This is Sunday....again. Seems like just 7 days ago it was Sunday.....dang!!!
Well, I decided yesterday would be a day of pleasure, if'n it were at all possible. I went into the garage an' start sweep'n. My god, I got a pile of saw dust almost up to my knees. Well, maybe not quite that much, but enough to fill two 5 gallon buckets. An' chunks of wood....dang, a whole trash can full. I could have me a bon-fire with all that scrap wood.
I decided to work on a project. Take that old, bout 8 years, Walmart special cabinet an' do a number on it. Add honest to goodness oak trim on it to kind of sorta look like the new cabinet I builded.
Here's what it used to look like. See, that's it sit'n there on the left before I installed the new tabletop an' the new cabinet.
Now if'n ya take a close look at this pic, you may notice a bit of a change. I'm think'n to the better.
Some sand'n yet required an' then slap me 3 coats of polyurethane on that sucker. Reinstall an' I be done with another of many little projects.
Ya see, it was like this, I was tired of sit'n on my ass all day long do'n nuttin. I needed some move around, exercise, git my blood to flow.....stuff like that. Although at one point, I had to hang up the wood work'n tools an' call it a day....go inside an' sit down.....an' do nuttin. I was hurt'n.
But this morn'n, after a possible good sleep....I don't know if'n I did or not, I got up in much less pain for a change (bout a easy 3 1/2 or 4). I can handle that. Ya throw a 8 or a 9 on me, I'm gonna be one grouchy old bastard nobody wants to talk to. That's just the way it is, ain't no other way to say it.
Ok, I got to go look for where I put all my "cheap" paint brushes. I got work to do. Photos when completed.

I am sure Sundays roll around faster than they did when we were young! It's good to have a project or something to take your mind off things you shouldn't be worrying about. Look forward to the pictures. You do good work, Billy Bob!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I need, a project. Hummm... well. I've got a new outside light fixture to put on the front of the workshop that will help light the patio. I will have to go down and buy a couple of special light bulbs and an electrical box or two. Should have everything else.
ReplyDeleteSome projects sounds like work. As yours does. Buy when ya stand back an' admire your work, you can say....."I did that".
DeleteA ton of my remain'n "projects" also contain the word "work. Grrrrrrrrr....
Yep, work is a nasty four letter word.
ReplyDeleteThe "work" looks real good. Can't wait to seethe finished product.
ReplyDeleteCabinet looks awesome. And work at your own pace is the way to do it.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if this will post or not, using my Netbook and Blogger does not recognize me even though I have tried to log in at least a hundred times :(
ReplyDeleteYou do good work. When you come to Del Rio will you teach me how to make a little table for Walter?
