Steve vs. the Kitchen Drawer

I think all of our home project blogs are going to be named (family member) vs. (the home project).

On the day of DJ's birthday party in March, I pulled out one of the drawers in the kitchen and it completely collapsed off of the rails. ACK!

Off to Gnome Despot a week later (when we had time) to see if parts exist for such a fix. Steve finds what he thinks we need, and off we go. Of course, they weren't the right parts. Steve figured that the rails were right, but the supports were wrong.

Go figure, we got busy and didn't get back to Gnome Despot again until the ceiling fan project hit full swing. I'd stopped in Lowes for something else, but discovered I need to go to Gnome Despot to get the matching part for the rails. DJ was my companion that day, so he got lots of face time with hardware stores. LOL

This weekend, along with the ceiling fan project, Steve tackled the kitchen drawer project. First we had to gorilla glue the face of the drawer back on. It wasn't off, but wanted to reenforce it. Then with a remarkable number of non-cussing swear words, Steve managed to not only mount the rails, but mount them level. We have a working drawer again! YAAAAAAY!!!!

WTG Steve!
