The actual cabinets were installed today. And it took ALL day. Yes, we are rookies. First we attached the face frames to the cabinets (they weren't previously attached because the face frames have bracket feet and I didn't want to risk the feet getting knocked off), then set the cabinets on the pedestals and attached the cabinets to the wall studs and the pedestals with screws. Simple, right? Again, it took ALL day. Just finding the studs was a problem. This stud finder that usually works great, apparently can't find the studs through the back of the cabinet that is also wood so it became useless most of the time. We also tried measuring in 16 inch increments from one confirmed stud (assuming they were 16 inches apart) but that didn't work either. In the end, we used the "tried and true" method of me knocking along the wall until I "heard" the stud. Worked like a champ! Michael did find that this little contraption has another use - as a real life stud finder. It alerts when pointed at him. Yes Babe, you're a stud!
