The tip to use a pilot hole is a good one. I'm not sure about the horizontal board, however. If I understand what you are saying correctly, that would mean that there would be an exposed piece of wood running the entire length of the cabinet run. It seems that this would be pretty unsightly - or am I just not understanding correctly? I wonder about its necessity since the cabinets that the pros put up in my laundry room do not have this and these are very large cabinets and are holding up just fine with just screws into the studs.
