cabinet hinge repairs

OK a dog pulled a cabinet door out by the hinges. The top hinges came off totally leaving two big holes on the cabinet side wall. The bottom came off half way and when I tried to get it off it broke off with that green insert stuck inside.

First, what is the best way to remove that stuck green insert? use a small hole saw to drill it out?

Once I have them out I guess I will fill the holes with two part structural epoxy and attach new hinges to the epoxy?

They make a special screw extractor that is basically like a small reverse hole saw.

I would recommend PC11 2 part epoxy. PC11 is white. Paint wood hardener on/in the holes first. When you apply the epoxy, be sure you smear it around the hole enough to coat the particle board. And try to avoid air pockets when you fill the void by poking it in and out with a toothpick or similar before you smooth it off.

Interior window apron?

R

rufunky on Apr 15, 2019

I read the most common way to make an apron is to flip a piece of casing upside down, cut to the exact width of the outside of both side casings, cut at a 45 and then cut a small 45 as a return. I'm a bit confused about the return part.. Is the return supposed to lay flush with the upside down casing or is it supposed to be cut in a manner where it lifts the casing off the wall?? I hope that made sense. I have attached pictures. [attach]103770[/attach] [attach]103771[/attach]

Basement Stairs - replacing treads with oak treads

W

worker1234 on Apr 19, 2019

Hi, Currently, we have an unfinished basement with your average basement staircase (treads are from 2x12 wood?). In any case, we are starting to look into changing these to be a nice finished staircase with oak treads, white risers and a nice handrail/balusters/etc. The oak treads are thick but not as thick as the existing treads. What is the best way to accomplish this? Remove the existing treads and put a thinner underlayment on each stair with the oak tread such the that height of each is maintained, or ?? Thanks!
