Day 95 Autumn leaves

3rd November 2017
This morning we moved completely different things from one place to the other. I had oiled my biceps to move the big beast, instead only several smaller pieces were chosen, Hurray!

It was a wonderful autumnal day with the sun shining on the avenues of maple trees, this meant that I could work outside. I began by loosely assembling the “Fifteen bucks project” for the first time. Dimensionally it was good, so I need to make something to disguise the join. 


I also started the semi-detached dresser repair.

The returned bookcase has now been completed,and ready for painting.

The “creative studio” has now been moved inside the house, as it is a bit too cold for her to work in the garage, this is just for me and a couple of penguins.
Something that has been bugging me for a while is the number of glue sticks I have been using. It is the only reason I have coffee in Starbucks is to grab the stirring sticks.

I start a job, glue something up, turn around and do something else, then go to use the adhesive again, and, no glue stick. Sometimes I find it on the floor covered in crap, but other times it’s easier to use another stick.

However the adhesive was difficult to pour, I thought I was running out of the stuff, and made a mental note to buy some tomorrow. As I was probing the dregs in the bottle, I noticed about six glue sticks inside, that’s where they go!
