    You know if you put a handle on the dummy door you can use it as a hand towel hanger or something else😊

    @Steviegtr52 13 днів тому +8

    As someone already said. The hinges are adjustable. You slacken of the main holding screw , then adjust the other screw which moves the hinge in or out to suit. When done tighten back up the main holding screw.

    Jay, Jen& Puppies, you are absolute classics. Totally Crack me up 😂😂
    Loved watching the pups burrowing in the snow, so sweet!
    It's never a dull moment with you guys! Gets super crazy funny at times. Wouldn't miss it for anything.
    Mini cabin is looking really good! I like the idea of a handle on the fake drawer.
    Thanks for a great video.
    Take care & stay safe.

    Put a handle on the face plate to the sink cabinet, add a couple hinges and those little storage bins they have for sinks and you’ll have a great places for sponges, bottle brushes, etc.

  • @kristiphillips7783
    @kristiphillips7783 13 днів тому +1

    I think yes on the handle. Sorry Jen! Just more pleasing to the eye. You can hang a pretty hand towel from it if nothing else and may come in handy during food prep and to dry your hands when doing dishes. Just my opinion. As always, do what makes YOU happy😃! Stay warm and safe!! Love this little cabin!!

  • @Epkis2
    @Epkis2 13 днів тому

    Sorry Jay, I agree with Jen on the drawer pull. For power, you should setup the solar tracker for the smaller cabin, it seemed to pull a lot of power in for you and you can just set it up with the old panels/batteries you originally had at the main cabin. For main cabin water I was thinking maybe you setup one of those diesel heater things under the house set at just above 32F as a safeguard against freezing, and you could store water under there in the winter months. Alternatively, just buy a big water tank and rent an excavator, it would be fun to watch Jay dig a hole with an excavator. Stay warm, syrup season is coming.

    Hello Jay and Jen, No to handle, towel holder instead. Try shimming the bottom of cabinet up a little bit on left side.. sometimes you can use a block of wood and a hammer to hit the outside bottom right in to give you more adjustment or spacer behind that hinge...

    • @jacquelinewells7575
      @jacquelinewells7575 13 днів тому

      I agree with you on the pull. Was thinking the same thing that maybe a long towel holder made the same as the handles would look good. Up to you guy’s though.

    How to fix the gaps? A trick people use on guitar strap buttons is to fill the existing holes with toothpicks and wood glue and drill new holes. That might be your only option if the hinges won't adjust any further. That or buy different hinges that can adjust more to your liking.

    Looks like the new sled is working out for you.
    Here in northeast Missouri we are still dealing with the aftermath from an 18 inch snow from 10 days ago The temperatures haven't warmed up enough to melt it.
    Good choice with the dark cabinet hardware.
