new ideas

in the photo below you will see a height adjustment device screwed to the pedestal of this cabinet. I did not build or install this cabinet. I am repairing the bottom panel that was damaged from a leaky sink faucet. What is interesting about this is that I have had this very thought myself. As I do the installing one of things that is always tricky is leveling the pedestal, but using the leveling leg make it's much easier. the only thing is that it is an added expense. So my thought is to still use my technique of securing the pedestal at it's height by screwing a board to the inside of the pedestal and then removing the leveling leg and using it again for only the purpose of leveling. Each one of these leveling legs is about $5. I want to buy good ones so they'll hold the weight of the cabinet over the years, so that adds $20 to each pedestal. I like the idea of re-using, and still having the strength of the current method of the plywood screwed to the side of the pedestal. I am going to buy a small supply of levelers and give this a try. I will keep them in the same box as the shims it should be an easy thing to try.
