I'm finally taking your advice. I'm gonna install a door right here no that that side of the bathroom matches this side. See how the color stops right tier. So I ordered a door with these exact measurements and I think it's gonna help the bathroom feel much more clean and tidy and symmetrical. I'm excited. This was all your idea. Welcome to things I've been putting off. This is episode 12. This tier is from new cabinet doors, and this color is called foothills. Added some trim right here to match the other side. I'm using some playing cards as spacers. This part's gonna be hard because it's such a tight space to get my drill around. I think I need a mirror. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I got it. The most awkward angle. The drill won't fit at some of these angles. So I think we're gonna try to do a ratcheting screwdriver and just like force it. It's worse. Best step. Moment of truth. Looks good. It already looks more cohesive with the rest of the bathroom. The cool thing about these European inset hinges is you can adjust everything. Now all the gaps look pretty good. Yay. No I can hide a lot more junk in here. I'm so happy with how this turned out. I think you guys were right. I think it looks way better in here like this. I love it. Good call guys. This was all you. Episode 13 is tomorrow, so follow for more.
