• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Got these fitted over the last couple of days. had a bit of a problem with the robes as the ceiling swept up at one point more than I had allowed on the filler strip. I will have to make a new filler strip and return to fit it along with the cornice. I will have to then fit the handles as the wrong ones were sent. :roll:
Anyway here are the photos so far.


I managed to get the drawer units fitted with a bit more luck but even this gave me a headache as one of the drawer runners broke as soon as the box was fitted! :x As soon as the box was slid in one of the small plastic tabs broke off for the soft close! :shock: It still works well but without soft close now. :roll: I shall have to order another set or maybe even complain a bit and see what happens. Here are the photos of these in place and these were the correct handles....luckily. :lol: Ignore the screw holes in the architrave as they might be coming off again to accommodate a slide out shoe rack next to the drawers. (More work for me) :D

 
Looks good and I bet you made it all in a day!

They look like full extension runners on those drawers. I've used the soft close version of them before and they do feel a bit clunky when the mechanism is primed pulling the drawer out and also sometimes when closing so I'm not too surprised something broke on one.
 
Alan, that looks very smart! :D

Same comment about doing it in one day - do you drink lots of Red Bull?

Cheers

Great stuff as always. Are all those drawers the same depth (front to back) or do they get bigger as they go down as the space behind increases with the sloping roof?
 
Thanks guys. Er, no these took two weeks to build. (Wish I could do it in a day) :lol: Yes Andy the drawer boxes get deeper as they go down to allow for the roof trusses.
 
I got these finished today as the door knobs turned up. I fitted the trim strip and the cornice and the customer was very happy with them.


I also added a small trim strip to the bottom of the drawers to cover a gap and filled the screw holes.

I am getting the duff runners replaced FOC so will return to fit those in a week or two. :D
