What happens here

Carefully place the fully mortared and dried cabinet frames onto wood shims with leveling feet, allowing for height adjustment. Install levelers into the bottom of the cabinet frames to ensure stability and proper height. This also allows for moving the cabinets with a dolly later. Before adding stone veneer, realize the face frame for the sink cabinet is recessed. Adjust by removing the existing face frame and installing new pressure-treated lumber pieces flush with the cabinet opening to provide a proper flush surface for the stone to butt against.

difficult of the ways let's go so i'm using these little levelers i got on amazon uh the idea is you drill a whole 3 8 slam this thing in so these spikes bite into it and then screw this in and you can adjust it how high you want look at that i already bent this one always buy extras nothing broke let's see if we can repeat this [Music] i'm so confident now that the stone is not popping off anytime soon if it could tolerate being laid on its back i'm pretty sure it's going to tolerate staining [Applause] [Music] oh that looks so nice i don't like how this face frame is inside and the stones protruding so i was actually thinking about this the other day i think my solution is going to be remove the space frame remove this piece and then move this piece out and then put more pressure treated two by fours on top so that the face frame maybe starts three quarters along the way of the rock and then the doors will cover and i'll conceal the side it's not side grain of the rock but it's the side cut of the rock you know in hindsight it'd probably be a smarter idea if i was to have these already made and then that way the stone could butt up against it but i'm more of an afterthought kind of guy
