Thanks Gus,

That sounds great, I'll sent you a message here with my email addy.

I want to try making the entire 8' tall by 8" wide by 16" deep column slide out on four sets of full ext. drawer guides. How cool would that be?

Looks great. I would just be scared that it would kick in and the owner would fall.

Bass,looks good and it tied in nicely! I would think that there would be interest in your toe kick step. Not a whole lot of expense in materials and it looks to me a lot safer than one of the kids standing on a stool. Just gotta remember to always push it back into place.

The step grabs the floor well with 4 large, thick, felt pads. I think it is much safer than a standard stool.

Thanks, It is a rather simple idea, but not too easy to execute (tolerances are tight).

Thanks. This bathroom has an automatic nightlight built-in to the fan/light, and the dark-stained stool should be easy to see against the white floor... so I think we're cool.

"Oh I see" said the blind man as picked up the hammer and SAW.

I was hoping for a simpler solution but I have become accustom to disappointment.

I get it though, thanks

Thanks, This is in a house without a Master bath, so it is the main bath for the house. Nice to make it easier for both adults and kids to use.

G'day,

Bass

Click the little " (quotation marks)
button in the order you want
them to appear, until you get
to the final one then click Quote
for that one.
Just put your individual replies
in between.

Well what a great day it's shaping up to be!
First I get to go pick up the final check on that cabinet job from that other thread.

Then my wife throws me some V day love

Then to crown it off this little nugget of gold.

I'm embarrassed to list them in order of excitement in fear of being harshly judged. So you Bastids can just guess

Dude, that's waaay too easy!

Not surprisingly, I've been doing it the hard way. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers,
