Wait!  Where's the pictures?  They're supposed to be right here!  I swear, you can't find decent help these days...

Whew!

Man, I’m glad that’s out of my system!

I owe an apology to Gawfer for cutting our chat short last night on Facebook – but, when the system says run, you better.

Boss Lady has a cool project in the works – as many of you are painfully aware, Borders is shutting many stores. The one nearby Kidstop is one of them, and they are at the point where their fixtures are on sale. Boss Lady and her business partner wrangled a deal for a string of bookcases and a library ladder for the Education Room – so yours truly will be taking out and repurposing the existing shelving on two walls, and then installing the Borders units. It’s gonne look real nice – be sure to come in and see it when it’s finished!

What – you thought I would stay home yesterday with so much to do? Nope – made it to court, made it to work, then got sent home when I kept turning green and having to sit down. Nice nap yesterday afternoon, though.

Chat ya later…

Long Dry Spell

October 14th, 2010 . by Cary

My apologies to my somewhat faithful readers – I’ve been juggling, and as usual the blog falls first.

I’ve been cutting spline:

Pardon the fuzzy focus – the camera on the phone works well as long you don’t want to see detail. Yet another reason to ditch the Neurotic and go back to the Gravity 2.

I’ve also been working on outlines for about thirteen books of the Bible to be presented at the retreat at the end of the month. If I get enough interest, I will share them (and the others from the retreat) once I get back from the retreat.

It’s getting late again – once again running out of time int he day. I thought maybe once I became employed, I wouldn’t be as busy as I was when I was unemployed – that didn’t work out.

Chat ya later…

Closet has new baseboards, and now it’s time to move furniture around.

Closet Flooring

Old baseboard out, new flooring in, ready for new baseboard. Pretty productive for a Sunday evening, eh?

You can click on the picture to embiggify it.

“Closet” “Job”

September 1st, 2010 . by Cary

This morning I took a few minutes and yanked up the carpet strip in the closet. Pictures are kinda indistinct, since there’s only so much room in the closet to take a picture.

You can, however, see how careful the builders were in floor prep – removing all the paint and what not before applying the carpet pad glue. That will entail some scraping with the Big Nasty before I lay any flooring. The next step was to remove the carpet strip itself, along with the nails that had been used while the concrete was still green enough to accept them without spalling the slab. Of course, now that it’s fully cured (ten years later) when the nails are pulled out some of them pulled up nice chunks with them, and I will have to use leveling compound in those spots.

Tomorrow morning before the world awakes I will be taking out the old baseboard, and probably starting on scraping the floor.
