That freaking tip you showed at the beginning to flip the tie over and just rip it off BLEW my mind. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IVE PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE TRYING TO RIP THOSE OFF.
mynillas lol I have always done this, and people look at me like I just did magic 😂😂
Mate, just watched your dry wall vid and now onto this. Great work.
Tomorrow I start an install of 4 base cabinets which I bought from my local DIY store in Australia today. - I'm so impressed you can buy ready assembled cabinets.
Anyhow - great explanations provided - thank you!
Jeff, you do a great job! Thank you for all the tips and tricks. I very much appreciate your attention to detail with regard to tools, safety gear and what to look out for before you start the work.
Jeff, your channel is addictive....IN THE BEST WAY!
Feel free to come back for a dose any time.
I got inspired well watching all you home DIY VIDEOS, you make it seem so easy. I just started remodeling one of my bathrooms because of it. When I seem to miss a step I just fall back to one of your videos an everything makes sense. So far bathroom is turning out awesome, thanks for the help👍👌. I intend to finish with flying colors an keep on remodeling room by room.
@@frankdatank2529 Agreed!
15:28 "you gotta hit it from the front and the back" ok I'll try to be an adult here.
"You don't wanna start a situation where if you don't screw it in the back they can start curving around the room on you" yup. I tried. I really did.
should install vinyl plank first and place cabinets on top? or install flooring after to their edge?
I love your DIY videos, they are great! I would like to see a garage renovated to incorporate a workbench area. One that could have a table saw and tool area. I would consider this as my man cave area. Maybe have the floor painted and weatherized. Keep up the great work on the channel and Thank you!
This video went to a whole new level 😱
Not installing any cabinets just enjoy watching your videos and supporting the channel! See in the next video!
Thanks Andrew! Cheers!
Just a tip but the feet really need to overlap the sides of the cabinet to support the downwards pressure 👍🏻
I am not sure why they are built that way either. All I know is that they managed to support the weight of the concrete counters we formed on top. My guess is since they are pre built they must have a glue as well as the hardware. All I know is they wouldn't sell a product that couldn't carry stone without opening themselves up to massive lawsuits so they must have tested this for performance and designed it to last. It made me a little nervous too. But Lowe's sells a decent product and I decided to trust them. fingers crossed. For the price there is not a better option out there.
Home RenoVision DIY the feet are actually designed to overlap the edges which is why they have a longer side and are not round. Just twist them 90 degrees from where you had them then screw them in and voila 🙂
Hey B Scooter, don't get confused with Ikea cabinets which cover the gable. These feet will not install over the gable end.
No need to overlap for sides. We have used those type of feet since 1990s and those can bare load when they are near side if your cabin is built with dovels.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY The plastic Feet on the part you attach to the cabinet bottom are oblong, you pointed it straight back, you where supposed to point it so that oblong section supports the side walls of the cabinet via the "gussets", it's not a lot of support but it's more then nothing and it helps transfer the load to the feet
Hey Jeff, its me again. Would be great to have the standards measurements (hight from the floor and between counter top and wall cabinets, etc) in the video description. Working on a project to replace my kitchen cabinets and this info would help me a lot. I know I can just use the same measures I have now, but for people is installing it from scratch, this info would definitely help. Again, another great video. Thanks!!!
Frank Gonzales Thank you!
Great Video thank you very much for putting the time in to make these I really enjoy your channel I have learned a lot
Glad to help. Cheers!
Hi My Friend what Brand and Model of Laser Level are you Using? Thank You For Your Vídeos You Can Be a Teacher at The School because you explain really good everything.
I researched the Nimble brand and unfortunately there are many negative reviews -mostly about the service people received. from Lowe’s. Any suggestion? It does seem that this product is easier to use because it’s semi- built when purchased.
Even faster way to install these cabinets and save more money is to attach straight piece of lumber to wall same height were is cabinet underside/bottom and only use plastic legs on front side. Then lift cabinet on top of that lumber and then adjust front legs to match floor screw them each other and after that screw them to wall studs.
No money saved there. the feet come with the cabinet! besides I want to rely on the transfer of weight through the foot later when I install the counter top.
So do you screw the back of the base cabinet every 16 in/ secure it to every stud? Since you put 5/16 shim behind it you're only securing the top portion?
Excellent presentation and great tips.
Thank you for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.Cheers!
Really like your tips. Keep them coming. Thanks
Thanks Al, we love what we do and have no plans on slowing down. Cheers!
Great drywall finishing haha
First timer so please be kind. lol. What happened to the shim? did you cut it off or just break it off.
Do you have any videos on how to install base cabinets that are to be placed in front of a window that is lower than the top of the cabinets / worktop level? Do you have any tips on how to install them? I need to totally rearrange a kitchen and I need to put the sink in front of a low window.
box in the window to create a higher closed jamb. Then install your cabinets.
Can you customize kitchen cabinets by replacing upgraded doors to your old box of the cabinets?
that works for sure.Cheers!
Please help! I'm replacing flooring and vanity in the bathroom, so which goes first? Do I place vanity down then flooring around it (Luxury vinyl planks) or plank flooring then vanity??
I watched your painting like a pro video and painted my space, but I can't seem to find an answer on this.
The truth is you can do it either way. I prefer to put flooring first. this way you have a nicer finished look and you have the option to change the vanity at a later date and not have to do the floor again. Cheers!
Home RenoVision DIY THANK YOU!!!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY would you recommend this for a kitchen aswell? putting flooring down first then cabinets?
Particle board?
Thanks for all the information
Our pleasure Tim. Cheers!
Lol I like you said vertically challenged. Nice. Lmao..
Come do my kitchen for your next video, I live in Orange CA
👍😁
4 minutes in to the video and you've opened a box
What’s up
With the porn music in the background ?
what's "vertically challenged"? Is it the politically correct way to call them small? :D
darn right!
Love your videos and learned s good deal. Nice!!
Blah blah blah blah
You should never do this! Not DIY. Always use a professional
PLEASE hire a LOCAL professional
Can you please make a video on cutting baseboards and painting them? Same with crouwn mouldings. Thank you, Jeff!
I LOVE the fact that you have your son learning and taking in all the knowlege you've gained as a contractor! Man! To be able to be an apprentice under you would be PRICELESS!
I LOVE working with my 2 boys!
1:06 what type of sorcery is this? I'm never using a knife again. Thanks for the tip and the awesome videos.
Cheers!
You’ve taught me something within the first minute just by opening the box 🤦🏻♀️
I really like how u get into detail ,passing along this beautiful craft,not keeping it to ya self like some greedy foremans/veterans out there ,why not share knowledge? god bless u bro 💪🏿💪🏿
Your videos are the best DIY content on RUclips. Keep it up man.
Your channel deserves an automatic like for every video releases, great information and well explained!
This video makes me want to rip up my kitchen for no reason lol 😂 just so I can install kitchen cabinets
Loving iT!
Good stuff, Jeff. I would have spent a bit more time explaining how to find the highest point and why it's important.
You are supposed to twist the feet sockets around that they support the unit gables or else all that’s being held up is the bottom shelves 😭😭
Yeah, the elongated tab on the adjustable feet should sit under the cabinet end panel
There is something odly satisfying watching you build a kitchen ! Thumbs up :)
Thanks kevin. lol Cheers!
;-)
Hello Jeff, we are moving forward to cabinets installation for our kitchen reno. The wife preferred Ikea cabinetry. :( Would you recommend custom build base or stick with IKEA feet? I’m more concern with it’s not being level for final countertop install. I’ve seen RUclips demonstrates building base with plywoods and seems sturdy. Thanks.
I appreciate the concise description of install procedure in addition to the insider tips born of experience. Lots of heads up about stuff that you may potentially run into. I am looking to install a farmhouse sink on a corner cabinet and have found no topics on this situation. Any tips/ info would be helpful. Thanks!
Also make sure you plan for the under cabinet lightings before you install any backsplashes!!!
man you really sold me on the laser...
We all said "that's good there" when you hit the right height. Guess you didn't hear us. Love this channel.
You want to know what I want to know Jeff? Where is your wife and why isn't she there helping you? If my husband was handy like you omg I would quit my job to hang out with you and fix things all day
..lol unfortunately I'm the handy one so I get to do my handy things and my husband assists ME!l lol
U r amazing, thanks a lot really, best of luck for your upcoming projects
Jeff is the only guy I trust on RUclips! I'm a (48) year old female and his explanations are perfect and somehow exactly what I need every time I look up a project I want to do lol! Keep up the great work, Jeff!
G’day mate, I love listening to a bloke who know what he’s talking about. And you sir are a true professional tradesman. Well done and thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Love your channel! I am about to install some IKEA kitchen cabinets. They recommend installing the floating laminate floors first... your thoughts??
His demeanor makes me a better man.
We’re those FUCKING plastic feet?? As opposed to plywood bases???
Random question: Why are cabinets raised from the ground? Wouldn't it be better to utilize that space?
so the doors dont drag on the ground
very helpful video, Jeff! Do you have any advice on properly shimming base cabinets without adjustable legs? Or could you point me in the direction of a good resource? Thanks.
I was looking for a video on this and saw several before I noticed you made this. I immediately hopped over to this one because I know your content is awesome and super easy to understand. I LOVE this channel. Thank you so much!
Hi Jeff a we tap the cabinet feet you put them on wrong when you screw the feet to the base there was a long piece on the foot you point that to the Gable it's designed to hold the Gable and when you do that the front of the foot is flat the way you had it it was round and why you do that is for the kickboard so it's not sitting at an angle hope you can understand what I'm trying to explain 👍👍
Thanks for that concern however any other direction and they stick out where the finish panel goes. not like ikea at all. Cheers!
Standard cabinet is 34.5”
I really need that level!
That laser is worth more than a second man on the job. Best investment I have ever made.
Yknow you could use the extra space from the gaps to install a sliding spice rack wall like on pintrest but perfectly designed to fit the gaps remaining.
quick question forgot to ask: I bought vinyl plank flooring. That type of floor should be installed before or after the base cabinets? Im getting a quarts countertop on top of the base cabinets. Please advise, thanks
All floors should be installed before cabinets. Why install after?
he almost got you at 14:42
I chew the straps ..:)
13:20 BS sparky and plumber HAVE TO USE metal plates to protect it
A laser level is so useful!! When I first got my house, after gutting it, the kitchen was my first big project. I figured I would invest in a laser level to help with installing the cabinets, but I didn't figure I would ever use it much again. Boy was I wrong... I bring it out all the time.
i thought most file is 12 by 12 or 12 x something..?
Stupid question, but what happened to the shim you screwed through on the wall. It magically disappeared.
Tim K he used one screw just to catch it and then most likely spinner it around
Not too much details as I expected to see compared to other videos
I don't know who else to go to with this question. I have laminate counter top miters that have a little bracket that needs to be tightened and then glued. Problem is my lazy susan base cabinets are solid and I have no access to the brackets from the bottom :(
hey buddy, quick question, Im having my small kitchen renovated and all the guys who came over to measure and sell cabinets they keep telling me to install cabinets above the stove to use the empty space wall. Since there are no windows in my kitchen I was told that no need to install a hood fan. There is a small 12 x12 vent on top of the wall at the corner of the kitchen closed to the ceiling. My apartment building was built in 1969. Please I would love to hear your advise, do u think it would be safer not to install wall cabinet at all above the stove? very much appreciated your reply. Thanks again
Easier than hanging a screen door by yourself and getting it level, flush and plum as I just did by myself even though the jam is off because of a previous security door. I know how to crack those bands from years of being a paper boy. Those days are long gone.
Are you in Canada? I’m in Washington State and cannot find the Nimble line. If I search Canadian Lowe’s I find it no problem. Is this line not available in the U.S?
Want to know a major bugbear of mine? Im a tiler and something that really gets my goat with some kitchen fitters is when they dont level the base cabinets properly when the kitchen has a free standing cooker. Was booked in to tile a kitchen only recently and the client chose bevelled metro tiles. When i put a level across the gap where the freee standing cooker will go, the base cabinets were out by 10mm. Dont sound much but if i had to tile that kitchen i would have had to start tiling at the 'low' end and when i tile across the gap, and in order to keep the tiling level, i would have had to cut the bevel off the metro tile! She would have sued me i think! Kitchen fitter has to come back and remove worktops, sink, plumbing, etc and lower the cabinets on one half of the kitchen and then refit. Ouch. Another fantastic tutorial. Cheers mate from London
As for me - i dont cut parts of kitchen legs and at first screw legs holder ant then insert legs . Hello from Russian kitchen installers )
Feet on incorrect
Flange should overlap side panel.
Client is vertically challenged 😂😂
Great tips. I think the quick grip clamps would be really helpful holding the cabinets together. I bought a Bosch laser very similar to this one in the video (2 lines). If I had to do it over again I'd spend the extra money on the one that throws the vertical laser (3 lines) up to the ceiling as well which can replace the use of a plumb bob for doing steel stud tracks and stuff like that.
very handy if you use steel.Cheers!
Could you place IKEA cabinet doors on these Nimble cabinets? That way you can have the higher range on the overall design.
Hi jeff, I did renovation on my kitchen I found that I have regular drywall and not green drywall
It’s regular drywall ok ?
sure. Cheers!
New kitchen cabinets V.S.old solid wood ones with resurfacing please?
Great Video Sir! I live for these weekend videos as a new home owner.
Thanks Todd, Glad to announce that we have 10 more ready to deliver over the coming weeks.
13:58 okay use a shim... 14:17 wtf happened to the shim?
😂😂😂
I noticed the same!!
But the knife gave away the story. He cut it off in the editing as well. 😱
Nice.
Why do some people recommend a 3 inch gap between the wall and the corner cabinet? Is it essential?
i love your videos but i wanted to know how do you fix something like a kitchen cabinet with side panels bowing?
What happened to the shim that got drilled in between the cabinet and the wall? Did it get rotated out of sight?
"VERTICALLY CHALLENGED" LOL
only person ive seen flip their tool belt around like that! might have to try flippiing mine around.
very handy!
Видимые торцы не закромкованы! Даже гаражники себе такого не позволяют, при том что гарнутиур запакован по высшему разряду
Nice tips! Just what I need. thanks!
Why you start installing base cabinets 1st than top? is more essay that way?
Is there ever a time that you would want to tile first and then put in the floor cabinets? How about under the dishwasher and oven?
Great video! I am going to install ikea cabinets soon. To save an extra cm at the countertop, im not going to use the metal rail. (Cause i only have 62cm depth) So I assume I have to mount them to the back wall as you did? But I will have to use the square metal parts in the ikea cabinet right,to mount it to the wall.
What did u do with the piece of wood u put in the bacl of the cabinet before u screwed it in?
I saw this type of Cabinets installed 30 years ago been around for a while
You have a great Chanel and this comment is sincerely for you and your viewers pleas don’t take offence. You should install those feet so that the side panel of the cabinet is supported by the longer side of the the leg base. The way you have installed them you have only supported the base piece. Any heavy load can collapse the unit. This system is the norm in the uk and you realize that mistake normally after the granite has been installed. 😔
Thank you from New Haven, CT
Your awesome, you supply tons of information and wisdom.
