Updated with the link to the Laurey PerfectMount guide.
In a previous post I mentioned that I like to read other home-improvement blogs. To be totally honest I have to admit that it’s about all that I read at this point (except for some photography blogs).
There are just too many good ideas out there. When I say “good ideas” I mean actual things that I can do or techniques I can employ to, like, not screw up and do things efficiently. I saw this one today on IKEAFANS:
A marked hole guide for making sure cabinet hardware placement is consistent.

What will they think of next?
I hate to admit that I’m a complete dope at times when I’m over at the house working, but after last week’s closet wall fiasco (more on that in a future post) I finally figured out — on my own — that having a template is a good way to ensure that things are spaced out correctly.
It’s actually sad that the rebuilding is almost done and I only now figured out how to do things the best way. I was about to get all rueful about how this knowledge will die because I sincerely doubt that we’ll take on a project of this scope…
And then I remembered we haven’t even started working on the back building…
