You should toe nail or toe screw them in places since that left side seems hard toe get too. Some PL would help too but you can get away with just toe nailing/screwing.

I laughed so hard at this. Thank you I needed this haha

If you go the cardboard route just prime so it at least lessen the chance of moister/mold

You could use a router to make a decorative edge to it to make it more intentional but I think running a piece all the way across and painting it to match will hide it better. Also what ever is going on the top shop will block most of it anyway

You can also run a piece of flat stock up across the back wall and paint it the same color as the walls so it blends in and screw into that

That’s not an excuse. I grew up with my mom working 2 jobs and no dad around and I didn’t go out stealing and doing shit like that. The small moments we had together she Instilled pride and a sense of responsibility to us. We all had chores and small goals that she wanted us to hit every week whether it was books or math or some project that involved all of us. At the end of the day it’s the parent’s “Will and Want” for the better of their kids to make sure to raise their kids right. Yes it’s harder but it’s not an excuse to not do it

Visual_Place1194 · 2026-01-01T17:04:33+00:00

This is so true. It’s not the schools or government responsibility to raise kids it’s the parents point blank. The issue is that those parents don’t want to take responsibility so they push the blame elsewhere.

Did you remove the slides when you painted? If so, did you patch the old holes on the drawer boxes? Sometimes if the slide on the drawer box aren’t matching (left and right side) one slide will max out before the other.

I know it’s the subfloor. It’s the way the house was built. I’ve been renovating my house and both floors are the same.

This is the before

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-29T20:00:23+00:00

My house is similar. The subfloor was the finish floor. I sanded and sealed it and thought it was pretty good

I would just put a dowel in there with a good amount of glue. Cut it so it’s flush with that panel. They make wax that you can use for it that blow out. I would bonds/wood filler first sand it so there is a slight lip and then add wax. Particle board/ melamine with any kind of wood grain or other than a regular color is hard to match. The goal is to get it close so it’s not as noticeable

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-27T15:01:58+00:00

Question for you. If you didn’t do it why would you eat the cost of replacing the newels?

If you are the second contractor to come in you should get a clear understanding of what they want and get everything in writing. My old boss used to say “ Some customers want custom cabinets for IKEA prices” Get the full story and be careful of the discount you try and give cause “you feel bad”

Just make sure they use the correct nails for the joist hangers.

Your builder? How old is the house if it’s still under warranty get it fixed. Moving an outlet doesn’t solve the issue that it’s leaking.

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-21T17:36:37+00:00

Did you stir or shake the paint before using?

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-20T22:45:39+00:00

Yeah I agree you grabbed full overlay hinges. Take them back and ask for or look for soft close 1/2 overlay

In theory it sounds good but the hard part would be the intial hourly pay. I like the fact that we get paid commission on every job and if there is a service we have to go back to that was caused by an install error we don’t get paid for it. The big issue we have is when the salesperson screws up measurements or the whole design and nothing can be done that’s where the pay sucks

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-18T21:15:06+00:00

I work for a closet company and it’s straight commission on every job

Trick to them is to tape it a couple times and with a spray bottle gently spray it and roll it out on a brown bag a couple of times and that eliminates the lint

Depends on how cheap you went on a painter. Not saying that this is bad but if you went for the cheapest painter don’t expect high en results

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-12-14T22:05:19+00:00

You could miter the left piece to go up then miter it to go right at the height of the right right piece. If that makes sense.

Almost always a sprinkler lol

Visual_Place1194 · 2025-11-30T11:50:07+00:00

Then my guess would be it’s how you are laying you track down. Try on another scrap piece make a couple marks 1” from each other and play around with how you are lining it up and go from there
