The foam is expensive if DIY because the you can't really buy a massive 50-gallon drums that the contractor's can.

The ladder probably folds up like an attic ladder. Then, you stand on another ladder and tuck the folded ladder into the upper cabinet.

I've found that high quality spray paint from art supply shops makes it much easier to quickly and simply paint a garage sale find. Montana Gold is my favorite and, while double to triple the cost of Krylon or Rustoleum, the colors and easy results are worth it. I must admit -- I HATE prep work and sometimes just want instant gratification! :)

Elmer's Ceramic cement is a good contact cement for this purpose. It dries fast so you can hold two pieces together, wait ten minutes, then continue on to the next piece. I glued up two ginger jars that had been absolutely smashed. They aren't perfect, but, they are holding fast.
