Clap excitedly fuckers. There is hope (read progress) on the Project That Never Ends. Its been a while since we posted (this is Jens by the way, I normally write under Becky's name because logging her out seems to be a lot of work), with life, holidays work and being on the road progress has been slow. However its been happening. I now have all of the doors done and hung. I will get into how and what later but for now feast your eyes.
These doors have been with out doubt the most cantankerously nit picky serious carpentry I have ever attempted. I hung the last door tonight, and I've had it made for a month. If I'm honest putting these things up is terrifying because when you mess them up (note not if, when) right back to the drawing board you go, all the set up has to be re done, all the calculations its all square one. To get these 6 finished doors I've made and scraped at least that many just trying to get it right. This has not been an easy process. However, it has allowed me to mess around in the garage and has made my living room look like this.
and not like this
I'm pretty happy thus far (keep your mouth shut about the mess, in the before no kids, the after, one very seriously happy playful, hence the toys, kid). Now I just need to install the drawers, fronts and shoe molding, and I'm freaking done. Glory Glory hallelujah we’re almost done, almost. Hopefully by the time the second kid is two, we can have this complete. Its little goals that get you through.
Now a picture of my dog, more than likely he is cooler than you.
Ok one more that doesn’t look like a sci fi creature.
G’night all, and to all a G’night.
