   Lou,

   Just the opposite...you`re example indicated two linear feet. When measuring for cabinetry its the horizontal run that you take into account. You`re example works out to $300.00 for the cabinet specified. However there is usually a minimum which varies by installer. I don`t know if the $150.00/ lin. ft. was just for example sake, but I doubt you`re going to find a 2 ft. wide by 7 ft. tall cabinet installed for $300.00.

   I usually figure a cabinet install by the "box".  Every base cab, upper and anything else that's a pc.  That would include the micro, the valance and even the space kept for the DW.  I will make note of and add for specials such as oven cabs, pantry and island pcs.  Then you've got the shoe, crown, light-rail or whatever on top of the uppers,  the counters and any add-on hardware besides the knobs or pulls.  That cab as part of a kitchen install would not cost anywhere near 300.00, but I don't think I'd run right over and just install that (complete) for 300 either.  I think you should pick someones brain that can see it to get a proper price.  Best of luck.__________________________________________

   I was just answering his question as he put it. I dont charge by the lineal foot either. Each and every kitchen is unique and I dont attempt to put set prices where there are far too many variables. J. D. Reynolds

   You're absolutely right J.D. and wouldn't it be nice to get a hundred and fifty a foot on a whole kitchen cab install?  Man, that's good eatin'.__________________________________________

   Would that be "Dear Wife" or "Dish Washer" or are they the same thing?

   I would suppose you could take either, but I'm sure the modern woman would be upset with that space.  DW would be dishwasher.__________________________________________
