Today's job was to transform the wee cabinet in the corner into the wee rubbish cabinet in the corner.
It all came in a kit that was designed for the 400mm wide cabinet that contained 2 medium sized bins. The kit was not cheap by any stretch, but at least it would be all plug-and-play .. or so I thought.

Step 1 was to remove the door and install the rail into the pre-drilled holes. Only there was no pre-drilled holes. So I had to drill them..

Next, I needed to install the door mounting hardware onto the door's pre-drilled holes. Only there was no pre-drilled holes so I had to make some myself once again.

But at last, I was finally able to get things all mounted and things would just be open and shut .. except the door didn't shut properly.. The kit now needed to be adjusted. 4 screws, how hard could that be ... 30 min later I finally had a door that shut properly.
Overall, I got the result that I was looking for .. a nice tucked away place to put all our rubbish and recycling, making good use of the wee cabinet in the corner. The kit was well made and works a charm now .. but it was definitely anything but plug-and-play.
So, in this case I'm happy to say that I did some rubbish work!
