Measure up 341⁄2" from the high-point mark (for standard cabinets). Use a level (a laser level is perfect) to mark a reference line on the walls. Base cabinets will be installed with top edges flush against this line.
Measure up 84" from the high-point mark and draw a second reference line. Wall cabinets will be installed with their top edges flush against this line.
Measure down 30" from the wall-cabinet reference line and draw another level line where the bottoms of the cabinets will be. Temporary ledgers will be installed against this line.
Install 1 × 3 temporary ledgers with top edges flush against the reference lines. Attach ledgers with 21⁄2" wallboard screws driven into every other wall stud. Mark stud locations on the ledgers. Cabinets will rest temporarily on ledgers during installation (the ledgers alone will not support them, however).
