Weekend update

Friday-

Worked till 6:30pm. Got home, and met up with one of my wave kids from a couple of years ago. He was at church last Wednesday for the closing ceremony and he wanted to get together on Friday. So when I got home I called him and we went bowling. We rolled 4 games then came back to my house and hung out. It was good to catch up with him, since I hadn't seen him since before he graduated.

Saturday-

Back to work. I worked for the better part of the day, trying to get a custom job ready for Monday morning. We made an 8' Mahogany circle for a dining room, and there was a mistake so we had to correct it.
It was made in quarters and as you can see in the picture, one of the sections is missing. Well, that's what we had to fix. Somehow when we installed all the sections, that one ended up being short. I don't know how it happened.

After putting that section in our jig, I came home and vegged on the couch until it was time to go get our drink on at the P.L. VFW. Since the smoking ban, it's actually nice to go out to the bar. All of the other bars in Prior Lake are dives, and the VFW is no exception. However, the have the cheapest drink prices.

Sunday-

Slept in!! It felt great!! Didn't even get dressed till noon. Finally made it over to Mom and Dads to finish up on the cabinet doors. Then we rode along with Mom and Dad to deliver some picture frame molding that Dad ran for someone that he works with. Made a pit stop at Von Hanson's Meats and had ourselves a BBQ. Made our way back over to Mom and Dads to pick up the doors. Got home and installed them, and finished installing the crown molding. Hopefully tomorrow is an easy day, cause I could use a little break.

We installed 3 custom jobs last week. Not only is it physically exhausting but it's mentally exhausting as well. Here are the other two jobs that we did. This one is a custom header that the homeowner wanted. Rather than the usually straight angle he decided that he wanted a little bendy thing.



This one is a curved nosing. The total length on it was just under 33 feet. This is just an opening to the lower level of this house. The stare case is in a completely different spot.



I love doing this kind of work.

Progress

The kitchen is moving along swiftly now. Todd and Nick finished up and came over to install everything on Saturday. I have to say that they did a fantastic job. It really looks great. I couldn't be happier with it.

I spent most of the day Sunday putting on sanding sealer and polyurethane. I did some touch up tonight, and put on some of the crown molding. Mom offered up their garage to finish the doors, since mine is full of Jeep and old cabinets. I'll probably be bringing them over sometime this week. Todd will be coming over, probably tomorrow, to measure for the new counter top.

For fear of jinxing things. I'm NOT going to say that spring is finally hear. I'm NOT going to say that it was a really nice day out today. I'm also NOT going to say that it's supposed to be in the 60's this week and that it's aboot time. I will say that the job sites are a damn mess because of the melting snow and ice, and that I got stuck in the driveway of my job today. That was a treat.

Well, I've gone and babbled on about a bunch of crap that no one cares about. So, I'm off to bed.
