I found myself a cabinet maker who works for a kitchen company and he is going to help me out and even supply some bulkheads and filler pieces. He's coming on Saturday to start installing to wall cabinets :D and the best part is he said he doesnt even need to be paid, he would just like to give me a hand with it

His name wouldn't be Toddles would it?;) :D.

Oh, you mean one of you guys would have helped me?
Well, here are some more WIP.... just waiting for the benchtops, doors, handles and a clean up

What is really interesting is how some houses probably alternate between one configuration and another.

Case in point: my wife and I were thinking that a sliding door would be better for the entrance to the bathroom. Imagine my surprise when I removed a part of the gyprock wall (for other purposes), only to discover an internal slider hiding in there!

So, the house started its life with a sliding door to the bathroom (recently confirmed on plans), then the previous owners replaced with a hinged door, and now we're thinking of putting it back.

Looks brilliant! Well done.

How where they hung in the end?

We cut out 100mm of gyprock, inserted noggins, regyprocked, flushed and then attached the cabinets. The base cabinets we didnt bother with noggins as they are on legs anyway, but used plasterboard anchors (plastic spiral things)as well as screws.
Guess the project wouldnt be complete without the sparky installing the wrong sized power points for the oven and cooktop so waiting for him to come back and fix it
