Hanging Cabinets - Part 5: Finishing Up

We had one kind of "odd duck" cabinet that didn't have the same measurements as the others, so we decided to hang that one on another wall. We also hung this one a little lower down on the wall so as to allow for more room on top of the cabinet for storage. We did the same song and dance with the 2x4 and then hung it up. After the cabinets are mounted, you take the 2x4 down since you don't need it anymore.

All in all, this project was really not too tough. It took some time (we spent about 3/4 of a day on it, with various breaks for visiting with neighbors, lunch, beers, etc. Once we learned the trick with the 2x4, we found that this is easily a two-person job. (Although we couldn't have done it half so well without the help of our neighbors.) After we got it going, my husband did most of it by himself, with me helping to hand him screws, brace the cabinet against the wall periodically, etc. The end result was great: we got more storage and a clean garage. And it really looks pretty nice in there now!
