Hey guys, I guess you’re going to not see everything that we had to go through to get this done. But we are putting it together, stitching the wood together. So go there you go. I’m back.

Well, we have another little project job. They want this cabinet to be centered over this stove. This cabinet, this cabinet is 36 inches, stove is 30. So what I’ve done in order to center the cabinet, I made a mark for the center of the cabinet over there, and I made a mark for the center of the stove right here. And then I’m mark for the layout of the studs.

This will be a stud right here, where they fashioned two pieces, grew and measured 16 and that will be another. So, I’ll be able to get at least two screws in there. As you can tell, they were pretty far out of level. This is a four foot level and we’re going to drop it down so that we’re even at the top of those cabinets instead of having a jog.

And then we’ve got to run a a wire up in here about two and a quarter inches above and then go through the back and come in here to feed this. So that’s what we’re up to.

This has a screw right here that takes this cover you notice this is a little tab. So once you take a screw off, they’ll be able to get where the wire goes into this.

And we’re probably going to try to go through that back instead of going through the cabinet. If we can cut drywall and stuff like that and go overtopping and put this over top of it and connect to the hot there and the neutral there, kind of ground on the left, then we’ve got to get a bulb. Yeah. And put out the screws.

I’m not sure this, but for a minor. Yeah. They want us watching Mount right here onto the cabinets and, and slide it on. So we’ll take you through it. Yeah.

The screws aren’t going to be in the same place. This line right here, the center of this cabinet go right there. And stay on that line. That’s I’ll just leave those in there because I got to fill the hole in it.

All three ensure that, yeah. You can let go of that. about it and we’re well right there. Inch and a half. And no that won’t be long enough. I’m hoping that when we come back we’re going to grab for you. No, no, no, no. But I did. We checked everything we’re going to I’m going to put some sealant on that one in the middle of the wall just to make sure, but we checked everything several times.

So it’s good to be alert, good to be worried. And then I went asleep and I went, everybody, I have all my young kids in here and I was dying because everybody was dying because the gas. Yeah, well, we just got to working on a house over in Springdale. It had holes… Just put it in here. Nothing there. Had anything. You got to cabinet it maybe on two foot centers? I mean I don’t have a and the joist is are real far apart. Real far more than joists are.

So maybe the frame is to we shall see shortly. Yeah. Two foot centers. Another one I think I missed on that. Well, it looks really close like. It hit here. Ok, I need another screw or two. It ain’t going nowhere. I don’t have one here. I heard about that. Huh? That is solid.

Right now. Five and a quarter. We’re measuring the depth here, but the hole needs to be right there. About five and a quarter hooks, three quarters an inch down. And how much? How far? You’re going to be measure, so you need to find the center. And 15 and 29 and three-quarter. So, no pencil, no lines. I got one of them somewhere around here. My goodness, I have three on me and Mark, find your center where you and then go back to it.

And you know what? I can calculate half of 29 and 3/4 I can’t. It’s a quarter inch less than 15. So that will be 14 and 3/4 seven and three quarters over from the center, three quarters down. Okay. Oh, the ground. So the elastic, they kind of from there and my son-in-law Brown. Three quarters. That’s what we’ve got to get to of.

But now, this center over here, this is the end of the cabinet, of the hood vent. So, ya, we’ll have to open up go over here and then I’ll have to cut a hole with a keyhole saw there and in reality we could. She’s going to need, we got a keyhole. So there’s a side of the stud here the keyhole saw up here so you get your little hand in that layer and take a bigger hole.

Now we have drill over and we have a hole up here that we’re going to cut out. And then push it through. for us.

So far we’ve done a lot of work and didn’t have the camera going, so apologize. But to drill a hole through the two by here fished it up into this area. We had a hole up in here, where we could get our hand up in and then fished it over to here, which is where the junction box is.

So all that is all those holes are covered up by this area. And this one, we put a piece of plywood in there, a piece of wood, and then screwed it off so that we can finish that out or they can let it come. You want to do as much as I can do to save money. So the wiring is the covering back on the wires in there, lights on, fans on.

And we just got to clean up the dust. Not that there’s that project. We’re on to another project next, great big adventure.
