Why are they called cupboards?

• <div><p>The term cupboards began in the Middle Ages to describe pieces of furniture that had open shelves and were used to display cups and plates. Today, they’re used less for display and more for concealed storage of a wide variety of items, from special occasion dishware to bedding or other linens.</p></div>

How much space do you need for storage cabinets?

• <div><p>Storage cabinets can be custom or standard, depending on the purpose of the cabinet, size of your space, and available materials. If you’re looking to build something to a standard size, the usual range for cabinet dimensions are as follows:</p><ul><li><p>Height: <b>12 inches–42 inches</b></p></li><li><p>Width: <b>12 inches–36 inches</b></p></li><li><p>Depth:<b> 16 inches–24 inches</b> </p></li></ul><p>Taller cabinets typically have a height of <b>84 inches, 90 inches, and 96 inches</b>.</p></div>

Q: Do you install base or wall cabinets first?

• <div><p>We recommend installing wall cabinets first so the base cabinets aren&rsquo;t in the way. This order also prevents damage to the base cabinets if you drop tools or materials when installing the upper cabinets.</p></div>

Q: In what order do you install a new kitchen?

• <div><p>The order of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/step-by-step-guide-to-remodel-kitchen.htm">steps for your kitchen remodel</a> depends on the project scope, layout, and contractor availability. However, typically, you would install plumbing and electrics first, then insulation and drywall, before moving on to the flooring, cabinetry, and countertops. Appliances usually go in last. You can then take the time to add the fixtures, hardware, and other final personal touches.</p></div>

Q: How far from the ceiling should kitchen cabinets be?

• <div><p>In many homes, upper cabinets are installed with a 1- to 2-foot gap between the tops and the ceiling. However, many homeowners extend their cabinets to the ceiling to gain extra storage and a polished, built-in look. </p></div>

This was quite an ordeal and took way too long, pandemic or no. It took about 9 months. Contractor did not stay on top of paperwork and would have missed deadlines, costing me money, if I hadn't stepped in to do what I thought he was doing. Workers showed up or not, you never knew, despite who...
