EZ Kitchen Cabinets

If you really need kitchen cabinets but cannot afford them or do not know how to make them , here is a simple, cheap and effective way to accomplish that goal. 


When I removed the original cabinets in the kitchen I was shocked. It was nothing more then a bunch of supports nailed into the walls that supported the drawers and shelves attached to the walls then a facer board put over it . Simple yet served purpose for many years. Here is what we did to duplicate this simple , cheap and effective  cabinet making. 

As you can see form the photos it is basically stained and polyed board fastened to the studs with metal brackets.  Then a facer board and doors put in place. It works well 
Tyhe upright s support the top. This side is til in process of being completed.. 













                               This side we already have facer board and doors on

Roca ancor testimony

There was a discussion on one of my yahoo groups about how some of the Chinese made Roca anchors built recently were  made from metal that is not up to specs.This is an excerpt from that posting from a guy who has had one for 5 years. . Apparently if you can get one that was made a while back or one not made in China they are darned good anchors.


"I will tell you that in 5 years of owning one. It sets in it's own length every time and has never dragged in any bottom condition if using anything near proper scope.
I wouldn't buy a different brand. If you gave me another brand, I'd sell it and get another Rocna......
My boat is a windage barn, (51 foot cat). It's held in 50+ knot gusts, steady 40's. I'm not in the frame of mind to go out and test it in conditions I don't ever want to be in, so you'll have to go with the above.
Yep, that's a testimonial! No one pays me.
