Hi All,
I'm new to forum. If you look at my intro you'll see everything seems to be falling down around us. I'm married to a husband I love very much but he is NOT meticulous when it comes to woodworking.
We are about to redo our kitchen. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as we go along...here is my first two:
Question 1:When you put your base cabinets in side by side, I have the feeling you are supposed to fill the groove/small line where they but up against on another. We are painting them, so I want the paint to be smooth. Are you? Or do you overlay them with something else?
Question 2: When putting in a peice of filler between cabinets, what is best method for doing so? My husband on our last quick install of stock cabinetry did this wrong I'm pretty sure. I get irritated when I look at it. We have exposed hinges. He took a white peice of plain wood and very haphazardly notched it out where it would have bumped into hinges. It's messy and gross. I'm thinking you don't have it over your hinges at all. I'm thinking it is supposed to be flush with side of cabinet? Is this true?
Many thanks,
Michele
