During a dinner conversation, she told me once I retire I will have time to really get serious and get going on projects I promised her.
So I thought to myself, I only got me a planer and jointer to work with hardwoods back in Nov of 08,(or somewhere about then) so about 2 years ago.
Then I looked at the list of what I built since then, the past 2 years.
2 dining room tables
12 chairs to go with those
2 buffet/server units
1 hall table
2 radiator covers, cut for 2 more, but people backed out
3 coffee tables
5 end tables
1 lingerie cabinet
1 queen sized bed
1 dresser
1 night stand
1 entertainment/tv unit
1 vanity
1 jewelry box with legs
6 or so decorative boxes(like a watch box, and small jewelry boxes)
24 or so cutting boards
At least 24 adirondack chairs the past 2 years, not all were hardwoods, most were pressure treated lumber
1 small closet unit
And during this period I re painted my entire downstairs of my home, put up all new molding, took down one wall and built a small handrail/post
And assited my son with his new home, put up moldings there, assisted with the bedroom floor, painting.
She thinks Ive been goofing off?
I had to run my business and deal with myasthenia and the home infusion stuff that ties me up every month.
This is why I love that woman.
