two more measurements and one more cut and it fits. I unscrewed one side and ran it through the table saw.

I operate in the method of measure twice cut twice, maybe 3 times.. it’s about 3/4 “ too wide.

Obviously the only solution is to cut the extra 3/4" out of the middle, then use ratchet straps to hold the two sides together.

I think you meant zip ties.

This is salvageable.

Seems to be off by the thickness of the sides, I wonder how that happened :)

Looks savable, though. Just an annoying issue to have.

A little sawzology should make it work.

Clearly, the cabinet was built too narrow for your needs. Time to break out the sawzall.

Measure six times, cut seven, I always say.

I just assumed i had more than enough room in the opening. the walls are 1" off the sides of the tras h barrel. I never thought to check the opening. it is pretty close to being off by the thinness of the sides though. I think thats just a coincidence

sometimes i feel that no matter how many times i measure, the cut will always be wrong.

Better than "I cut it twice and it's still too short."
