I had no idea what I was going to show for Carmi's 'chaotic' theme until chaos intervened.

| Bob's Hope Sinks |
..the dummy drawer under the sink came away in my hand as the brackets holding it in place sheared off. I should have opened the next draw on the left which held the cutlery. To add insult to injury the dummy draw front was too heavy to hold by the knob; it fell to the floor with a crash clouting me on the knee as its way down.
My wife rushed into the kitchen, thinking that the crash she had heard was me collapsing - it had to be she said as there had not been a single curse.
Now I'm the world's worst handy man but I do have a hoard of things in a large container in our garden shed. Chaos reigned when it was emptied out to allow me to search for replacement brackets and screws.

Pick the brackets out of a chaotic pile of screws.
Twenty-four hours later the dummy draw front is back in place - sans brackets, sans screws. Thanks to the local hardware shop I've learnt a new trick.
Should this happen to you just stick it back in place with,, of all things,, strips of Velcro.
Job done!

Typical isn't it. Glad you got it fixed so easily.

I would never had thought of velcro. I hope it continues to hold.
Nothing as chaotic as a pile of screws, and it seems physically impossible to get one out of the pile without being scratched at least once. Great pictures.
Hi Bob .. using velcro! Well that's better than glue I guess, which is what I thought they'd suggested.
Interesting thought about repairing things ..
Glad no more damage was done to your legs, feet or the sink I suppose!
Cheers Hilary
I would never have thought of Velcro either! But I'm handy with the superglue when the front of a (genuine) drawer comes adrift! Great shots and a great story!
Velcro!
So next time, no muss no fuss. I like it.

If I was home, I could have taken a photo of the mess of screws and nails! Great photos and the chaos of a false kitchen drawer falling apart is priceless, especially the solution!
Oh no!! Haha, this such a great theme idea :)

Love the pictures, Bob! I especially like the one of all the screws.
I think your titles made the shots even better - nothing better than a witty caption :)
You work magic with words, photos and, now, velcro. I loved being on this journey with you, Bob. I hope everything continues to hold together for you on the home front, but I admit I won't complain if you have any more adventures in the kitchen. As always, you'll make it into a great blog entry!
I suspect you'll enjoy the frozen theme this week, too!
:)
