Tony left last night with strict instructions that I was NOT to try to pull out my broom closet He even used tape to make an X over the whole thing - stinker. I was totally going to pull it out and take pictures for you.

He's going to finish it up tonight and I'll show you how it looks. What I saw him working on yesterday morning was a rectangular cube (yes, I know that makes no sense but work with me)with one side left open. He attached a piece of toe kick along the bottom of the open side for support. That's the part that's going to pull out. In the space in my kitchen, he built an open plywood box as a frame that the pull-out fits into. That got screwed into the wall and ceiling.

Pictures tonight.

That sounds exactly like something my dh would do. But you know that has the opposite affect: If something says, "DON'T TOUCH", what do most people want to do?Now don't you go getting any ideas!!

Jen, I know I said it before, but it bears repeating. You've got a good Tony. Hopefully when all is said and done, you'll be able to recommend him to others looking for an IKEA installer/contractor in your area.

YAY! I can't wait to see pictures.

Craig said that he'd look at that 5" hardware but I'm not sure it can be sized down for a 4" or not, that's my main concern. Maybe we'll call Ovis and see what they say unless Tony or you can figure it out...
