Spent three full days getting the bottom cabinets in. Ikea has a special system for attaching island cabinets, or in my case a peninsula, so that took a lot of fine tuning and tweaking to get it all level and sitting right. The bottom cabinets in general where a lot more challenging to get sitting right as the walls were surprisingly unlevel and probably best described as "wavy."

| First one in. |
 |
| Assembling the peninsula support. |
 |
| Added some spacers to raise up support, and ensure solid connection to beams below. |
 |
| More filler piece brackets |
 |
| Semi-complete. |
Last cabinet to put in place was the sink. As I've got a farm-style under counter mounted sink, I want to ensure it's going to be solid and properly supported, so I fashioned some 2x4 and 2x6 supports, with heavy duty bolts keeping them together. That's also the reason I installed OSB on the wall, for a solid backing to attach to - otherwise it would just crush drywall when tightened down.
