Don’t even think about setting until you know where your high spot is on the floor

The best explanation of this process I’ve found, and I’ve been looking for one for years! Great stuff and straight to the point. I was even confused as to why I needed to find the high in the first place, now I get it.

Good explanation. Glad that you pointed out that the lowest number on the tape measure is the highest spot. EZ to get mixed up in your head about that!!! Thanks.

Thank you for the line about the shortest distance being the highest, I couldn't make sense of it in my head! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Should have also measured at the cabinet depth out from the wall, as the high spot may be on room side cabinet edge and not the wall side

I don’t every time, but if I have a suspicion I’ll lay down the 2’ level perpendicular to the wall at a few places across the run to check. I should have mentioned that.

About to install cabinets which brought me to this video. Just one thing: If the high spot is the lowest point, why not just call it the low spot and base everything from the low spot. Whoever came up with the idea of calling the low spot the high spot just wanted to sound clever.

It’s not the lowest point. It will be the lowest ie shortest measurement on the tape measure. But it is indeed the highest spot in the floor.

What about for separate runs of cabinets in the kitchen? I have a low spot that if I use the laser for the entire kitchen the countertop is a little high relative to standing next to it. Which way is preferred/correct for professionals?

I typically don’t sweat any differences between runs as long as it’s not huge. But note that cabinets on either side of a range should absolutely be at the same height, otherwise you see the difference after range is installed.

There are cases that I have decided to trim the bottoms of the cabinets because the end cabinet was exposed and would not have trim, or baseboard along the bottom.
