An average Sunday

So what to do on a nice Sunday in August.  I was looking at the table that I needed to finish, and figured heck it would only take about an hour, let's do it.  So I loaded the girls up and went to the local lumber yard and picked up a couple of 4x4's that I could use as legs.  I get them home and measure them up, cut them and after I assemble them I noticed that I wanted to add a little support.

No problem, I have some scrap 1x1 I will measure them up, use an 'L' bracket, all set.  Heck, I can put a little shelf in it and it would look cute.  So I carefully cut my lumber, and find three pieces of slats to use as a shelf.  I sand them down, make them look real good.  After I put the support on I then realized that I had cut the shelf to short..oh well guess a shelf wont be put in.  Of course I forgot to cut a support for the other side, so now I had to measure that side, cut and sand the support for it.  Now I get my brackets ( DO NOT buy Stanley 'L' brackets)  These things are made in China, and of course the damn holes that were punched in the bracket were to big for the screws.  Now I have to spend 10 minutes looking for screws that I can use.  After finding it, I go to put the screw in, and of course I drop it...better find it before the dog steps on it.  So I am searching everywhere for the screw.  After 20 minutes I figure I will find it when I clean up.  So now I am using the damn China made bracket, hooking the legs together, the dogs are playing tag all around me.  I drop the drill gun.  After picking it up and I start to put the screw in the little dog grabs some sandpaper and feels that it is time to play chase.

I get the sandpaper, the legs are secured I get cleaned up from the job (which now has taken 3 hours) and I still can not find the damn screw.  Oh well, at least the table is together.  You know, looking at it, it does need stained, that should only take about an hour.....
