Step 7. Screw through face frame, through sheetrock, and into stud

Masking tape has been applied
to face frame to limit scratches and damage.

Snow falls gently outside as work continues inside on the cabin fever project.

Last year's Christmas present is getting a serious workout this morning as the Hole in the Wall project continues with the installation of the old face frame salvaged from last summer's laundry room project. Matching doors will be mounted to the frame later so it is important to get a sturdy, level attachment to the wall.

New shelves have been cut, painted and varnished and are in the basement drying.
Meanwhile, the recycled frame is counter-sunk and screws inserted into holes created by the new fully-charged Ryobi power driver.
It would actually be a lot handier to have two power drivers, the workman noted to his wife as she took his photo. That way you wouldn't have to be constantly  changing out screw heads and drill bits. You could have one power driver with a drill bit in it and the other with a screw head in it and then alternate them. A matched set of power drivers would be just the ticket.
The wife sighed and noted that Christmas is coming again.
