Couple more shots of the Cabinets

Here is my kitchen pantry without the shelving that I ripped out since it was full of black toxic mold. Ok , not toxic, but Drunk Mike's nontheless!
Crappy $5 shelves, but hey, they'll do the job.Can I get toe kick?

Not the most plumb and level, but hey who is? Also, take a look at the corner where the walls meet. Doesn't look quite right does it?

Kitchen Cabinets

These are the first two cabinets installed on the refrigerator wall

Kitchen Floor - Complete

I still have to put the quarter round on, but I think I'll wait until I have my cabinets in place to do that.

Kitchen's Laminate flooring project

Here is a shot of the subfloor before laying down the underlayment for the laminate floor. Please ignore the fact that there is a big hole in the wall where you can see through to the bathroom. Cool though huh?

Wood Working Question

So below you can see my subfloor that I put down. Problem is that the two plywood boards fit together too snugly, thereby causing a pretty lound squeak in the floor when I step on either side of the seem.

So what is the best way to cut a small groove out of one of the boards with out pulling up the whole sheet??

More updates to Laminate Flooring

Ok notice here how the door-jam has curved detail work, this makes the cut for this piece of laminate pretty difficultHere the door-jam has straight cuts which makes things easier for the laminate cut.

Set-up for laminate flooring in Hallway

What's the worst that could happen if your sink turns out to be venting not out of the house but between a couple studs? I dunno, I don't see any issues. I bet you ol KP thinks he's gonna be big shit with his fancy plumbing vents in his new house. :) JK

Removing plaster in the bathroom

So the other day I was at work and reallized that this guy who sits next to me, well his feet really stink. I'm not sure if I should tell him, but he's starting to offend other people that sit around us. Maybe I should tell my boss or better yet I can drop off some Dr. Scholl's Odor Destroyers at his desk, when no one else is around. Can you imagine what he'll think though when he comes in to find that someone else knows of his secret?
