Remember those big green glass sliding doors from IKEA? We sure do, they've been laying on the floor all week. Pretty scary for a couple of double-left-footed klutzes. The closet wall opening is custom fitted for these doors, but there is a problem: the rails that came with them are custom fitted for a standing cabinet. Shit. Four hours and three trips to Home Depot later, the decision's been made: we're going to IKEA hack those bitches. We called in an expert, Peter's dad came over and I watched them saw and drill through the irreplaceable rails.

Measure twice, cut once, don't screw it up. |

This is what happens when I insist the doors are flush with the wall. Start over boys. |

Those doors are TALL. |

Happy customers. OK, now how bad is that wood trim? |
Working into the night, after a few close calls, the doors are up. Not too happy about the wood trim contrasting with the green doors, but there are bigger things to worry about now.
