What happens here

Install custom-fitted side panels (cut from plywood, notched, and painted white) to the exposed ends of the existing base cabinet. Secure them with brad nails. Install the newly painted cabinet doors using hinges. Attach the painted shaker-style drawer faces to the drawer boxes. To do this, temporarily screw the face to the drawer from the inside, pull the drawer out, adjust the face for alignment, and then secure it permanently from the inside. Once all doors and drawers are installed, mark and drill pilot holes for the pulls and knobs, then install the hardware. For safety, install plastic spark rings/extenders around electrical outlets to bring them flush with the shiplap surface before attaching the final cover plates. Finally, install the toe kick molding along the bottom of the base cabinets.

Goal: Install custom-fitted side panels, then attach all cabinet doors, drawer faces, and hardware, and install safety extenders for electrical outlets.

days in the works so what we're gonna do is start assembling things before i put the doors and drawers on i made these fitted side panels here this is just plywood as i could see notched out and painted originally used to be a cabinet here as you remember and we got these little uh perforations in there for the shelves so we're gonna put this over here brad nailer and start securing both the benches from the sides and then we'll slap the doors on so there's something more i hate than installing drawer faces once you mark out exactly where your poles are gonna go i'm going to take a screw and put a screw through one of the holes that the hardware's going to go we can safely pull the drawer out secure the door from the inside now that the face is secured we're going to take these screws out drill them out with an eighth inch bit we have a perfectly straight drawer so this could potentially be a fire hazard so you have to buy these little spark rings i think that's what they're called and what this goes is around your outlet and it makes the stand out basically up to this ship lap and then the cover goes on it so you're basically covering with this plastic anything that's a fire hazard all right one of the last things
