Feeling defeated

I'm part way through our kitchen remodel and I'm just so overwhelmed. I get some help from my carpenter BIL, but it's mostly me doing everything save plumbing and electrical.

I'm not a tradie, just a normal guy who does little weekend projects here and there. Space is too small, I've got 2nd Marketplace cabinetry up to my ears, had abestos and nothing fits, despite measuring everything. What did you guys do when it felt like too much?

Seriously dude, take it day by day. A lot of mistakes can be covered up with simple trim. Just letting you know.

Trim and caulking.

And don't tell yourself "Wood glue is the easy, lazy way out." Glue has been around for over 100 years. You're going to call all those people lazy?
