Minding my own business, getting dinner prepped, Jakob and Kadence playing on the floor behind me, I hear this snap. Then the kids go quiet. As I turn around to find out what just happened they are both staring at me with wide eyes.
Jakob immediately points his finger and says "de rie id roke i."
Translation: kadence marie did broke it. To give you an idea of how he says it you just have to say only parts of the word. So instead of saying the beginning and ending of kadence, just say the middle. Then the end of marie, id is the end of did, the end of broke, then the beginning of it. Simple huh? Well, I am fluent in Jakob and sometime it is a bit difficult to get what he is getting at.
I look over next to them to find that the cabinet door has been pulled out of it's hinge. Now my cabinets aren't made the best and we do have plans to remodel our kitchen, just not yet.
The one thing you have to remember: The people who built our house did it themselves. Cutting corners was their motto. There are no custom kitchen cabinets in this house, that is for sure. (I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they are particle board or some sort of the mix.) Mike Holmes would have a heart attack if he ever came to inspect our house, I would bet this house that he has never seen one like it. (Although maybe I shouldn't. There are always worse than yours.)
This isn't the first door to come off, I have two others that came to an early death. Not because of Jakob, but because of poor build. One just couldn't hang on anymore and the other came to blows with a circular saw that I have no recollection of.
Amazingly enough though this does not populate a place in the unfinished projects list. Rick came home and rehung it. How? I don't know. Will it get pulled out again? Probably. But if it can just hang on for another 5 years, it will find a nice home in a very warm place.
