   *Greg,

   Looks good as usual.I'm curious how long it took for you to mount the cabinets and if you did it alone or with a helper?

   *day two- couple minor boo-boos slowed me down a bit-had to move the outlet box for the micro/hood down a few inches, had to cut side of cabs where wall shrunk(noone bothered telling cabinetboy they had to fur out a wall 1"), had to go over placement of island & necessary relocation of plumbing way too many times- but it's getting there...Joe- so far I have 22 man hours on install- 12 of mine & 10 for helper- some of these cabs are monsters- that pantry/ refer unit is one piece. I might have attemped going solo on this 15 yrs ago, aint worth it for me now, if you know what I mean...

   *Greg,

   I can see what you mean about the refrigerator cabinet. I think I would have made it in two pieces because I'm always looking to make my life easier ;-).I notice there's no floor installed, I always (well almost) install over a finished floor an I'm wondering how you deal with the dishwasher in situations like this?BTW this looks like another real nice job you've put together.

   *Boo-boos always slow me down too.Major boo-boos, minor boo-boos, medium boo-boos. It doesn't matter, I always have time for boo-boos.Oh wait, I'm spelling that wrong.Never mind.

   *thanks Joe- this was a fun one...in regards to the flooring/dishwasher, if the finish floor dosen't carry thru into the opening I usually just throw in a piece of ply the correct thickness. Just yesterday I was looking thru Fine Homebuilding's new Kitchen & Bath issue & learned this trick- when dealing with hardwood flooring, run the wood in a few inches past toekick, then runners on both sides along adjacent cabinets to support rear legs, leaving center open to subfloor- if dishwasher leaks, the floor has a better chance of not getting damaged. I attached a drawing-thanks again- gb

   *I addressed the issue of corbels with the owner when designing- was told he would work it out with granite guy(thicker rough top, inlayed reinforcing steel in granite, ect.)well, now that it is all built & installed I'm informed I need to provide overhang support. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!(said in Gomer Pyle voice)check out what I came up with

   *I routed grooves the supports were saddled in & connected them to dividers inside the cabinet
