I have a penchant for creating wildly intricate Excel (lately Access) databases to "simplify" my budgeting processes.
Not unlike the car in A New Leaf (one of the funniest movies ever), which needs to be taken in for a service every time it is driven, I tend to re-make my entire spreadsheet every time I have to do a budget. Rather than let it just let it produce the numbers as it has been designed to do, I re-design it.
Crazy Re-Do Guy.
I mention this because, on almost every single step of this project, I have done something, then had to re-do it. Or re-done it by choice.
So goes the sideboard stringers.
I mentioned it was raining this week, and I found that the stringers that I had simply screwed into the sideboards managed to warp and pull up from the underlying wood.
#$%#^&@*$.
So, today I . . (say it with me) RE-DID them.
This time, I glued the entire length with Titebond III wood glue.
Why did I not glue them the first time?
Because I'm a freakin' moron, okay? Are you happy now?
I'm very pleased with the work today. Despite having done almost every step twice, I feel like I'm making progress.
Tomorrow is a rich, full day of baseball. But Sunday is set aside for boat-building.
This I declare: ON SUNDAY I WILL HAVE A BOAT-SHAPED HUNK OF PLYWOOD.
For reals.
