Karen has prepared the cupboard with a lick of paint, and now it is time to put some stuff back under the stairs.. but firstly we need to get some power there.Which gives us a long saga about the merits of converting a garage into a room (that was done sometime ago, but it seems to have been redone since). And in the redoing, there is a services cupboard with gas and electric meters and fuse boxes, etc. This is done all nice and shiny with special wide-opening door hinges and such. And a chipboard floor, to keep all the dust out.
However as is becoming apparent, things are never quite what they seem. The floor is just big enough to fit under the door frames, and so can’t be lifted out. And the cables that need to be repositioned for the power can’t be moved until the floor is lifted. And one side is wedged under the gas main that means you can’t jiggle the thing out.
Still the front panel of the cupboard that provides the bar to shut the doors against has screws on it, so perhaps it undoes, and frees things up? Well the screws come out.. but the rest is glued..
Time for a large hammer me thinks..
