AND A BIG HELLO TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE

Going to build a cabinet today for canned items, etc. I can't think of what it is called, lol, and I do know the name !!

My son is helping me of course.

A pantry, lol. That's what it is called. I am running out of space in the cabinets because of the pots and pans, etc.

I can build it myself, but want help with the measurements because I am putting louver doors on it and the measurements can't be off even a fraction of an inch.

Are you there Festina??? Going to be in the 80s today.
