Under-stairs cupboard + WIP

[RogerS]

I think this is a very useful post. Far more valuable to see the things that can go wrong - and how to put them right - rather than 'I did this and it was all perfect.'

It's a bit late to say it, but in case you have to take out your level plinth... I think I would have put a block in the unreachable back corner and screwed down through it into the floor. I'd then have put a slender wedge in each of the other corners, knocked each one in until the board was level, then screwed down into each one to stop it moving.

I would if I could fit in there to do it!

....but everyone else (apart from us on here) will just think 'he took a long time fiddling about with that cupboard before he finished it!' ;-)

You've been listening to my wife!

Entertaining stuff, thanks for posting. It's hard to give advice because of the danger of mis-understanding the problem. Going back a page (I've only just arrived on this thread) I would have said put in a frame of some sort and level and plumb that up. The adjusting feet were a good idea. I would probably have used them to level it then take it out and make shims up the same thickness that each leg protrudes, then screw down through the base and newly glued on foot/shim. The first problem (above)....after measuring the vac!! cut down the drawer. Not sure I can visualise the second problem just posted enough to respond.

A frame would have been better but for the stringer support which I guess could have been taken out and then replaced but at the risk of disturbing the paint seal etc between the wall and other stringer. Plus the stringer isn't perfectly straight or square!

That's near identical to mine - the wine rack next to the safe!

In our house the winr rack (and contents!) would need to be in the safe, not next to it! :lol: :shock:
