The adventures of Granny Flow's Deck

i don't know why but it happens every time i try to do a project for friends or reliticks. its a simple project, a 10x12 deck off of the kitchen door, about 2ft off the ground. first of all was the screws, i know i should update myself but square drives are a pain, then the material was short and the additional stuff ordered was the wrong type. to make a long whining session short, a simple project that should have taken a weekend has drug out for 3 weeks and if i get it done before its covered in snow....

oh well i feel better now

Quickey....


i scored a couple of free hours last night, knocked together the drawer fronts for the fireplace pedestal.. going to stain them up tonight. i built a version of this miter sled, this one looks better than mine. if you are interested you can get the plans from Wood Magazine. the link to the site is HERE
very handy this is..... my corner miters even look good now...

October is....

...Crunch time to get everything buttoned up for the "great white winter". lets see, the STD list for this month includes..... build a 10x10 deck for the mother-in-law, bring home two more loads of firewood (dam, gunna be a cold one), clean chimney! and whatever repairs and projects i can squeeze in around the homework. I have a couple of non-wood projects to finish up as soon as possible, and i keep forgetting my camera to take pictures of the stuff ive done... and i supose the trees are going to drop leaves like they usualy do bout this time of year, someone is going to have to clean that up....
