First, please excuse the fact that I am not at all knowledgeable about carpentry!
I have a strange cabinet problem. The entire cabinet is one large piece, which consists of a centrally-located sink. Just about *everything* about this cabinet is for under the sink! It's all wasted space, with false cabinet doors on each side of the sink. The only exceptions are a spot where the dishwasher stands (on the left), and a small, narrow set of drawers on the right-hand side.
The problem is that the cabinet drawers keep falling out! The top drawer fell out about six months ago, track and all. After placing everything in the drawer underneath (leaving a gaping hole where the old drawer used to be), it worked fine for a while, but then that drawer almost ended up falling on my foot. Same symptoms. I've had to wedge the drawer in at an angle to keep it from falling out, and have to use it that way.
The problem is that since the unit is only ONE piece (and there is a pipe for the water that runs behind this set of drawers), it would cost way too much to replace right now, as the ENTIRE thing must be replaced! Is there any way of perhaps temporarily pulling out the remaining drawers and cabinet facade and putting a smaller self-contained unit under the countertop? I know I can buy custom-made cabinets, but again, cost is the biggest factor. If I could reuse the same drawers and have someone help me make a small cabinet or "holder" for them that would fit under the existing countertop, perhaps that would hold off having to replace the entire unit.
Thanks for any ideas!
