I’m enjoying a day off between bouts of re-purposing the shelving units from Borders. Final push is tomorrow, and then my part will be finished.

First post of a new millennium (of posts) – yeah, no pressure.
At the Store, the bookcases are going in with a minimum of fuss and bother. There was a mis-measurement or mis-communication about the measurements (I didn’t measure, I’m just installing this time) so there was a slight mix up about the shorter wall – we ended up moving the cases after putting some slatwall back up, and then taking back down. No problems, though – all in a day’s work. Today I start on the upper cases. They all need to be cut down, and one section over the doorway between the two walls will require some fancy rework. The driving factor for the rework is the library ladder that was included in the bookcase purchase. The Education Room is really starting to look a lot more library-ish – most of the existing bookcases are being re-purposed and replacing slatwall shelving. It’s going to look pretty good in there once it’s finished. The whole project should be completed by end of day Saturday, God willing.
Have a good Thursday – remember to wear Red tomorrow.

Remember last fall, this post specifically, when I told you about the motor on the table saw going south? Well, it seems there has been an early spring. I hooked it up and tried it one more time before having to buy a new one (simple math: rewind=$250, new one=$268) and it worked. Yes, it came back to life.
No, I have no idea how or why. But I do like the fact that our bank account is not lighter by 268 units.
Now – valance for F&S, toy box for a little man, cabinets for a railroad club, handgrips for a friend, display case for work – yeah, I’ll be busy for a while. I promise pictures when I can.
edit, 1/19/11: forgot about a bedroom wall unit for a friend, too. the memory, she ain’t what she used to be!

I happen to have a few minutes, so I figured I would let you know I am still sucking air. Haven’t had a lot of spare minutes, so as always the blogging goes away first.
I had been cutting spline for a wood contract – that finished with a whimper. It’s all cut, and ready to go, but the delivery date got moved – again. I had finished the spline, and was slicing up the last board I was using to put some extra pieces in the order (I’m cool like that) when the motor on my table saw retired. Great timing. Anyone with a spare 1 1/2 horsepower electric motor they won’t need, let me know.
The office manager has been on vacation this past weekend, so most of the pre-BlackFriday preparations are being done by the owner and myself. The preparations consist of Kate telling us what needs done, and then me supervising and facilitating the process. Since this is my first job in retail, and consequently my first Christmas in retail, I’m learning a lot of things very quickly.
Gotta run – time to get going, since I need to stop by the warehouse on the way to the store – which is not a new thing, but this time of year we start siphoning off all the merchandise we have been storing up all year, so I pull up at the warehouse empty and leave loaded, a reverse from the rest of the year.

Old baseboard out, new flooring in, ready for new baseboard. Pretty productive for a Sunday evening, eh?
