Garage Cabinets Phase III

I wish I would have thought to start this post on the first phase of this project. Better late than never. Well anyways, this is Shawn with his Dad, Tom, aka Papa. Papa is the mastermind behind this garage cabinet building/installation. According to Shawn, he is the quality control/inspector of the project. I heard him say at one point, "measure twice, cut once." (shop talk)
I call this phase three because this was Tom's third day down here working on the cabinets. This was not his third day in a row, but three different weekends. Now that's dedication to a project! Shawn absolutely loves working with his Dad and considers this great quality time with him. I'm assuming Shawn's learning amazing wood working skills and will pass them onto Jackson as his Dad is doing with him.
Notice the cabinets are built around a refridgerator (like in a kitchen, but this is our garage.) To the left is a bench that lifts for storage and a place to sit to take dirty shoes off (again this is the garage.) And who couldn't notice the framed art, I mean beer sign hanging (which if has to be hung anywhere at all is best in a garage.)
Shawn IS doing an amazing job with all of the projects around here...I need to keep him going on some of the paint projects before Spring and Summer begin. If you know him at all you can guess what he will be doing.
Yep, yardwork!

The reason I started the post now however in phase three of the project is that I believe there to be more phases. I never really quite know the plans, but when looking out in the garage there is another entire wall of my "stuff." That's wording it nicely. (please scroll down to see the evidence, you'll know when you see it).


I now have much nicer cabinets in the garage than in my kitchen...I've already asked if they can redo those, but I'm sure you can guess the answer I got. (It's apparently not a part of one of the phases) Posted by Picasa
Here's the wall in the garage with my "stuff." I don't think it's that bad....Shawn thinks differently.

The cabinets are absolutely amazing and it sure helps make this home seem more and more like ours. We're slowly McGowanizing it! (That's a compliment)

Until Phase IV....
