Parceling the parts

Brooklyn shoe cabinet project and GW kitchen pantry cleaning n reorg project

Speaking of house projects, onesuch was deployment of two shoe cabinets with drawers for near the front door (it’s customary to not wear shoes on the nice tile-floor homes here, or as I do, have an in-home pair of flip-flops).

I learned enough of the instructions, using a magnifier at times with my glasses and aging eyeballs, to complete the cabinets in less than about 12-14 hours! with only one boo boo that required going back, no items left over, and only one modification for parts that, although properly matched, were not a good match.

It was a bit tricky, as some of the screws were very similar in size, only differentiated in the instructions by what I think was a length in millimeters, or a thread count or something. Not quite as easy as Ikea instructions.

    Congratulations. You’ve just earned another merit badge: Shoe Cabinet Construction. Those DIY projects can make grown men weep. You will recall my tale of assembling the metal shed.
