Ikea Kitchen



I'm finally getting around to installing the cabinets. I had heard that it was difficult to put these together but so far it has been fairly easy. It does take some time to make sure everything is lined up and level. The refrigerator is suppose to show up next Wednesday. I'll try to have the cabinets finished by then.

When researching other container home projects I was disappointed in the blogs that seem to drift off towards the conclusion of the projects. I'm beginning to see why. For some reason all the details of finishing the project start piling up. The concrete and framing seem like mile stones in the project but they turn out to be minor steps compared to the work that goes into the job of installing the flooring, the cabinets or painting the trim. Since the garage apartment is just a part of the container house, I'll be getting back to it soon and the updates will be a little more frequent.

Thanks. I'll finish installing the cabinet doors this week and take the protective cover off. It's a brighter red than it looks in this picture.
