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!
