Well today’s project was to turn a shelf into a paper holding shelf for Margaret’s scrap booking stuff. I never realized the cost of simple materials for a simple project. I went to Home Depot and purchased 3 maple boards that were of good size and some screws. I managed to get 9 14″x13″ boards and 9 11″x9″ boards. All I was left was with 6″ of scrap overall. Anyway, for the small amount of supplies I purchased it still came out over 60 bucks.
I started working on the shelf around 10 this morning and didn’t finish till 4:50 this evening. It kinda sucks trying to make sure stuff is level when you really don’t have the proper tools. I pretty much had my trust Dewalt cordless drill, 2 levels, a mallet, my drill bits, and a saw. You might be asking what the saw was for? Basically it was the only straight thing I had so I could draw lines. The end result was a happy wife. I’m dog assed tired though. I don’t think I want to do that again unless I have the proper tools on hand and maybe more experience. It really shouldn’t take anyone 6 hours to put shelves in an already made shelf.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
You did a wonderful job on the shelf baby! I love it!!!
