Kitchen archaeology

Yesterday, Brian decided to see exactly how the some of the cabinets were installed. These were custom when the house was built, so it's anyone's guess.

The first cabinet to be removed is the base cabinet to the right of the stove. It took no tools whatsoever to pull it out. Brian gave the countertop a good yank and up it came, leaving the case behind. Another yank on the case pulled it from its home on the subfloor, revealing a solitary nail that held it to the wall. I pray that the rest of the house is better assembled.

Short of caulk, this was all that held the cabinet to the house.
