Cabinet, Cabinet on the wall...

Last weekend we worked on getting the wall cabinets up and most of the base cabinets installed. Starting in the corner with the lazy susan, we worked outwards bracing and shimming as we went. It turns out our walls aren't perfectly straight, so it took a little tweaking.
 Clamping the face frames, we located screws that will be out of view once the counter top is in place. This cabinet also has an electrical feed for the oven.

 Of course, since the oven is exactly the same width as the cabinet, some modification was needed. With a flush pattern router bit the size of the face frame was maximized on all sides. That would leave about a 1/4" of space to slide the oven in.
Here's how the electrical work gets done around here. Next the oven needs to be installed.
