Cob: RE: pre-fab cabinets?

[David Knowlton]

hello,

I am a new guy, but in standard construction cabinets are frequently hung 
using a wedge technique. A board is firmly attached to the wall to support 
the base of the cabinets. It can be flat or, it can have a 45 degree angle 
to allow mating 45 degree wedges on the cabinets hold them flush to the wall 
and carry the weight. Tough to describe in words. If you could preplan your 
location you could set stone, or concrete where you want to mount your 
cabinets and use tapcon screws to attach them. Should be plenty strong 
enough - but I am making this up as I go. Good luck.
