Yesterday I went to the "city" to pick up some materials to finish the cabinet job I've been working on. Church council met the night before and said we needed to get a little carpet scrap and a couple light fixtures for the secretary in the basement. I said, "Heck I'm going over anyway, I'll pick up what we need." So I go over and pick out a nice remnant the right size and throw it in the pickup, it fits in the bed with the tonneu cover on, then run down to Menards to get my stuff. They don't have this piece of trim I need, so I load up what I bought a sheet of plywood (now the tailgate is down but the cover still on) and decide to try Home Depot. I go in and find out they don't have the trim either. So I decided to try the third lumberyard and go there to find out nobody has the trim I need. So I drive home (25 miles). Once home I throw a couple burritos in the microwave and think to myself, "Self, take the plywood out to the shop while the food is heating up." So I go out and find the carpet is GONE. I think, "How could I have lost it? No freaking way did it 'fall' out." Sometime while I was at HD someone decided I didn't need it as badly as they did. So I jump back in the pickup and drive back to the "city" and select another remnant and pay for this one myself. This morning I've been working on cabinet bids for a 4-plex project a guy is doing, 4 kitchens, all exactly the same....makes the figuring much easier. And the other is our kitchen. We are going to start it next month. Sitting here waiting on bids of materials to come back so I can finish those up. |
