And fill it...

And fill it...

That's the easy bit

 

[JohnM]

But emptying it is more pleasurable...

2-3 bottles each weekend not drunk for seven months.... But we also bought less over that time.

@TomVexille gave up booze in sympathy? That's awesome. Or am I reading too much into that? :S

It’s a nifty looking thing. Can’t wait to see a photo once it’s up and filled.

He mostly drank beer but a few bottles were consumed along the way.

My understairs area holds my Dyson and ironing board. I like yours much better.

We have a hall cupboard for those.

Ours is full of luggage! The most bulkiest item ever.

We finally got a chest of drawers for the bedroom; it took ages to find something I liked.

Just a suggestion....

Hopefully not totally filled up yet but have you though about adding a few thin pieces (around 4-8mm) of plywood or the like at the front corners and middle of the run?

That way the center of gravity for the unit is moved towards the back.

So when a couple of higher drawers are pulled fully open it is much less likely to fall forward. Something modern chests of drawers seem to do much more often than the older more solidly built (aka weighted down) ones do.

It's so heavy I don't think it has any chance of falling over. And the drawers can't be pulled all the way out, they have catches.

Not quite finished putting everything in yet.
Still not drinking much so it likely won't look too different.

I’m guessing you get fairly even temperatures in the HP cupboard ?

Yeah it seems to be pretty good as it's in the centre of the house.

Had the tiler and builder here this morning, as we have a couple of tiles in our shower that have cracked. They have finally decided to replace the tiles. Theyre also going to sort out the creaking floor in the ensuite, which will require either the floor to be pulled up, or the ceiling below.

That's a PITA. At least you have two bathrooms, so you will still be able to bathe.
