I could finally get on with the kitchen island. With the top safety in the storage room, I dragged out the main part of the door to work on.
I needed quarter rounds to trim the visible side of the door, so that went on the list. Next was checking for square, I had to reference the part that will rest on the floor. Unfortunately everything was out, not a lot but enough to kick out the side panels, so these were marked ready to cut.
Kelli had a dresser to paint, that was a great opportunity to go and get supplies, which I did.
While I was there I decided to buy the plywood for the floor, I love buying timber, and I was excited to get going.
The drive to Menards has become automatic, a dangerous effect, but so far I have not had any problems. There is alway so much house construction going on, land is becoming precious, anyone with a large garden is selling off part of it, but having to live with people so close, would get annoying. That is why the sellers move out, and by a property with more space. We both fear that when Larry finally pops his clogs they will be able to fit four houses on his land. Talking of Larry, he is still in hospital suffering from pneumonia, not a good condition to have with everything else he has going.
The temperature is finally cooling a bit, still shorts and t shirt for me, without the high humidity.
Kelli says that I have been a bit distant recently, I get like that when I have things on my mind, which I have at the moment. There’s the kitchen island where I’m thinking about how it will be fixed together, I’m also working though design ideas for the lounge furniture project, and I also must get round to cutting the grass at the front of the house, and get rid of the dead leaves that have dropped early. I’m sure as progress continues, my distraction will reduce, until the next set appears.
