My neighbor came to me about a month ago with an idea that he had for some built-ins around his fireplace. He wanted a new mantle and book shelves with storage for his flat screen tv. We have been cutting and gluing for a few weeks now and installed this over the past two weekends. The finishing touches were put on yesterday afternoon. He now wants to do one for the family room in the basement. Pictures of it to follow when completed.

He bought all of the supplies, I cut and pieced all of it together, he and his wife stained it and I got 2 cases of beer for my troubles. Well worth it from an experience standpoint and to help out a friend. Our sons are best frineds and we have a very close knit neighborhood.Comment

Copper, We cut the carpet and went right to the subfloor. The bottom cabinet is sitting on a 2X4 frame that we attached to the floor and then stapled the carpet to the floor. The kick plate on the base was added to cover up the staples in the carpet.Originally posted by CopperComment
