minus-squareCatfish@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·13 days agoWell I did done fuck up. Assumptions and failure to measure causes flat pack furniture to not fit. Going to need a Frankenstein solution.
minus-squareRusty Raven @aussie.zoneMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·13 days agoI always measure 47 times to make sure things I buy are going to fit. And I still manage to get it wrong sometimes, especially if there are clearances for opening doors or similar involved.
minus-squareCatfish@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·13 days agoThis is one of those over the loo arch shelf things. Utterly unflushable unless raised 3 inches. Fits perfect every other direction. Gah!
minus-squareCEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·13 days agoI’d build it to height then make the rest hollow to fit the legs in.
minus-squareRusty Raven @aussie.zoneMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·13 days agoClearance issues. It’s always some sort of clearance that messes things up! I have a little cupboard in the bathroom that fits perfectly, except for a compartment on top with a lift up lid which hits the bench overhang.
minus-squaremelbaboutown@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·13 days agoPut lockable castors on the bottom?
minus-squareCatfish@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·12 days agoNice idea! Need a bit more height than the ones I’m aware of
