My clever husband

He is building us drawers for the 2 kitchen cabinets that we store our pots and pans in - so we can pull them out to get our stuff easily. We saw them at Lowes and they were $200 / cabinet - he said he was sure he could build them himself - has only $40 invested in them including paint, wood and hardware. They look great and I am proud of him for figuring this out and making them as he is not a woodworker usually.

Congratulations to your husband for figuring out to put the drawers together and for completing the project. I have drawers in all of my lower cabinets and I love them. I hope you enjoy yours.

Sounds like he's good with his hands.

That sounds wonderful!! He may have just started a new hobby (that would be a GREAT hobby)!

He's found the best way to save money is to do-it-yourself.

I wish my husband was handy with power tools but sadly he is not....

I am surprised that your kitchen didn't already have the pull out drawers, since I think you mentioned that your home is relatively new, my house is 30 years old and that was one feature that I liked really liked about the kitchen, you will love the pull out drawers.

I like it when someone is happy and he and/or she realizes they are happy.

Often people talk about the good old days. There is no such thing. The sad part is they were happy and they didn't realize at the time they were happy.

You are lucky to know that you are happy now.

Good for you.

He actually figured out his measurements and went to Lowes to get the wood. he had them cut it for him as he does not have a chop saw to do that. I think they do it for a small fee. he put them together and today he sanded and stained them. i think he will install them tomorrow.I am really looking forward to having them.

My late husband could do anything. People would ask me, "How does he know how to do this or that"? I asked him.

He said, "Just tell them I go get a book or look on line. But mostly it's because I'm not afraid to try".

There you have it. Ladies. You can probably do some of the things yourself. If you fail, don't give up, try again.

i am glad to hear you like them. he has put a lot of work into them. He said he thinks he will also make a set for the cabinets under our island in our camper. I am lucky to have a husband who likes to fix up things around the house. he is also very handy at repairing things, and he is supurb at getting stains out of laundry too. I think I'll keep him!

I have these, and love them! It's so easy to pull out what you need, quickly. It also makes putting away the clean pots/pans very easy.

My husband literally can't hammer a nail straight, ha, ha, but he's a good painter, better than nothing.

No wonder you are a happy housewife. My husband is good with cars. I have bottom cabinets like that, they came with the house and they do make life easier. Enjoy

HH, you are lucky .... your new drawers sound nice. I am the "fix it and maintain it " person in our household, but that's OK, I'm thankful that I have a DH that is a wonderful provider and a great guy (;
