I didn’t realize how many factors determine if you’re using the right ones. Turns out our contractors installed ones that weren’t right for us.Sigh.If I had known all of this, it would have alleviated a lot of frustration for me.<a href="https://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-how-to/doors-drawers/drawer-slides-demystified" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-how-to/doors-drawers/drawer-slides-demystified</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/HomeRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeRepair</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DYI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DYI</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Kitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kitchen</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Contractors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Contractors</a>

Lee from Philly 🇺🇦Some facts that just can’t be repeated enough about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a>. This is a man known for stiffing contractors just because he knew he could. He knew the amount of money it would take to sue him was beyond what most contractors had. So any young guys out there working as <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/contractors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contractors</a> (he’s hoping it’s young white guys that he can get to vote for him.), please keep that in mind. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> never honors his word, as evidenced by the fact he did not bring down the national debt nor your taxes.
