Decided Father’s Day was a good day to install the medicine cabinet that’s been sitting in my bathroom for over a year. Had my son help me with the install.

    Look at all those tools… installed new studs… apparently measured twice and cut once. Hardly seems dull

      Yeah, I boxed it out with some 2x4’s so I would have something to mount it to.

      Here’s a rough sketch I used when I was planning it out.

      Tools are mostly left over from when I was an electrician, before I went back to school to get my degree. I have gotten a few new ones as I need them, but most of them are old. I think my M18 combo set is nearly 20 years old. I did pick up an M12 set to keep in my truck to use when I’m not at the house.

    This looks fantastic! Quick question, can the cabinet door smack into the mirror? If so I would recommend putting padding somewhere on the cabinet door.

    I have neither the tools, nor the skill to do something that clean.

    Well done you!

    It looks great
