Ugh! I'm still working on the day bed! But, there is progress. Last night I added the 3rd and final coat of polyurethane to the face frames and drawer fronts. Tonight I can give them a final swipe of a clean cloth and call it done. Then I just need to get it out of the garage. Ah, but, therein lies a problem. The designer has someone staying in the room this daybed is going in, so it can't be installed yet! I really do need the room in the garage so I think I'm going to have to ask her if I can deliver it anyway. I'm hoping she has room on her patio where it can be safely stored until she's ready to have it installed.
This one was slooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww! I'm glad it's complete. I'll post pictures once it's in place!
Since I've been building things I'm often asked about my projects. This is the place you'll be able to see just what's keeping me so busy!

Home Depot, again!
I remember asking Don why in the world he had to spend so much time at Home Depot. Sometimes he was there several times a day, for goodness sake! Well, darned if I don't find myself heading off to Home Depot often, sometimes several times a day, too!! I now believe that it's some kind of mystical phenomenon that occurs when you use tools on a regular basis.
For some reason known only to the powers that be at Home Depot, they are no longer planning to carry the Pure Bond birch plywood that I like to use. My Glendora store has been out of it for over 4 weeks, but some of the stores still have a few sheets. So, Saturday morning bright and early, there I was at the Covina Home Depot. By the way, I hate to try to find things in the different Home Depots - they are similarly laid out, but just different enough to make you crazy!
