OT KM - Faucets? I thought it was 'Milagro Beanfield War' <ggg>. Anyway, it must be trivia night. Funny you mentioned that brand, the NY Times home section this past week had an article on a NYC apt bathroom renovation, and the guy selected the same brand for a shower mixing valve. It's not like I hear the word Dornbracht mentioned twice the same week too often <gggg>. Regards, John

ot ot ot re: I wish I had the guts to try cabinet installation. It easy if they are made well, design to fit, and the walls are true. Greg P.S. How about RMBS, ether IBM is pig headed or INTC is blowing it. I keep saying in my head, how could INTC be so wrong to the point they are paying companies to help them produce RDRAMs?

OT I wish I had the guts to try cabinet installation. Truff, a piece of cake. Screw in an 8 or 10 foot 2x4 into the studs along the wall at the height where you want the cabinets to be. Check to see its level, then recheck and recheck. Use 3 inch drywall screws and hit at least every other stud. Also mark each stud location in pencil on the 2x4 so you have 1 1/2 inch marks along the 2/4 where the studs begin and end. You'll use this 2/4 to rest each cabinet on when you secure it to the wall. Take all the shelves and doors off the cabinet. Hold the first cabinet where you want it to be. And with your handy DeWalt 14.4 battery powered drill, drill an 1/8 inch pilot hole at the 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cabinet and 2 inches from the bottom of each cabinet. (42 inch cabinets need 2 screws at the top and 2 at the bottom because of the additional weight they will hold) Take the cabinet down and put in on the side. Now useing the appropriate sized drill and the pilot holes you've drilled into the wall, drill into the studs approx 3 inches. The drill diameter should be slightly smaller than the screw size you'll use. Do NOT use drywall screws to hang the cabinets. They don't have the shear strength to hold static loads. Using 3 inch brass screws (number 12 or 14 with a 1 inch shank, 2 inch thread), coat the threads liberally with vaseline. Makes it easier going into the stud. Put the cabinet up in its original location, match the holes, and check to see its plumb (vertically positioned properly). Secure the top of the cabinet first. Then do the bottom two screws. Don't torque down the screws too much against the back of the cabinet because you don't want to crack any of the wood. Presto! You just hung your first cabinet. Now if you have 2 or three two do, just put them next the the first one, flush it up tightly against it, and just repeat as you did before. Took me about 1/2 a day to hang 3 cabinets from start to finish. A little long, but I had to unpack the cabinets, take all the doors and shelves off, hang them, and then put the shelves back in and the doors back on once they're on the wall. Then remove the 2/4 support under the cabinets, spackle the holes, sand, and paint. And that's all there is to it. Sure is alot easier than wishing a stock up... Best regards, Mark
