Furniture For Kitchen

If you want new kitchen cabinets, but are on a limited budget, consider installing them yourself. If you are handy and have done other home remodelling jobs, you will save a lot of money by supplying your own labor. The cabinets you purchase will come with an installation guide. Make sure you read and follow it carefully.

The first thing you have to do is check the cabinets thoroughly when they are delivered. Check for damage, and also to make sure that all of the components have been included. Now that you know you have all of the material for the job, make sure you have the right tools for the job.

It is important to use the proper fasteners and screws that are suitable for cabinets. Use new screws and make sure they are the right size for cabinets.

Here is a list of the tools you will need to do a kitchen cabinet installation:

o Carpenter square
o Carpenter level
o Tape measure
o Hammer
o Straight edge
o Drill
o Drill bits
o Chalk line
o Screw driver (power driver is best)
o Masking tape
o Utility knife
o Jigsaw
o Miter saw
o Step ladder
o Furniture clamps
o Shims
o Circuit tester
o Bit sander

Safety should be your first concern when you are installing cabinets. Have someone help you lift them since they are heavy. Wear proper garments, including work boots and safety goggles. Keep your work area clean of debris and dirt so as to avoid falls.
