Toekick Sunday!

Now we're cooking!

Sunday we constructed the toekicks. For those of you who are unsure, a toekick is what each of the base cabinets sit on and where your toes go. It puts a recess at the bottom of each of the cabinets and lets you get close to the counter top without losing your balance.

Jesse asked to set up shop in the kitchen - because it was hot as H-E-double hockey sticks in the garage and outside.


First, Jesse used a little computer program he made to produce a cut list. Then he cut up the plywood and labeled each piece with the part of each kick it was going to make.


I told you it was hot!


The finished products! He let me make two cuts and put one box together. But, it goes a lot faster when he does it and he was eager to get me out of his way...


YAY!
Here they are laid out like they will be once we install the cabinets! We played house and imagined what it would be like to be in there once it's all finished.
I can hardly wait!
