Day FiftyThree: Cake for breakfast, all is good, well maybe not all but breakfast was. Today's mission, think about all other unfinished missions and pick one to complete. (Spoiler Alert: this doesn't even get accomplished today) So Tie-dye shirts made it high on the list and build shelves for the kitchen cupboards also made the list, started the day out optimistically. Tie-dye shirts , well Heather orchestrated the colour management systems and material preparation, the shirts were divided between the mankind in the house and got creatively bundled and wrapped in elastic bands (see photo below). Heather passed out the dye and stepped out of the splash zone. Lot's of squirting took place and the coloured shits got stuck in bags until tomorrow. Number 1 project not finished, not our fault, just a timing issue, they will get rinsed out tomorrow and cleaned again before use. Lunch, Adults: Pizza (not Lawson's favorite), the Boy: made himself some pierogies. The basement, argh... the machine to make the shelves is under an epic pile of crap... ok lets go as far as possible before needing that... The wood I have is wide enough to make a shelve, my table saw will make it almost through the slab, cutting half way on one side and turning it over and cutting half way through the other... now the 1 inch in the middle, that's were the shit show starts... now my hand saws are in a largish bag that normally hangs on the wall over there... currently not over there... did it fall off? Is there another epic pile of crap against that wall? (the answer to question 1: no, question 2: yes)... so I dug out that pile to no avail. However the 1st epic pile I mention might contain the saws as well and unlike the pile I just dug through, that pile does have a tool I need at the bottom of it (no, not the saws), the planer, which turned out to have a broken dust collector, not a big deal right, what's a little dust? Well let me tell you, with a planer you are not really collecting dust as much as turning big slabs of wood into wood chips... and it takes about 2 minutes to fill a garbage bag... so when the dust collector isn't hooked up to the shop-vac it just blows all over the room... ask me how I know. So the saws were not there either. maybe the wall with the shelves, seems I piled more stuff in front of them, ARGH... and no, they were not there either but I did manage to move all the piles around the room into a general mess all over the room. I did find a broken miter saw there, bent the blade a little more on an angle and got through the pieces of shelve after almost cutting through the table of my table saw with it... I wondered why it stopped cutting. I ran the smaller slabs through the planer... yes there are wood chips all over my piles of crap now. It's going to take me a week to dig out down there again... next time remind me to go buy a piece of wood that will almost fit because in theory it's possible to just make that... spending the $5 would have saved my 40 hours of work by the time I finish cleaning up. So on the way up for dinner I found my bag of saws at the bottom of the stairs in a pile of tools heading to the basement. I think I mentioned this before: ARGH! CrackSlaw, I like crackslaw... and for dessert, Jello with whipped cream, Mmm. Only 12 carbs so far today... going to have to have a second or third dessert to make the numbers proper for the day, ROTFLMAO... maybe more cake. Played a little Minecraft with Lawson to round out the day, shelves will be put off until tomorrow.
