Little update

Well, I've been pretty busy lately. Work and side jobs and other activities. I recently did a floor for a co-worker of Mel's. It turned out really nice. They live in a "slab on grade" town home. So it was a floating floor. It was a character grade maple. I went over on a Saturday and removed all the base boards and tore out the carpet and pad, and was done by 10:30am. I would have started installing the floor but I had to be home in time to go to a wedding at 2:00pm. I went back on Sunday to finish the floor. I was finished installing and putting the base back on by about 12:30pm. It was, all in all, an "easy" job.

Duck season opens on October 4th. I'll be going up to my father in laws cabin for opener this year with, by brother in law, Brian. I'm pretty excited about that. I used some of the money that I got from the side job to buy a shot gun. Can't wait to use it. Todd and I went over to Al's and cleaned out is stock of Goose silhouettes. There were 250 decoys that he gave us. He also gave us a duck boat. It just needs a little work. If we can't fix it up we'll just scrap it, so no loss.

I am also in the processes of finishing up two canoe paddles for a silent auction. One of Mel's old co workers, works at a school in Shakopee. Each class got a theme for the auction. Their theme was "the outdoors." So they asked me to make some paddles. I was off work today so I spent the majority of the day working on them. I've almost got them finished. I'll post some pictures when they're done.

I finished trimming out our cabinets today as well. I had some weired gaps under the toe kicks from the old cabinets. When the house was built they installed the flooring after the cabinets were installed. When we replaced the cabinets the new toe kicks ended up being deeper than the old ones so they didn't cover the flooring like the old ones. I had to make the base shoe a little bigger so that it covered. It's nice to have that done.....finally.
