Re: So, how long has it been, since you've...

A couple of weeks ago in the late evening we heard what sounded like a crash in the kitchen but we had no idea what caused the sound we heard.
While putting some clean dishes away, we opened the cabinet door and then we saw what made the sound. One of the plastic shelf support pegs on the midde shelf had broken and the whole shelf had fallen onto the shelf of dishes below it. Miraculously, nothing broke.

Since I'm the "Mr. Fix-it" in our house, I had to figure out how to get the broken peg out of the hole (there were others that had broken off over the years, too). But more importantly, I had no idea if I had any spare pegs to replace the broken ones. I took a chance and checked my kitchen junk drawer and I found two pegs! I had this house built in 1994 so the peg has been in the drawer since then. I was able to pull out the broken pegs, insert new ones, adjust the shelves and restack my dishes. All is well.
