Above is a close-up of the spirit level on the counter. Leveling the counter appeared to be the only way to level it.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"cont\">\nThis section of counter is perpendicular to the outside wall and juts into the room barely leaving space to open the refrigerator door. This house may have been built before built-in cabinets were standard in American kitchens. Someone built these cabinets out of pine and plywood in place. They cut the cabinet doors to match the angles of the kitchen where the outside wall is about 2 inches lower than the rest of the kitchen.
