How To Fix Your Drawers
The Excuses
Well, it has been a while and I have been forced uh, er… encouraged to do a post on my recent household honey-do list cross-off marathon.

In Retrospect
I must say I felt pretty bad about not doing it sooner and letting myself talk myself out of it. Sad that I was thinking I couldn’t do it. Fear of failure is pretty lame. I did it and it felt really good.
It is a great way to make your kitchen look better. It can be done on a budget and not spend 50 thousand dollars on a new kitchen.

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.
