Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your input!

Kenster,

Gotta love them parlor tricks....they look neat, but some how one still feels like a sucker afterwards! Thanks for calling a spade a spade (and then for helping me to understand why its a spade!)


LKDog,

Thanks, I took your plight to heart and glued a 1/2" piece of plywood to the very bottom of my cabinet which I'll veneer over....this should limit 1) the cracking/chipping of the MDF as I move it around tilt/slide/etc... and 2) if I ever end up w/a slightly damp floor it may discourage or hopefully slow down the potential (if not inevitable) swelling.


Stuck,

Thanks, interesting analogy. What you say makes sense....seems sound (pun intended) and I won't sweat it. Thanks for the input.


Regards to all,

Doug
