This might be the most disastrous build I’ve done so far. I worked on this kit after work every night until almost dawn and it was also the first thing I checked every time I woke up. That’s how hooked I was!
As you can see, I completely messed up the floor. I installed some pieces on the wrong side, so I couldn’t place the correct flooring anymore. I just left it plain.
The yellow hanging cabinet was supposed to just snap into place, but since I built the framework wrong, the holes didn’t line up. I ended up cutting the back part and gluing it instead just to make it work.
I definitely learned a lot from this build and also learned that building while half-awake is not a good idea.
It still looks great though I understand your frustration. I did many mistakes too when I’m forcing myself to build things to midnight. I installed many things on the wrong places too.
And yet, you can’t tell that you made these mistakes! It looks great. And the plain floor is great too.
I think we are often very hard on ourselves but the end result looks fantastic.
Kabayan, I feel your pain! Building until dawn is basically an invitation for the “glitch in the matrix” where floors end up on ceilings. Honestly, the "plain floor just looks like a minimalist renovation! Very modern! And that hanging cabinet? That’s not a mistake, that’s “custom engineering”. You’re not a mess-up, you’re an architect who makes their own rules!
