Put up a cabinet for Pam’s scrapbook room today. Used some screw-in anchors, along with my fancy new level. Only required one trip to the hardware store, which is quite unusual.<\/p>\n
While there, I got a quart of paint that matches the generic off-white walls around here. I went into the hall closet, and used a razor blade and chisel to gouge out a large square of the painted wallboard surface. I just cut deep enough to get the paint and the underlying paper covering of the wallboard. Put the sample in a baggie, and the paint guys at the local Lowe’s did their color-matching trick.<\/p>\n
I then covered up the thin gouge with some repair stuff (it goes on pink, and dries to white). I’ll paint it later.<\/p>\n
That whole project didn’t take long. I spent the rest of the day working on a new web site, and generally goofing around the ‘net.<\/p>\n
The weather dweebs have been warning about a big storm tonight; wind and rain and snow. So far, not too impressive. But the weather dweebs are sure excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
