Steven assigned himself a task for the day — assembling the Ikea cabinet boxes for the master closet. Four Pax cabinets. About 100 parts each cabinet — counting nails, screws, fittings and panels. Many steps, repeated four times — therapy, working alone in a quiet house, following and memorizing the pictorial instructions for two hours.
When Jacquela arrived about 5 pm, Jacquela and Steven slid the cabinet boxes around on the felt pads that Steven added to the base of each cabinet to protect the wood floors — testing different configurations and locations. We hit on this for Steven’s side of the closet — one cabinet in each corner of the north wall, with 65.75 inches between for rails to hang clothes.On the longer south wall, Jacquela opts for 57 inches between the two boxes. This creates a pocket behind the cabinet at right to hang clothing that will be worn less frequently.
