Slats

I did the most labor-intensive part of the bed today, sanding and then painting the slats. I haven’t cut the slats to size yet so I’ve got 6, 8-foot slats that I did final sanding on and 1 coat of paint. It gave my thumbs a good workout. I’ve got to glue the caps (the top piece) on the head and footboard and let that set before I cut the slats to size and put them in. So it’s iffy that I will get that all done tomorrow.

We did our normal Target run today—they haven’t had any good deals for more than a month now. It’s taking the fun out of our visits. I don’t know if it is the economy or just the normal dry period for Target bargains.

The netbook we got for Christy arrived today and appears to be in good working order. We still try to balance our spending on the “kids”. Karen is getting furniture Christy is getting the computer and probably a little more.

Tomorrow is Waffle House.
