    Recently made these custom floating drawer units for a customer with a 42" wall mounted bathroom sink. It has a flat bottom, so they'll be mounted flush to the bottom (the reason for no top). Once mounted, they'll appear to be one unit. The space in the middle is to accommodate the plumbing. The outer boxes will be secured to studs with structural screws. She wanted "cheap" so no fancy joinery or drawer slides. Glue & screws and simple wood strips/runners the drawers slide on (a little wax does wonders). They slide very nice with no binding. Pics to follow after installation.

    Thanks. I like to think simple/cheap $ doesn't necessarily equate to poor quality.

    I think that the "simple" designs are the most elegant.

    Indeed. That's why Shaker style furniture is my favorite. Timeless in it's function/simplicity.

    Same here, I like the Mission style and Craftsman/Shaker furniture. The South West/ Spanish Mission is really beautiful.

    I didn't follow the entire saga besides the shoddy "troubleshooting" from the paid mechanic. Was the core issue the bad fuel distribution block?

    Snapped off tiny ball bearing from the factory that turns the plunger on cylinder 1 and controls the fuel amount. It was stuck open and dumping fuel which explained the black smoke, rough running, and not shutting down. “Common issue” according to the local Kubota dealer.

    Morning
    Snow, sleet, freezing rain is on the agenda.
    Trying to decide when to clear the driveway for afternoon heavy ups delivery.
    Don’t want the driver to have to walk from the road as some packages are 60 to 70 pounds.
    Don’t want the truck to press the surface to ice either so…..
    Sucks when you have feelings…
    Just don’t tell anyone..

    Watch out for morons today.…

    REMEMBER, IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S THEM!!!
