Be ready for more work than you expect
This should be the easiest part of my bathroom project.
I want to install a recessed medicine cabinet into an exposed wall where I get to choose all the framing. That’s too much choice to swallow all at once. I don’t have the vanity yet and I don’t have the cabinet. I can search online and at least get the expected dimensions for the hole in the wall, right?
I appreciate the warnings given on this first site I found with instructions:
Be ready for more work than you expected!
Installing a recessed cabinet, such as a medicine cabinet, wall safe, or ironing board, can be fairly simple and straightforward or may require the services of carpenters, plumbers, electricians, structural engineers, and, worst case… witch doctors!
I would add that you must be ready for more work than you expect, even if you have already taken this rule into account. Software engineering is even worse.
