Clear Coat, Install Cabinets, and Repair Plumbing
At 6:56 in
Small Pantry, Max Storage!
What happens here
After staining, a clear coat is applied to the cabinets and drawer faces using a paint sprayer. This step provides protection and a finished look. However, the builder is forced to spray outdoors in 3-degree winter weather, which is not ideal for proper paint application. He then moves the finished pieces indoors for installation. Later, during cabinet installation, the builder accidentally punctures two water lines while drilling into studs, necessitating immediate plumbing repairs. This causes a delay and requires cutting out sections of the drywall to access and fix the pipes. He then proceeds to install the cabinets and re-install the drywall around the damaged areas.
Goal: Apply clear coat to cabinet components, install them in the pantry, and address unexpected plumbing issues.
