Thanks for all your details, I appreciate it. About the quality and longlivity: IKEA gives on some parts, i.e. METOD kitchen, 25 years warranty. So I guess if the cabinets fall apart in 20 years, I will get new once from IKEA. ????

There must be a statistic somewhere how often people were fined for burning, or officially not find. Follow the money...

On the positive side I can still see your post without scrolling...

It sad that for many people there is just black and white. For many on the right everybody on the left is a radical woke idiot. And for many on the left everybody on the right is a neo-Nazi. It must be surprising for some people that there are all kinds of shades. And some people think some ideas of the moderate right are good and at the same time some ideas of the moderate left are good. A good part of us, I am sure the majority, could live happily together if the media and politicians wouldn't try to radicalize us all the time. I saw lots of short videos with Bill Maher. I think most of the time it is funny, and he describes reality pretty good. He talks to people from all political sites. He doesn't like the radicals on both sides. Great. Maybe we should all look more for things we have in common than things about we think differently. That helps to live in peace together.

That is not fair - for the trash. She is more like a fatberg in a sewer. But at least the fatberg is quiet.

Thanks for all your replies. I think when cabinets are surrounded by other cabinets then they probably don't need extra strengthening - they are screwed to the cabinets left and right and they hang on the wall. With the most outer cabinets left and right let's see when I install them. I guess I will at least strengthen the sink cabinet with a big hole in the bottom and likely no back wall. Maybe one repeated question: Which screws are best suitable for HMR and chipboard (I think that is what the IKEA material is called). What is the name of that screw type? What is the best screw size if I screw into 20mm wide material? I.e. screw a side wall into the bottom plate.

Real wood sounds good and looks good. But real wood has lots of disadvantages. I.e. it moves and changes its size depending on the temperature and moisture. If your comment is about having an extra piece of real wood to stabilize a certain area, then that might make sense - I don't know. But I will certainly not get everything in real wood. There is a reason, and not just cost, why this is often not used.

I bought her a uniform and I sit on my PC. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks, yes, I think normally they do the job. But sometimes a little more rigidity won't hurt. This video inspired me:

I still have to cut the holes and decide where to put the water heater. I thought I ask early to know what to do when I need it. Pictures later...

I want to install an IKEA kitchen. I bought already a cabinet for the sink and a few other parts to be able to check exactly where to install them. Under my sink is the wastewater pipe trough the floor. And some freshwater connections and a water heater are installed on the wall behind the cabinet. For that reason, I have to cut a sizable hole in the bottom of the cabinet and remove the thin back side completely or put a couple of holes in it. For me it seems if the cabinets are complete (without holes) then the included fasteners are just about good enough to hold it together. But with big holes that is a problem. For that reason I like to add some stabilizing elements like maybe a few extra screws from the side wall to the bottom plate. And maybe some wood supports in the back where there is space. I think about using HMR, High Moisture Resistance board for the supports. And obviously I need the correct screws for that material. In your opinion, is HMR, maybe 18mm thick, a good idea? Or what is better? And which screws are best? Name? Size? I have an idea about the screws. But there are lot of screws which look similar. Some are better for this, and some are better for that. Some require a pilot holes, others not. Here are lots of screws including Tapping Screws, Chipboard Screws, and others.

It's always interesting to see how active the police can be if they are motivated. Now what could this motivation be? ...

He didn't show up! Thaksin does not need a visa to visit Thailand. He is a Thai citizen and just show up. Thaksin decided to stay away and run away. He is not only a criminal, he is also a coward.

I wonder why some people want to be famous. What is good about being constantly in the news with this and that and everything?

How about this suggestion for the new politicians. Educate children in school that there is no money-tree. Spend only as much as you have. Only because your neighbor has a pickup doesn't mean you also have to buy one. And it is also possible to watch TV with a smaller TV set and call people with a cheap phone. And last but not least: If you learn a lot you will be able to do good work and then you will make more money. But all of above obviously doesn't matter as long as the bank is still willing to give you a loan...

Let us guess: What will happen if banks give money to people who were not able to pay for previous loans? Who comes up with those ideas?

I was in Bangkok when the last two coups happened. All quiet, all peaceful, and people gave flowers to the soldiers on the streets. Now why did they do that? Over to you.

Trump is the one who accuses others of partying...

The sad thing is the DEMs are still able to f#%$% it up all by themselves.

You sound surprised. Really?

You are right. And why does Trump do that? Because he is stupid? Or because he know his stupid followers will love it? Trump wouldn't have been president if not so many idiots would have voted for him. And many of those idiots would do it again. So what does he do? Make those idiots happy. This is America.

It's wonderful when the GOP candidates destroy each other. Great job! Good luck that Trump is such a conservative and he would never ever party.

I don't know if she is Thai. And I don't really care.

In many cases you will have the choice what you like and what you want to pay for. Lots of guys are happy to pay for an hour so that two hours later then can go back to the wife. ????
