Well it would help if they were in the same country, heck in the same store, you bought the stuff from. I don't ever Ikea. Not ever.

Bob is suuuuch a dad! He totally amps up his kids to make them feel good about their work even tho he's probably assembled a hundred kitchens in his time. "Papa, look what we built." "Woooowwwww ooohh aahhh, good job kids!" He's just the best

Guys, I got into the habit of telling my mom I loved her at the end of our calls, and when we leave each other. She loves it! At first she thought it was odd, but now she's into it, and she seems happier. She's a widow, and I know at times she feels alone. By the way, I love Bob too!

Secret with ikea is to keep it organized, and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! They do tell you everything. Just dont skip the step, read every word, dont rush and even when you think you know how it goes, you dont! Follow the instructions.

When you plan to build something complex from ikea, the most important part is that you make sure you are able to focus enough to see all the details in the instructions. This is why Eamon fails a little bit, he tries to think for himself which is generally good but with ikea you have to really take in the instructions, not make your own plan in your head.

Yeah, because there’s always some other configuration that any given piece might also be used in (necessitating different holes or whatever). I have come to really enjoy IKEA assembly, but you have to become one with the instructions and not wing anything. If I can’t see it what they mean at first, I’ve learned to sit with the booklet longer rather than trying to figure it out by playing around with the gear too much.

Ikea drawer help: there are two sets of holes on the actually TRACK that you screw into the cabinet. When you are moving the track up and down to different holes in the cabinet, you can also make smaller adjustments by screwing into different holes on the track itself. There is a top set of holes and a bottom set. Hope this helps! You guys are awesome.

And don't forget the hidden drawers use the middle of the three holes, both front and back. That way the Utrusta drawer front is flush with the cabinet and not sticking out. Just built a huge ikea kitchen... loved it. Just remember RTFI - Read The Instructions. 🙃

Your drawer build... OMG. So there's exactly, two way to set up the structure on the drawer face (one if it's the first down - the other if it's middle or top) and three way to setup the slides. These rules are written on 3 sets of explanations!!! It took me 2 bottoms drawers to understand the catch. My husband had one cabinet and one drawer totally mismounted, throwed him out, did the rest.... SO MUCH EASIER ALONE!

Bruce was OBVIOUSLY a gigantic help in the installation of the island and the stove!!

I so wish I'd been there to help you with the installation. I am weird, I love assembling IKEA items but I have to be doing it alone or it all goes wrong. Sometimes one head is better than 4. Instead I am in Ireland staying with my family for the first time in 3 years, being thoroughly spoilt as today is my birthday and we had a lovely BBQ in my brothers stunning garden overlooking the river watching the boats sail up and down in 27°C heat which is most unusual for Ireland. A perfect birthday, love them to bits.

Use that little space for putting in a narrow cabinet for storing baking sheets upright with large lids!

Hi Guys! Nice kitchen as a Swedish person I of course have IKEA kitchen, maybe you already figure this out, but you can adjust the hight of the draws up and down at the side whit a screwdriver, maybe not will help you but I was glad when I found out this when i build my kitchen last year. Have a nice day!

Cabinetmaker tip: assemble everything first then install in place. Also clamp your two cabinets together at the gables when screwing them to each other or to a panel, use a countersink (shallow one so you don't poke through) and a shallow pan head screw. This avoids saw dust from getting in between the gables and leaving little gaps between the cabinets.

Bob always brings pure joy, happiness and relief!❤️👏🏼❤️ Love him!❤️
