Every house we have lived in the past had really old kitchen cabinets. I hated how ugly they were and dreamed of new cabinets. So when we moved I was sooooo excited about this house because of the new kitchen cabinets. However, that excitement quickly diminished. They are very pretty but are poorly made and are not meant to withstand the heavy use of a large family. Plus the previous owner installed them himself and didn't know what he was doing. One fell apart last Christmas, but luckily my brother-in-law, Chuck, was here and he fixed it for us. Recently, the ones holding the microwave oven up fell completely apart and became a huge hazard. Harry helped me take it all down in pieces. As we were taking it down, I was sure we were in big trouble and that it was going to cost us a small fortune to return it to some type of a normal kitchen. I slowly tried to replicate what Chuck had done and added some of my own inventions. I was able to get the cabinets back together but was nervous about getting them back up and stable enough to hold up the microwave. But we did it and it really didn't cost us much of anything other than wood glue, some scrap wood and some metal reinforcements. Yeah we did it!!!! The funny thing is I would rather have the ugly stable cabinets than these. I guess... I'm just never happy.
