it's beginning to look like a kitchen

There are 45 screws holding this corner cabinet carcass together. Go to my flickr set to see all the progress pictures. (I arrange them in date order, so the end is the most current).

I should be canning in the new kitchen this summer! I am really getting excited!!!
