I woke up at 8 and got out of bed shortly after. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. Then it was take out the garbage and recycling. After that I went out to the apartment. John and Melissa are going to be here soon, so I have to get the kitchen done.
I started out by sanding the live edge pieces. I measured out where the vertical piece has to go and marked it. Then I went out to the garbage and retrieved some of the scrap I'd thrown away. I cut it and used it to shim the vertical edge of the bead board. Then it was time to cut the vertical trim to length and nail it. It worked well. Then I cut the top trim for the right hand wall and nailed it up. I had some trouble with the picture frame cut, but it finally worked out well.
That all took about 2 hours. I measured and marked the live edge pieces, but didn't feel like doing any more work. So cutting them will be the first order of business tomorrow.
I went back to the house and fixed a sandwich. Then I checked Cabela's to see if they had gotten a P365 in. They hadn't. However, the website said I could order online and have one shipped there. The process was a lot of work. I had to enter 6 gift card numbers. Then I had to create a website account in order to be able to use my points. I finally managed to purchase it. The cost will be $0 and I'll still have over $100 in points left. I suspect I could have done this weeks ago, but the guy at Cabela's just said they weren't getting anymore.
After that I surfed for awhile and then we went out. I stopped at the post office, but they are closed today because president Bush died (so what?). Then we stopped at the home store to get replacement Christmas lights and tree scents. They didn't have either. Neither did Target. We finally got the scents at Home Depot, I've given up on the lights. We bought rum at the wine store across the street and stopped at HEB on the way home.
Ellen fixed turkey and dumplings for dinner. After dinner it was movies.
