House repairs...

Yeah, I will probably just add more wood to the bottom. The problem is that I already re-glued the bottom and you know how solid wood glue is; I'll probably break the wood before I break the bond. Relocating hinges would work, but there is already a recessed area made for the existing hinges, which means I'd have to use wood putty or something to fill in where they were. Getting new doors is another option, but I noticed none of my doors are the same (or standard) size; they are all slightly different dimensions. Man, what a PITA it is to fix anything!

I used masking tape when I made my cuts, so splintering was minimized. I just sanded off the little splintering there was and use a little bit of wood putty to clean it up.

We do have a Habitat place in town, but they tend to not have enough of whatever I'm looking for. Seems a good place to go to replace a one-off item, but not good enough to replace a set of anything.
