D.I.Y wasn't this done before?! - The Cupboard Door

This cupboard door has been wonky since I was young. Now I am home, sick of looking at it, and going to fix it.



To fix it, I need to make the wood firmer (this all sounds so dirty XP).


For this, I'm using wood glue and match sticks.




I had a little 'helper':



And a surprise guest!


That is a damn red back spider!

The first screwdriver I found was broken :(


This is meant to be a flat head screwdriver!

I wanted to take the door off properly, but the bottom screw of the top hinge was tightened by Hercules himself. 



I could get it out, but I'm trying to fix things, not destroy them.
So I just worked around it.



Once the glue dried, I flattened off the matchsticks and put the screws back in.


Adding a third screw.

And done!

Verdict: It's much more secure now and doesn't feel like it will fall off in your hands.
I wish I had power tools, it would make this all so much easier!
