The remaining wall crumbled on the sides. What is the best way to repair the space between the remaining drywall and the cabinet?

Need some ideas on how to fix the doors in my very small hallway. My bedroom has two bi-fold doors in the entrance. Right across from that (in a very narrow hallway) are another pair of bi-fold doors on a linen closet. And at the end of the hall is a small closet with 2 panel doors that hit both sets of bi-folds when open. I need to replace all of them because they're old, but also wanted some idea on how to fix this traffic jam! Hope my very lame drawing below helps you understand how the hallway looks. Any ideas on what type of doors I can use to make this space more useable and keep all of these doors from colliding? None of the doorways are suitable for pocket doors.

hallway <
------VV-

W=bi-fold doors (top is to bedroom, bottom is to linen closet, both open out to the hallway)
< = doors to small closet (opens out to the hallway...actually hits the other doors when open)

Color paint for kitchen? Counters greyish blue (speckled) laminate and the floors are greyish/white vinyl. Cabinets are golden wood. The color scheme consists of dark blue and olive green. Any suggestions? I'm between peach, rich red, pale blue, and medium/sage green. The cabinet fixtures are chrome and appliances are white. There is a lot of natural sunlight and it is a fairly big kitchen. It is off our living room which is going to be a deep brownish (with red/orange undertones).

I've sprayed my lawn with mosquito killer and it didn't phase them. My little girl loves to play outside and I spray her and myself with deep woods off and we still get hammered. I don't know what else to do. There is no standing or stagnant water near by. Anyone have any ideas. I've heard the citrosa plants and lemon grass don't really help. I hate making her stay inside but I don't want her getting bit so much. Please help. Thanks.

I think it had like if you drop it pick it up, if you use it put it away. I remember the last line was if it cries Love It.

I was using this Power Washer to wash my deck, when it suddenly stopped working and then I figured that there was no more power supply coming from that outlet.

Not coincedentally, later I realised that the power supply is not available from 3 other wall outlets too.
