Medicine Cabinet

One of the things you must do as a handyman is hang stuff on walls, and there are endless methods and techniques for doing so.

So today a regular client asked me to install a medicine cabinet in her bathroom.

Now I like to act tough and nonchalant as most guys in the trades like to be, but in my heart, I know that anything that weighs 30 plus pounds and in made of glass, well, it has to be done right.

So anyway, it starts with locating the studs and drilling some holes and putting in the screws and making sure it’s level, and deciphering the truly godawful hard to understand directions (Thanks, Kohler, for nothing in that dept.) . . .

There were many little steps, and it took two and a half hours, but VOILA

I will say with some smugness that this thing is ON THERE, with 3 inch screws driven into the studs on the bottom and molly bolts holding the top.

It’s Miller time!

Hi, Justin here. I do handyman work in the Boston Metrowest area. I specialize in solving problems, like doors that don't close right, things that don't hang right, and many basic small repairs. Note, I don't do bigger projects like building decks, I prefer to fix things already installed. I love healing old houses and making things look right.
