Construction Daily
Today the Conestoga team continued skinning the winery. It is really coming together, and I continue to be impressed with their efficiency.
Inside, I continued work on the kitchen cabinets. Working my way back from the stoves, I decided to leave myself an extra inch or so of space on either side to avoid difficulty in sliding in the actual appliances. Why struggle? The peninsula proved to be somewhat challenging to secure, since there isn't a wall to screw it to. The solution is to mount a piece directly to the floor (drilling a hole through the grout into the subfloor, not through the impossibly-hard tile...) and screwing the mount directly to the subfloor. Then placing the peninsula cabinet on top, and screwing the base to the floor mount. Additional strength is gained by screwing the peninsula to the adjoining cabinets, which are of course mounted to the wall. The whole thing ended up feeling really solid.
