Ever buy a new fridge and find it's too tall for the cabinet above it ?

The newest 37" deep Fridges from Samsung and Kitchen Aid,
Fisher-Paykel, Sub-Zero etc are often way taller than
fridges built prior to 2008-9. Especially if you consider
the new mid-zone climate drawer (third drawer) fridges.

The cabinet box is brought out to 25" or 27" deep flush
to fridge line, so you aren't having to use a stepstool
just to access the cabinet. You also have to account
for a 5/8" tall fridge cap hinge so that doors can
swing unimpeded on a 270 degree hinge.

We built a new 15" tall by 25" depth box
complete with ceramically glued and brad
nailed angle-clamped box, conceal joined
to right hand side cabinet and affixed to
stud in wall with an old-school rawly screw
plug. Throw in a fast edgebanding with
our Polymac-Akron Edgebander and you
woulda thought that cabinet was always
there from the original install...

The great thing ? We were 1/4 the cost
of a big-box stores' custom cabinet
jobber. !!!
