I don't know

Since I have time on my hands I feel like blogging more, but I am also as always avoiding house cleaning.

I had a disappointing experience building my new storage cabinets and that really set me back. I had gotten it into my head that I need closed storage so that my place can stay clean. So I bought these large cabinets from Rona (Air Miles!) to fit in the little alcove in my room. I built the smaller one first and it was challenging but I did complete it eventually, though it was a bit crooked. The larger one took a lot longer and was completely crooked. The back panel has a big gap at the top corner because no matter what I did I could not get it level. The toe kick piece didn't line up either and got busted when I moved it into place. The problem is I can't even lift it now to fix that piece. The doors are what really upset me though. I could not close them so had to redo them and they are still crooked. I gave up at the 3rd door, so it's been laying on the floor all week. On a positive note, the cabinets are at least serviceable, and once I put up the last door I can at least put away a lot of stuff and get rid of all my mismatched shelving. But, I feel beaten. The cabinets were too much for me!
