DH is out of town and I had grand plans of getting a lot accomplished while he is gone, but that hasn't been the case. I've spent two days building a coffee table base for our clawfoot antique table. I had planned for this to take me a couple of hours, not a couple of days! I carefully removed the original base (storing that in the basement) and built a new lower base. I attempted this yesterday but used too short of nails and it didn't hold together. Zoe (our cat) jumped up on the table and the whole thing fell apart.
Take 2... today I got the proper nails, and that along with some gorilla glue it appears we are good to go. Still need to do some final work (setting a few nail heads and staining) but it's useable now. As a matter of fact, I'm using it now for as a foot stool. I'm going to wait until next weekend to finish it. I want to make sure it stays together. Oh good, Zoe just jumped on it and it's still together. That's a good sign!
Was supposed to go to the doctor today for yearly screening and get some work work done but neither of those occurred afterall (sorry Tammy!). Rescheduled both. Tomorrow Chad and I are taking time out to go the Movies. Not sure what we are going to see but we will have fun. Love snuggling in the movie theatre with those I love and a bucket of popcorn. Alex is not joining us, he is going paintballing tomorrow with his friends. Afterwards some picking up of the house (namely cleaning up my mess from my latest projects) and then picking up DH and his father from the airport tomorrow evening. The time has flown by and can't say I got any rest but that's ok. I'm happy with our table!
