I've painted cabinets before and never done that much prepping before. Glad yours turned out well. I could use a grab bar when I'm having my arthritis flare up.

I'm encouraged now. I'd be MORE encouraged if you'd just come to mine for me, though! ;-) I'll provide the wine, you do the painting. Sound like a deal? ;-)<br /><br />You guys are smart to keep the grab bar and wider door. You never know when someone will be in your home (possibly even you!) who will need/appreciate it. When I had my shoulder surgery last year, we had grab bars installed in the master bathroom (we were having the shower area re-tiled at the time anyway, so perfect timing!) knowing that after that surgery would come 2 more and that the grab bars would come in very handy. They're not just for the old and infirm. They came in handy when I was having dizzy spells, too. Nice peace of mind.<br /><br />TERRIFIC job, and no liver damage. Can't beat that!
