Door or Window?

We ordered cabinets for the basement kitchenette and they arrived a few days ago -- 13 boxes worth of them! -- and it took us quite a while to get them all downstairs.

All but one.

The main cabinet is too big for the basement door. It measures 34-1/2 inches at its narrowest point; the door measures 32 at its widest.

Stupid basement door.

We tried to figure out a way to load it through one of the basement windows, but only one sash of the slider actually is removable. And I don't feel like tearing the window out of the side of the house just to get the cabinet through.

So ... maybe we'll take the basement door apart. Without the jambs and trim, it might just be wide enough!

:: We did think about taking the cabinet apart, but it was put together with nail guns, staples and glue, and the only way to take it apart is with a sledgehammer.

Oh, well, at least there's a ton of cardboard in the garage to play with!

After getting nowhere with the cabinet tonight, I sat down and watched "50 First Dates" with Cheryl and Deb.  Which would've been a fantastic little movie if not for the totally unnecessary "naughty bits" (what we in the business call "Sandlerisms") that tried to drag the intellectual level down to the gutter every ten minutes or so. Other than that, a great and ultimately tragically happy movie.

I'd love to see it with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.
