Hi, how does your carpenter "cut and shift" your cabinet? I am thinking of replacing my built-in microwave with a oven and would need to do some "cut and shift" also. Can pm me the contact of your carpenter?

[ job done ! ]

CIMG3892.jpg

actual modication slighly different from 1st idea...instead of shifting the whole top portion cabi to the left....we just cut/modify the door...

They are so smart !.. :good: ..by doing this, it saves time and reduce uncessary cost $$$......what the "hack"...I dun care how they do it...most important is I can fit my current fridge and also saves monies...$$$.. :notti: ..hahahhaa

Cheers!
