I guess you can call this a sob or a whine...
My stereo arrived today. I had built the cabined based on the size of a cabinet I bought from somewhere a long time ago. Unfortunately I put the face frame on it and left a 1/2" lip on either side. This reduced my width by 1". The stereo would not fit into the opening. The cabinet is about 18" wide, the steteo 17.5" wide, the face fame opening is 17" wide :(
So I ripped the stupid face frame off the cabinet. Damnit! I'll have to make a new face frame thats flush with the cabinet inside walls. But at least this time I'll nail it to the cabinet _before_ I stain it so I can hide the nails (that was ugly).
On the bright side the cabinet is 18" wide :) First times can really suck.
