Tiny Pantry Closet With MAX STORAGE!

What happens here

The newly cut and polished granite/quartz countertop is carefully placed onto the support brackets within the cabinet. Blue painter's tape is applied to the edges to prevent scratching the cabinet while positioning the countertop. Next, new door jambs (made from pine 1x3 material) are installed around the pantry opening. The floor serves as the initial reference point. A long framing square is used to ensure the jambs are plumb and square. Shims are strategically placed behind the jambs where needed to achieve perfect alignment and squareness before they are permanently fastened with screws. This creates a clean and professional frame for the new pantry door.

Goal: The finished countertop is placed into the cabinet, and door jambs are installed around the pantry opening, ensuring they are square and secure.
