That $5 DVD from bunnings should give you a rough idea of what to expect, though some of it is specific to their own flatpacks. As I said, though, the tricky part is installing hanging wall cabinets on normal (gyprock) walls, because you usually don’t have studs in the right places.

Thanks for this article. We went for the Ikea kitchen mainly for design. We are about to install but instructions are lacking. Any advice?

“extremely-beneficial-to-humanity fun” That’s so great! I love it!

When the first Harry Potter book was released and I was about 8-years-old my dad refused to let me read them because he was worried that I would be lured into the world of witchcraft and satan worshiping (like many of the people you’ve mentioned above). However, even at a young age, after having read the first book, I could tell that that was not what these books were about. The greater good and the them of love just exude from Rowling’s writing. Even though I had to disobey my dad, I finished the series and when I explained the overall theme and outcome of the books to him, he felt pretty silly for having thought they were somehow “evil.”

Thanks. Yes, my wall cabinets look pretty secure, fingers crossed!
