I played games in bed for quite awhile this morning. I think we got up about 9:30. We did pet stuff and breakfast and then went to the apartment. I went to work on completing the gun cart. Ellen did a little fine tuning on the trim for the bathroom. When she was ready I came in and nailed it up. I used four nails. Even at that the nailer we bought was worth it. It saved a whole lot of work.
I spent the whole day (until 5) working on the gun cart. That's because I decided to make the top part removable. That required me to make a new cross piece and cut a slot in the cart handle. When I cut the slot the arm almost broke in half. So I had to bolt three reinforcing strips on it. Then I had to notch two of the strips to fit the cross piece. The whole thing was a lot of Dremel work and took a lot of time.
When I got the cart done it was cleanup time. There was a lot of metal filings on the floor. Then I installed the sprayer on the aborted gun cart frame. Finally I hung a power strip on the wall to replace the extension cord I had laying on the floor. That cord has been a pain in my ass for quite awhile.
In the end the garage is ready for a new project. It's supposed to rain tomorrow. If it does I'll start to drill the second hole in the metal plate. Remember that project from 6 weeks ago?
Ellen actually fixed a dinner - fried ham, leftover noodles, and bagged salad. That's a lot better than frozen dinner.
The evening was watching Gold Rush. They have hours of it on Fridays.
