We have spent 4 months dreaming about a trash pull. We have been looking at Rev-a-pull systems and youtube videos for weeks. I finally found a system on ebay and "bought it now" ... 3 days later it arrived!
Our before system was a trash can on the side of the peninsula. It worked but our dreams are now coming true. We can now stealthily slide our trash and recycling out of sight.
To begin we needed to make some adjustments to the stock cabinet we installed. First thing to do was to remove the door. Then cut out the shelf.
And so dear husband used a "doit" saw to get rid of it!
Then after decoding the intricate directions for the pull our system David dove in. First to install is the stationary piece. It was very important to get this piece perfectly center in the cabinet.
Then to connect the wire rack to the sliding bars. And with a little finagling we dropped the trash cans into the system.
Now for the door pull...the best part of all. First David measured to put the metal attachments on at just the right spot. He hooked the metal attachments onto the slide system and then attached an anthropology knob. (JOY!)
We added the trash bags and we had a final product ready to use!
Total time: 1 hour
Total Cost: $115
Total happiness: priceless
The hardest part was remembering where the trash was. The following week I habitually looked around confused when I was throwing something away. I am very much used to it by now.
