D.I.Y Did You Do That!? - Upper Cupboard Door

I came home from work last night to see this:

I asked what happened and apparently the screws of the door failed. 
Then someone, lets say PUx... no, that's too obvious, x2, tried to fix it.

He did this by taking the door off and trying to fill in the holes with an unwieldy acrylic cement.

This was the mess he left PU1 and myself to tackle.

So let's get some new screws.

We can reuse the old hinges.

First we need to scrape off some of that cement to get a flat surface, so the door will shut.

Why did he even use it in the first place?!

Then we screw in and glue the hinge to the door.

Babycat gave us a helping hand. 

He's the best! <3

I marked up the cupboard then PU1 and I took turns holding the door and drilling it in place. (It was far too hot today for this task)

Finished!

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!
