Total price over $7500, straight corner, door plus two shorter panels (door is on 5' side and attached to wall). Classic L-shaped installation. Invoice doesn't even specify door size, so I suspect it is standard 28", but I will ask. Hate quotes without decent breakdowns, so I'm unhappy already. I don't think DH is up for DIYing this. It's part of a whole house remodel and addition, so we're overwhelmed with projects and need to get this bath done. How much do clips cost? Also, we have hard water and calacatta tile in the shower, so both low iron and good coating are a must, even though I know they are adding some to the cost. Still, 1/2" Starphire for fish tanks sells for $15 a square!

You are all so dynamic with your ideas and generosity in assisting me. Thanks to everyone. I am feeling much better than in my original post. In all of my other projects there have been hiccups which turn out to be brilliant in the end. I don't doubt that this will be one. I cherish your outside opinions to shed light on the ideal solution. There are definitely challenges. The kitchen is small, basically 2 parallel walls (10 linear ft/per) with a 3ft. "jog" at the far end for the gas range and built in conv./ micro. **igloochic- great insight in an almost identical scenario. The funny thing ( ) the corner can has been my only "good" cabinet, until of course we has this "minor" misunderstanding. **kitchenredo- I am forbade to use either a chain or table saw after my "accident"- believe me it truly did cross my mind. You king 'kidding' was an uncanny way to remind me of my great fortune. THANK YOU! Btw, Love LV- huge fan for years. ***fori- Oh my, I couldn't stop laughing. The "other side " is an exterior wall (w/ new cedar lap siding). The idea of cutting an access hole, I just LOVE! In jest, or not, for some it would be an ideal solution. FOR ME, I imagined my own personal 'Green Acres' with the closet door that opened directly to the 'farm-fresh air'. I so needed a laugh and imagery of Arnold Ziffle, Mr. Haney, Ralph and Alph on the other side of my kitchen door. Laughter is remarkable medicine. **rob_p. Thanks for the link (I'm still trying to post the link 4 my layout- not sure exactly how). I have printed it 2 discuss with my cabinet guy tomorrow with any other realistic options. I'm definitely up for anything that will work. REV-a-shelf apparently has a distribution headquartered here in Louisville. I may also. Check into their options. If it would work it would be a super quick solution. Your empathy and guidance are treasured . Thank you once again. When I figure out how to post my layout I would like to hear other specific constructive opinions. -September

Melissa, I haven't been in GardenWeb in a very long time - and even then, I'm usually a lurker in the Garden forums. We are starting our remodel on our kitchen, master bath and bedroom, so I wanted to see if there were any ideas out there that I could steal because it feels so overwhelming right now, trying to make the right decisions. Anyway, I wanted to tell you how much I love your step-back cabinet (I've never heard that term and I'm going to research it). It looks like it is a wonderful addition to all of the other great design ideas you've created. I love your style.

Maybe it needs a middle hinge? Not an option. Tempered glass can't be drilled or cut. What gives is gravity. After 3 years of use, it is possible that the hinges have worn and developed some play. The only things that I can see/ think of is to remove a hinge and see how much slop there is between the holes in the glass and the screws/ posts that go thru the glass. And possibly the hinges may have developed slop due to use, time, gravity. Perhaps a combo of rubber grommets to reduce screw hole slop and new hinges might fix the problem for a couple/ three more years. One other thing--possibly the screws are loosening up just a bit and allowing the door to slip. Because of being part of a moving part as well as being repeatedly loosened & tightened trying to readjust the door. If that is the case, then try some Loctite (thread locker).
