Big old corner cabinet delivered from my grandmother's estate yesterday. To get it into the spot I want it I need to knock out a worthless decorative soffit.
It'll be nice to have a spot for the china though.

now that's a thought.. Like a half size one. though, I would probably have to take down part of my fence to put it in place.
yeah, i have a bunch of locks on them now and they are covered, but also I'd like to keep them cleaner.

Dude, that container is probably 5k. For used ones(real shipping container, that one has a bunch of shit aluminum) there is a bottom - you can't hardly get one for less than $1500. There is no $800 semi-shit container because they are controlled like(by?) a cartel. That said, they are sturdy AF, have thought about getting one for here but momma says hell no. *I've had 55-60 of those on my property, but they weren't mine.Buy 16 ft.

I'm chill, just saying it isn't real cost-effective. Not saying yer a turd for suggesting it, most people have never seriously priced the whole thing out. I have. My daughter bf also buys/sells those and yeah, we talked about that biz at Xmas 2020.

Update on _actual_ grandma furniture:
Our china now has an actual home.
We're actually 3rd generation for that china, and only the deep serving bowl is damaged.

you could probably hire a hobo with a shotgun to camp out by the bike every night for like 5 bucks a week
I think I had to work harder, coming from much further back, to reach my "station" than that other guy . . . . So yeah, I'm gonna dial in the $ tight AF. Easy to talk pissing away money when someone else is earning it.
Now, this guy knows how to save a buck. So tight he squeaks if you don't lube him.
I wonder if that cabinet was a Sears kit build(which ain't bad). Back when I was about 10 my mom brought one home and my oldest brother and I put it together. Dad was so pissed - cheap ba-stard. *My step-daughter displays her pottery for sale on it now.

I dunno, it's been in my grandma's house since before I was born.
There's no maker's mark on it or anything, but there's a receipt (lady kept every receipt, even the ones from the hospital for delivering her kids) that says it came from an antique shop back in the mid 1970s.

Not gonna lie, from a woodworker's perspective, the thing's hot garbage.
It's a pine carcass (which I guess is better than plywood) that's pinned together so loosely that if it's not firmly in the corner, it racks with a vengeance. It's all butt joints except for the doors (which I have to give credit for, are floating panels in tongue in groove frames), IDK what the fascia is, in terms of species of wood, but it's neither the mahogany nor the walnut that it is stained to look like.
What it does have though is price (grandma's estate paid to ship the thing to me, along with a couple other things) and sentimental value.

I got the one I helped build when my dad passed in 2001 and had to totally reglue and nail. Sentimental value is just as real as a spectator's joy at their team winning. Hope it is pleasing to you for many years. I like it!

I like it as well, it goes well with our "stained to look like expensive wood" table and chairs, and it works in the corner I'd budgeted for it.
If I ever have to pull it back out, I'll probably re-work the carcass a bit.
I wish that I could have gotten some of my dad's furniture when he passed. He had two similar corner cabinets collecting dust in his basement. Was in his family for a couple of generations. My former step mother played all nice after the funeral asking me if I wanted any of the furniture as she was going to sell the house and didn't need anything for her florida condo or jersey beach house. Then once the will was read she cut me off and took everything. Technically she has every right according to the will but it was still a dick move.
