My Wifes family has a cabinet business & going to ask them if they can build me the frame section & use the drawers, doors & top counter.

They are factory cabinets Greg.

Mine appear to be ok with no water damage. Just under the middle sink shelf floor panel got the worst of it & its all bowed down. The lower portion of the floor under it I know has to be bad & rotten cause the outside flooring of the cabinets is bowed down, Thanks for the tectured formica bo...

Now I can afford this one!

Wow, Yanita... A pleasant blast from the past. Miss her. When removing a ceiling panel for salvage, you have to be extra careful not to break the pretty fragile panel. To be safe, I would say it takes 3 people for the inexperienced. Two to hold and help lower the panel, one person to clip the final...

Well when your short on funds like me you do what you have to do.

I'm not an expert by any means (I really don't know much about anything) but I'd think any open spots would mean it could get drafty in those areas. It will also invite bugs & spiders in the flooring into the house as well. I have roaches & grand daddy long legs that get in my shower's &...

:D I wished some saw company would come up with a saw that would cut right along the very edge of the walls. I really hate chiseling & digging out the old PB under the floor joist's. My back isn't what it used to be lying down on the floor for so long. Just tack on a 2x4 or 2x6 support board wit...

Maybe I should get a big bottle of wood glue & go for it!
LOL!

Your wife was being kind with her description. I assume you were all out of white tape at the time of the repair. Gosh I didn't think about the white tape. Have to go to the hardware store & see if they have some. I may have to use alot to cover over the large opening. Firs I have to drop it do...

upload the pics to http://www.imgur.com .. then edit and resize to 640x480. At least that's how I do it. Then just link to them in your post :) Thank's Jeff! :D I used the Imgur photo software but was kinda hard to use it till I got used to navigating to get the on my desktop after resizing them. A...

Thank's Greg!

One more pic of my kitchen project.
These cabinets shouldn't be that hard to salvage to reuse.
