Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
No detailing this week, although there is some crossover.
I pre-ordered this extra large cabinet last November, shortly after ordering the flooring.
These cabinets were not due for release until the end of December, mine was not dispatched until mid January. And of course it arrived after the public holiday last week, which means it sat in the box for another 5 days. But it's here now and, after being held back a few hours due to doctor appointments, is now assembled and stocked.
As mentioned, this is a big bugger at 1525mm x 610mm x 1840mm. It would have just fit the space next to the sink and ultimately replace my current chemical and microfiber cabinets. I decided to leave that beast alone for now, allowing me to find a home for various tools that were displaced by removing the array of cabinets along the left side of the garage. Those particle board cabinets were water damaged and just not what I wanted so were re-located to my storage facility.
A big cabinet meant two large boxes and a lot of pieces, which I sorted into their sections and emptied the assorted screws and bolts into some bowls. Hope you like the poka-dots!
Then it was a case of following the assembly guide, slowly and carefully. Piece by piece, the assortment of panels started to turn into a cabinet.
As mentioned, this cabinet will hold general household and automotive tools, fixings, my vacuum and..............a surplus of gallon size chemicals!
And the best bit? I have freed up space for more products in the cabinet and under the sink!

That looks great .
I'm currently trying to decide if I want a tall locker cabinet or some wall mounted cabinets. I need a place to store my detailing supplies.
I might eventually do both. The cabinets would be above the workbench. And a tall cabinet next to it.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Installed an extra 1Tb of storage on my PS5. Watched a video and the guy was right, the hardest part was removing the cover (literally just pulling up to remove).
Now I can transfer the rest of the games from my PS4. Not a lot of them, but the standard internal storage on the 5 is lacking.
Tomorrow I'm dropping my 5.0 engine parts off for some machining.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Had to build up a support pier for our exterior stairs because we had some erosion and now a dirt/rock guy is going to be building up the affected corner of the building
Added 3 blocks over the existing support block, 4 rebars, and 2 bags of Sakrete
After the concrete sets I will put in a new bracket and fit the post back
I poured the extra Sakrete around the base just to use it up
That will be covered
The backfill will be halfway up the top block

I'm guessing from torrential rain?
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Yeah, we don’t get much where we are but when we do during the monsoons it’s a LOT all at once
We had our upper driveway widened a bit and gravel spread after we bought the house 4 years ago and the guy who did the work actually changed the pitch and instead of the water running down the inside of the drive and down to the canyon it goes roaring across the property
The guy who originally cut the lot immediately knew what the problem was and is going to put it back the way it should be
