Today was much more productive than expected, although not in the expected way. My plan was to drop off stuff at Goodwill, go to the hardware store and pick up some supplies to make shelves in my studio and clean up the mess in there and in my new sewing area. I also needed to pick up waxing supplies and a bird feeder. What happened was this...
I made my dropoff, went to the hardware store, got distracted by massive amounts of cool stuff and ideas, picked up the wrong kind of wood for the shelves, picked up too many brackets and the wrong kind of screws, spent too much money and then promptly forgot to get the waxing strips in my rush to get home and start on the shelves.
Once I got started on the shelves I realized I had the wrong screws and said "No Way am I going back out right now" and decided that there HAD to be the right kind of screws somewhere in the tangled mess of hardware in the basement. 4 hours later all of my tools were neatly arranged, screws, nails, plumbing joints, finials and drawer pulls were separated and organized, and half the basement looked tidier. I did find the right screws. Upstairs I went with the right screws, installed the brackets I did have, and mounted the one correct shelf I did have. Now I just need two more planks of wood, 6 more brackets, 12 more screws and more time. Oh yeah, I'm still hairy like a wolf.
To Do Tomorrow:
Return oak plank for 2 pines
Return useless brackets for correct ones
Buy more 3/16 -3/4 drywall screws
Buy waxing strips
Install shelves
Tidy up studio
Not wax
