reason we have that 20-millimeter little reveal here,
that's for the thickness of the door, okay. Because the door will end up sitting
flush with that surface there. Lock one clamp on there. And I'll just use a tape
measure and confirm those measurements. A good 20 millimeters,
so now we need to use some screws to attach the end panel to our carcass here
of the pantry. Now, what I'm going to use here is a countersink
bit for drilling to join the two cabinets together.
So we're about to start pre-drilling our screw holes. A handy tip,
so that you don't see the screw heads here where we're attaching the two boards
together. If you locate where the hinges are actually attached,
you can put the screw, drill a hole there, put the screw in the middle of that and
then when we install those hinges later, you won't see that at all.
So this special little drill bit is a countersink bit. So it'll pre-drill
through both bits of material and it always has a little angle
on there to basically bury the head of that screw so it's nice and flush.
Now we'll start putting the screws in using our Corvus screwdriver.
Okay, now we've attached our end panel to our big 900-millimeter pantry carcass.
I'll just get my good mate, Matt, to come in and we'll lift that in and sort of
squeeze and shimmy it into the corner ready to be fixed in there.
Get that in there. Okay, we've got this big fellow into the corner now.
I'll just need to make sure it's all level, I'll grab the big spirit level.
Because of the overall size of this, we actually level it up through all the big
flat surfaces. Okay, we need to make sure it's vertical properly this way and also
left to right. I'm just going to put it in the back there. And, so that's perfect
this way. Just on the parallel of the wall, I just need to make a minor
adjustment. Let's make that down a touch. The cabinets have adjustable feet
on all four corners, so I'm just adjusting those. I just wind up
and down just so we get a nice vertical level surface.
The other thing I want to make sure of is that the four adjustable feet are actually
contacting the floor as well. Because we're leaning it against the wall,
one of the ones at the back may not even be on the floor there.
So I'm just going to have a quick peek underneath, make sure they're all there.
Marvelous. Next step in this process is to bring all the rest of our tall cabinets
in, start joining them all together so we can then fix it to the wall.
Let's get going. We've got our big wall out on the tower in and we need to attach
that to our big pantry. But I also need to make sure that I still got that 20
millimeter reveal there for the doors from the pantry. So I'll just measure up and
then clamp up, etc. We'll screw all that together. That's about 20 millimeters.
Clamp that up. I'll just check down the bottom as well. Marvelous.
Okay, now let's get to drilling some holes and putting some screws in.
So our big pantry is now attached to our wall oven tower. We can remove the clamps.
Next thing I want to do is I'm just going to grab the level and just ensure that I'm
still okay there. Lovely. Yep, very good. Now, what I want to do is attach all that
cabinetry to the studs, the timber studs in the wall that are behind it.
So remember, we measured how far the stud was from the wall, but we have to also
make sure, as a great tip here, is we've got the thickness of the cabinetry here as
well. So we have our measurement, we'll subtract that thickness from there.
And that's how far I need to measure in from the inside of that cabinet.
So I'll do that now. And also because I'm going to put two fixings in there,
and I know that the studs behind that wall are vertical, I'll use my spirit level to
make that other line there so to give me that second mark. Just there.
And that's complete. That's how we attach our pantry cabinet to the wall.
