He is impressive.
There have been many projects taking place around the Thompson household in preparation for Baby T. I will share the outcomes of many of those in the next few weeks. But for now, I will share Baby Project #159- Building a shelving unit.
I was having a hard time finding a white piece of shelving/cubby/storage/side table/bench like furniture that would fit just so under the window in Baby T's room and still allow the air duct to let out air and still allow space for the swivel, rocking recliner. I shared my concern with the Hubster. I explained when I found something with the right amount of depth, then it was too tall. When I found the right height, then it stuck out too far. His simple answer? "Why don't I just make it?"
He sketched out what I was describing, we double checked the dimensions and off to Home Depot we went. I should clarify that I prefer Lowe's... but Hubster thinks Home Depot is closer. (It kind of helped that Cracker Barrel is in near proximity of Home Depot, since he had agreed to breakfast for dinner that night! I had forgotten how good their pancakes are!)
At Home Depot.....we carefully selected the right wood.
Random people in the store looked at me like I shouldn't even be walking. Sometimes I forget I am so big, until someone looks at me funny, or does one of those sympathy smiles.And then when I look down I am reminded just how big I am these days.
The following day the Hubster came home from work with the almost finished project.
It took him 30 minutes to put it together. Again, he is impressive.
All it needed was some coats of white paint. I insisted that I should do that. So 3 days later... it was complete.
I love it! However, I love the Hubster even more.
Remember, Jesus was a card carrying carpenter...being good at sawing and nailing is a sure way through the Pearly Gates. Nice work.
