House Project 3: Installing Cabinets

Well, the next step in putting the house together was to get some cabinets in there! Kind of an important feature in a kitchen...

We found this great mail-order site for cabinets, and the pictures looked really nice, so in the interest of saving money, we thought we'd take a gamble and try them out. It tured out to be a good thing, since they not only looked great, but were about 1/3 of the price of the cheapest "discount wholesale dealer" in town.
So within a week of ordering them, we got a call from the shipping company saying that they had about 17,000 lbs of cabinets waiting for us to come pick them up! (We got free shipping if we had them delivered to a certain place in Phoenix). Just the boxes alone took up the entire front room! It was insane!

By the way, we have some fantastic friends that came out and made the experience far more enjoyable and helped us get it done very quickly!
