The job that inspired my previous posts about drawer slides and
soft-close adapters has been completed with great success and client
satisfaction.

I ended up taking accurate measurements of the inside width of the
cabinet boxes, calculating the space needed for the drawers/slides
combined width, and fabricating custom spacers in my shop. I also had
to do a bit of surgery on one cabinet because the drawer opening was
about 1/8" too narrow. Fein MultiMaster to the rescue!!

Thanks to everyone for the advice and recommendations.
The KV8500 slides were indeed very heavy duty and up to the task. I
have some reservations about the plastic parts on them, but I'll hold
off judgment until I get called back because one of them broke. :-)
The jury is also still out on the soft-close adapters but they seem to
function well. Time will tell.

Everything took me thrice as long as I initially thought it would-- par
for the course for new ventures like this. But I picked up some skills
and knowledge that will help the next repair job go a lot faster.
Bottom line is the client was thrilled. Check out this review they left
for me on the Thumbtack website I use for leads...

5/5 Stars
"He redid our slides for our cabinets. They were breaking constantly and
we didn't know if they were fixable. When Mike came to look at them, he
talked to us about everything that was wrong with them and what he could
do to make them work again. He was AMAZING! If anyone were to ask for a
handyman contact I would give them his information immediately. He is
VERY trustworthy & works very hard. You can also tell he loves what he
does and he wants to make sure every job he does he completes 110%. He
is amazing!!!"

I'll take it. :-)

And you should, congratulations!
