A short daily for homeowners in the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario: one renovation question answered, new rebates and benefits with their deadlines, product recalls and weather alerts that matter at home.
01
Question of the Day
How long does it take to assemble flat-pack cabinets?
Once you have the rhythm, a wall cabinet takes about 10 minutes and a base about 15; your first one or two take longer while you learn the steps, and corner, pantry and drawer cabinets take a little more. Assemble them all before install day so nothing slows the fitting.
