I got the bookshelves for the girl's room put together... the armoire in her room is relocating downstairs. There was only a slight incident of my genius idea to use my staple gun instead of the finishing nails, but the staple gun won't close. Then riding my carpentry skills, I decided to put up the shelf for her "glass collection" (insert eye roll). I was doing great, using a level for the holes and everything, even hitting a stud. I hung the shelf, and it wouldn't fit! I forgot to take into account the 5 inches of shelf on each side of the holes. I re-drilled, put in the plastic screw things, and put the screws in again. Guess what? The weight of the shelf is pulling the screws out! Someone else has got to fix that for me, as that shelf got a talking to and is in time out. And now the wall is kinda messed up.
And I stink. It is humid, and that building made me sweat more than I have been all day... I think it's time to go pout in the bathtub.
BTW I plugged in the battery charger, so pix of the remodels will get posted sometime.
