I am so far behind schedule that I’ll be lucky to finish the dishwasher cabinet this weekend, much less anything else. When I reveal the cause of today’s delay, all will be explained. Let’s just say that it has been one of those really good renovation days and that trim is a wonderful thing. I’m such a tease. 😀

Merikay asked about ‘the workshop’ and what tools I carry with me.

One of Croft‘s offers for this winter was his workshop and all its contents. It’s a small shed with a big window for good light that has a workbench. It’s a good place to spread out a small project so that I can walk all the way around it. He has all sorts of power tools and I’ve made use of the ones I don’t own or that are were too large to carry with me and sold when I hit the road, such as an angle grinder, a miter saw, and a table saw. I’ve been helping myself to the scrap pile and to screws and nails when I don’t have the necessary size in my own tool kit.

Otherwise, I have been using my own tools, just because I am most familiar with them. I took my full workshop on the road with me, except for my miter saw. I have saw horses, a jigsaw, a couple of drills, a square, a level, clamps and vices, wrenches and pliers, screwdrivers, a hammer, all sorts of hardware (screws, nails, hooks, nuts, bolts, etc.), and just about anything else one could need for basic home renovation projects. Everything but the saw horses fit in a big Rubbermaid tote in the basement. I also have smaller totes with painting and plumbing supplies. This would be a good time to note that when I was calculating what I could bring with me vs. carrying capacity I got all this stuff on the scale. 🙂

Lunch break’s over, time to go finish one side of the dishwasher cabinet!
