Man, @fionanguyen is totally right about the battle of wills. But what about when the cabinet itself is out of whack? I had a base cabinet where the side was bowed in the middle. No amount of drawer tweaking fixed the binding. I ended up planing the high spot on the drawer side, which felt crazy, but it was that or rehang the whole cabinet. When is "good enough" just ignoring a bigger problem with the install?

We used concrete footings and extra-long posts for stability.

My local library's cooking demo last month was at 2pm on a Tuesday. That's the exact problem, these programs are designed for the unemployed or retired, not people with regular jobs. It creates a gap where the help never reaches the people who might actually need it most.

Man, that makes so much sense now. I've been using this one old pocket knife for years that basically needs me to lean my whole body weight into it. No wonder my hand cramps up after five minutes. I guess I'm the guy still trying to carve a turkey with a butter knife, complaining about how sore my arm is. Time to finally learn how to actually sharpen something.

A visual check can catch a lot of rot too.
