Made to measure

With the walls now painted, Brian spent yesterday afternoon cutting and staining a spacer, so that we could push the cupboard into the corner, and that it would fit perfectly without any gaps between the cupboard and the wall.

He did this, by first cutting a piece of wood just wide enough to fit. He needed to ensure it was actually the right shape, because, of course, the cupboard is old and a bit twisted, and the wall is not perfectly straight. Things never are.

Once he knew it fitted, he stained it with a couple of different stains he had to achieve the right colour, then waxed it, before attaching it to the cupboard and pushing it into place.
