I had 3 tasks scheduled for today.
The main one was to get the face of the cabinet on. I did a bit of googling and there were all sorts of suggestions. Most of them were pocket screws, biscuits, and dado. Pocket screws were pretty much out of the question since the frame is crappy particle board that got a bit buggered when I took the old frame out. I really wasn't going to fool with biscuits. The frame was already dadoed. I'm not sure how I lucked out but it fit perfectly.
Pretty much every thread I went to someone said "just glue it, clamp it, and it will hold just fine". So, I tried that.
I got some wood glue but it sure was liquidy. It just ran everywhere. Made me a little nervous that I got some bad glue or something. Then I went to look for clamps. They were really expensive and I probably will never use a clamp that size again so I went with plan B = see pic (the white part is a piece of 3/4" plywood I used to protect the frame).
Crossing my fingers this holds. Like I said, the frame fit on perfectly so maybe it works.
My second chore was to fix my front door. It's jamming now. I'm assuming because of the ledger board I attached to the front underneath the door. All I did was to trim some of the door trim. It still isn't closing perfectly but I had other things to do.
Number 3 was to hang the microwave. It was apparent early that it will be a 2 man job putting it up. But I got the brace in and the top screws in. There was some tricky measuring to do. Especially underneath the cabinet. It's hard (for me at least) to measure things when I'm doing it upside down. But I got everything where I think I need it. Just need another person to help me lift it up and in.
Oh yeah, sliced the tip of my knuckle off on that stupid brace.
