Bob Vila? Not Me
The magic of television and experts, they all always seem to make everything easy like home improvement. Take for example Norm Abrams, he takes a peice of wood and creates something with it. If I took a piece of wood well I don’t know what would happen. This one time the boyfriend and I took this entertainment stand that was too big for our bedroom and we cut and measured and put it together and it was crooked. The bottom half was less wide than the top but it was sturdy.
Since Sunshine is getting older, I have all these plans about making her room beautiful. Things like ripping out the wall and replacing it with white paneling which then I will use a nice glossy paint finish. I figure I can more than likely do this myself right all it takes is a nail hammer and some nails and I should be set. I don’t know, I don’t see that working so well.
Maybe I should try something smaller like a book case. Of course nothing fancy like Norm Abrams but we have a lot of scrap wood. If I really took my time, I could use a circular saw and cut the wood in even peices then use a wood stainer. The only problem with that is I don’t think pappy will let me near a circular saw for fear I might cut off my fingers.
Oh well, so I don’t see a future in the home improvement business but it is sure nice to think about.
