The Cabinets To The Shadowline To The Bulkhead That The Builder Built

1. Bulkhead over cabinets by builder.
2. Shadowline to bulkhead by builder.

The first sentence is clear enough. Since our company manufactures cabinets not bulkheads, it must be the bulkhead they refer to as ‘by builder’ (means his job, not ours). Yup, that makes sense.

What does the second sentence mean? Is the shadowline ALSO by the builder, or is it one we are making which goes up to the bulkhead which, as we already know, is by the builder?

Since my boss, who wrote these notes, is never in the office and never answers his phone I may as well ask you people.

What does it mean?

You're making the assumption that we either know what the shadowline is, or would use the handy internets to figure it out.

I am too lazy to do that and therefore will answer thusly: just say fuck it.

a shadowline is a slight set-back where two faces meet. The face (front) of the cabinets to the face of the bulkhead above. It creates the appearance of a gap between the two which makes the cabinets appear to float in space. It's an architect thing and as we have learned in earlier lessons, architects should be made to shoot themselves and clean up the mess.
