Why? Because the left hand door started swinging closed almost as soon as you open it. It never used to do that. It's a pain when reaching in the cabinet for things when getting ready in the morning.
Then, yesterday when I was cleaning the bathroom I reached into the cabinet for the toilet cleaner. Something rang a little alarm bell in my head - the cabinet just felt different ... and I thought I heard the faintest of sounds. I pushed on the cabinet a little and something just felt a bit off. I stepped back and looked at the cabinet and realised that it was hanging slightly skew.
Grant and I immediately unpacked it and removed it from the wall. This is what the left hand screw hole looked like - absolutely normal, rawl plug still in place:
But this is the right hand side - it had started ripping from the wall:
I can't believe we almost had another wall-cabinet-falling disaster!! And it would have killed or severely injured whoever was sitting on the toilet at the time, and/or smashed the glass shower enclosure in the process! I am so grateful that I felt / heard / sensed something before it happened.
We now have to reinforce the current holes and add more brackets to hang the cabinet from - 6 instead of the usual 2, just to be sure.
While the cabinet is off the wall I have the chance to show you my new jewellery organising system: 3M Command hooks stuck to the sides to hang my necklaces and hoop earrings. They are removable without damaging the surface. You can hardly see them when the cabinet is hung.
