Q: How do I ensure drawers fit properly?

• <div><p>Careful measurement is crucial&mdash;measure multiple times and account for hardware thickness, seasonal wood movement, and clearance requirements. Test-fit components before final assembly, and consider building one drawer as a prototype before cutting materials for multiple units.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand cabinets before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, sanding cabinets before you stain them helps the new stain better adhere to the surface. If you&rsquo;re adding a darker stain to previously stained wood, you only have to sand them lightly enough to remove any finish and rough up the wood to improve adhesion. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re trying to stain wood that is a darker color or that has paint on it, you need to sand down to the original wood, or the color will show through the new stain.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace lower cabinets without removing the countertop?

• <div><p>It's possible to replace lower kitchen cabinets without removing the countertop. However, there are some special considerations to keep in mind. Expect to disassemble the existing cabinets without compromising the countertop's support. You might not be able to reuse the cabinets you remove. Next, you'll have to slightly modify the tops of the new cabinets and install blocking after installation to attach the base to the countertop.</p></div>

Q: Can my upper cabinets support the weight of new materials on top?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not usually a problem, although you may want to check the specifics of your cabinets first. A wall of kitchen cabinets can support about 600 pounds, including what&rsquo;s inside and anything resting on top. Keep that limit in mind when adding DIY shelves or d&eacute;cor to the tops of cabinets. If you are installing a new row of full cabinets, they&rsquo;ll typically have their own support mechanisms and the added weight will be minimal.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood should I use for garage shelves?

• <div><p>Standard 2x4 boards and plywood or particle boards are sturdy and cost-effective for making garage shelves, and pressure-treated 2x4s are best for any portion that will contact an unfinished concrete slab in the garage. You can create custom shelving with these materials or use standard sizes for fewer cuts. Plywood and 2x4s are easy to work with and cut with a standard miter saw. The natural wood offers a modern look and will hold up for decades.</p></div>
