Assemble & Install Upper Cabinets

What happens here
Following the same method as the base cabinets, assemble the upper cabinet carcasses using pocket holes, screws, and wood glue. For the corner unit, build it to allow for a 'kicked out' top and bottom, incorporating a full filler piece in the back to avoid an exposed corner. For longer spans, add internal dividers for structural reinforcement to prevent sagging. Carefully lift the assembled upper cabinets and place them onto the installed base cabinets. Secure them to the wall studs using screws, ensuring proper alignment with the base units and overall levelness.
Goal: Construct the upper cabinet carcasses, including a corner unit, using pocket hole joinery, then lift and secure them onto the installed base cabinets.
