This is a slide show of our kitchen remodel. My husband and I started this project in March of 2008 and just finished it at the end of May. We did all the work ourselves and saved a lot of money, I did the electrical, plumbing, flooring and tiling and my husband designed and made the cabinets, installed the solid surface countertops and sink put in the crown molding, etc.... and we did the rest together. I also put new flooring in the rest of the house except the bedrooms and we painted and put crown molding througout. We also put in a gas fireplace, a pocket door, new trim on all the doors and a new french door. I installed recessed lighting in our family room as well. Next we will tackle the bathroom....stay tuned.

We're back with part 3 of our Kitchen Cabinet Remodel! Jude and Joe have the Corner Cabinet hung and are ready to show you how to begin lining up the adjacent cabinets. During the segment they are using only the Makita LCT200W drill driver kit, a simple piece of furring, some finish screws and a very useful tool called a Cabinet Claw. These handy little creatures are clamps from the Pony line that support your cabinets, keep them aligned and even guide your driver or drill. Doing that many jobs for you, the Pony 8510 Cabinet Claw can be a big help and a time saver for joining your cabinets. Enjoy the video.
