install procedure

The install of b58 is going very well so far. We are only two days in and we have two more days to go in this initial install, phase 1. Some things that we could have done differently is to use a better laser, I was thinking that one that can easily adjust to a different height. As far as an installation guide goes I don't know how or where to put the info, I suppose for now I should use a word doc. It would go as follows:
check floors for level
check walls for plumb
check ceiling for level
determine the outside parameters of the cabinetry, in this case it is the refrigerator enclosure, and the banquet, panel, wall cabinet piece.
determine that the finished height of floor and ceiling is accurate to the shop drawings
determine the top line to use as a reference, that is because the bottom edge of the crown needs to relate to the cabinets consistently over the entire cabinet, for us that means that the top inside edge of the face frame or paneling needs to be in this case anywhere from 1.5" to 1.75" below the bottom edge of crown.
Once you know where the top of the cabinet is set all the cabinets and panels from that
snap a line on the floor at 25" from the walls this represents the face of the base cabinets
Snap a line 3.75" inside of that line, that represents the front edge of the pedestals
determine your pedestal height generally we assume a half inch space between the pedestal bottom and the floor for shimming, it is not uncommon for a floor to be out of level by as much as an inch.
I will be working on that as time goes on.

We blew off our Kaizen event Friday. I was just to excited about the install at b58 to pull away. We will jump on that Monday morning, we are going to relocate the dust collection switch. We are going to move it out into the center off the shop. I notice that the collector runs constantly because the on off switch is so far away from the shop floor. my current electric bill is $1000.00. Wow that is big and the motor on the dust collector is huge. Also there is no need to put the wear and tear on the motor if it is not being used, And then lastly it is a waste
of energy.

This week there is another rush job for a61 another box like the trash bins. I need to draw that get them approved and get up to NH to buy the cedar all by wed.
