Ikea Dresser Drawer Bottom...
The Ikea dresser in the walk-in closet has one drawer where the bottom got deformed and fell out in the back.
It's deformed enough to interfere with the drawer below it...
CM uses this drawer.
She told me about the problem at 9 PM. Was done fixing at 9:40 PM...
Will install a reinforcement on the inside (there's not enough space on the outside for a wood reinforcement (bottom of drawer is too close to the next drawer below it.
Installed a reinforcing piece of 1/2" plywood on the inside bottom of the drawer.
Used screws to keep the flimsy drawer bottom connected to the reinforcement. (pre-drilled holes for all the screws)
Erased the pencil lines on the drawer front when done...
Used 5/8" screws on the bottom.
Used two long screws (1.5") from the front and back to keep the reinforcement in place.
Because the dresser is in a corner of the walk-in closet, below some hanging pants, the appearance of the two screws on the front of one of the drawers doesn't make any difference.
If it was in a visible location in a room, I would have used a metal bracket on the inside of the drawer, pocket screws or wood biscuits/glue so that screws would not be visible...
The plywood reinforcement takes up a little bit of space but not bad.
Done.
1986 Monterey Historics admission ticket stub
I knew about the event at the time.
Was still going to UCLA.
Went for the first time in the early 1990s...
I think it's about $100 now to go on Saturday.

Friday, July 16, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier
The parking lot is full.
Cars are waiting for people to leave...
Cannondale - Chainrings...
Both chainrings are pretty worn and corroded.
Need to replace both.
The small ring is 39 teeth.
The big ring is 53 teeth.
Shimano has an "A" type and a "B" type of chainring.
Mine are the B type.
Ordered a replacement small ring online (found a 7900 series 39 tooth small ring at a good price).
Still looking for a big ring at a reasonable price...
The groupset is Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 series (2004 through about 2008). In 2008, the 7800 series was replaced by the 7900 series.
Although everything was new, The bolt circle (130 mm) and the five bolt pattern was kept the same so a 7900 series chainring will work on a 7800 series groupset.
The 7900 series was replaced with the 9000 series in 2012.
The 9000 series used a four bolt pattern on the crank/chainring so is not backwards compatible to the 7900 series). The 9000 series also became 11 speed.
