See my comments re Phil in my reply to Delores.<br />What they decide to do to rectify the problem will be very interesting as only one third of the cupboards have been affected.

The drawer was not wet but it was the 'floor' of the cupboard underneath that had swollen up and jammed the bottom drawer.<br />I now realise how easy it is to do something like that so must be more careful in future. Is it an age thing? No I don't think so but just a lapse.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-62301369144046433512014-02-10T18:39:01.149+08:002014-02-10T18:39:01.149+08:00It's OK your comment is here in its entirety s...It's OK your comment is here in its entirety so no worries.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-2659529139812608122014-02-10T18:19:51.741+08:002014-02-10T18:19:51.741+08:00Bugger, I had a comment here but it wouldn't p...Bugger, I had a comment here but it wouldn't publish, now I can't remember what I said.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-38096945751380323022014-02-10T18:17:47.206+08:002014-02-10T18:17:47.206+08:00Oh no!
