Things are coming together. Next task for myself on our remodel is to get the pivot hinge mounted for the hidden bookcase/pantry door. Tile will be laid around this bracket. Securing it well is critical as the entire weight of the bookcase will be riding on this point.
Work progresses on the pantry / bookcase door.
I aligned the frame with the opening and marked where the top pin will be.
Next will be to hog out the top jamb for the top pin mechanism.
The bookcase doors are taken from the old master bath vanity, which matches the style of the kitchen cabinets.
I spent the day in my freezing my *** off in the garage, but the payoff was worth it - my rebuilt radio is now equipped with Bluetooth, USB, four new stereo speakers, and hands-free phone, just like a new car. I upgraded all the lights to the dash, ash tray, radio, and climate control to blue LED lights which has a nice calm, mellow, and modern look to it. All my goals for interior this winter are complete. Everything works including the clock.
