Cabinets and Tools

Stop number 3 on our trip is the Estes Freight Terminal in Chula Vista where we pick up the pallet full of ready to build cabinet materials. Even though they were late on the delivery, I'm guessing it was mostly error from the cabinetry company, because they seem to have everything in order. We arrive, show ID, and a fork lift deposits the pallet behind our truck. On to stop number 4 - Home Depot off of Imperial Ave. This is the only HD that rents tools and we are in the market for a compressor, nail gun, and sawzall. Back at my house we organize the boxes in the garage.

Eeny Meeny, miny, moe. We start in on one of the cabinets and upon shooting the first nail, we realize something is very wrong. This is an angled nail gun and unfortunately the incompetent, albeit very nice, gentlemen provided us with straight nails. The gun is jammed with the straight nails. We are both extremely frustrated at being a day behind and travel to the nearer HD to get the gun unjammed and buy the correct nails. Finally we are back home and ready to build some cabinets.
