April 30, 201610 yr comment_66112 My wife has a dog that sleeps with her. The dog is getting old and can no longer jump up on the bed. So she asked me to make a 3 step stair for the dog to use. Since the weather is nasty, showing, raining, cloudy, I said I would .I started and constructed the two sides and had paneling on each side. Now add the steps and it is done. But wait, something isn't right!! I looked again and took a break and had a coffee. In my haste to get this out of my garage, I had made 2 left sides. Report

April 30, 201610 yr comment_66120 I feel your pain Ron. A couple of years ago I made a cabinet for trash with a raised panel front door that tipped out. Somehow, I screwed and glued the shelf for the trash can to the outside of the door. Report
