The DIY Garbage Bin

When you´re getting older and would like to do a DIY project like mounting a garbage can kit, 
you might find it hard to do such a chore. I,  for one,  haven´t been active myself in the last 
two years. I used to do a bit of carpentry works just like my dad. 

The other week, I drove to Ikea ( I have no affiliation whatsoever)  to get a new garbage 
container for my kitchen. There were not much  choice, and  I found only two options: one 
was a galvanized can with cover that you have to open and close manually.... and the other one, 
a hard black plastic that has a white base  that can be  attached below the sink. It´s with a 
telescopic metal that you can simply take in and out and this is 

what I chose and  will be talking about in this post.

The kit was easy to install if it wasn´t for that limited space under the sink where 

you have to move and screw everything in place. So I did everything myself 

and had to prove to hubby that I can do it alone. 

After a while, everything has been mounted and of course, I was happy 

and proud that I have done it without help,... Later in the evening, I had an abdominal 
muscle pain and couldn´t explain what the pain was about. I began to get scared!

                                                                   

I dropped dead on that afternoon doing the mounting... I found out that the muscle pains have 
been from the DIY work of the never ending bendings here and there.
The next day was a disappointment, I found out that I forgot to put two screws 

to make the base stable  .....hhhhhm, typically me!

I was damming it because I had to unmount my work and start all over again. 

Thank God, the muscle pain subsided a bit and I repeated the work today, 

I couldn´t be happier!

Thank you for dropping by!
