Optimistic...

Yeah, that's me!! I shoot for the stars, if I don't make it, whatever... Most people shoot for the tree tops and don't make it... Anyway, I THOUGHT I'd have this room done by now, but I don't... Of course it didn't help matters that my neighbor, who is opening a Sports Bar came over and dragged me over to the place because he wants me to build him a shelf to hold the liquor... Looks like a fun project, but wow! I'll do it for him though, because I happen to like them... :)

This is as far as I got... It's getting there, particularly if you take a look at the "before" pics from earlier... I'll have it done tomorrow... (I think!!) :)

Matthew said...

Along with doing about a gazillion other things as well...

Joshua Goodling said...

Good job!! Looks really nice.

Of course, it does help to have all the right tools and actually know what you're doing ;-).

Matthew said...

LOL, yeah, the right tools certainly make a world of difference... Having been remodeling our various homes for the past 12 years though, I have just about every tool imaginable... :)

Looks awesome Matt, Chance will have lots of room and shelves. How exciting! Remember this website for your science needs: http://www.carolina.com/

looks great! we don't have a lot of tools. we used to have quite a few, but that's a long story... lol

Matthew said...

LOL Petra... How long exactly? :)

I'll keep that site in mind Timberly, looks interesting...

I might add, the whole thing cost me $100 bucks, if that... Of course my time as well...

Matthew said...

Yes, I did finish it finally, now on to other projects...

Carolyn and Chance are going to organize it tomorrow, I'll take a few pics once they are finished...

School starts (homeschooling Chance) in a few days, so I better be ready... :)

We will be though...

Awesome. I love watching HGTV. And I always hope that some of those ideas would "take" with me... but sadly, they don't. But that is an amazing shelf for $100!! Nice job!!

Petra said...

Hey - if you are going house to house. I want a desk too!!! I need a big scrapbooking desk with lots of storage areas. Get right on that, okay? :)

Matthew said...

LOL Petra... Yeah, I'll be right over!! :)

Matthew said...

Of course if you lived close by, I actually would be... :)

Petra said...

well, if Andy gets this new job, we'll only be six hours away. That's not too far, is it? :)

Matthew said...

Well, it's still a bit of a haul, but better than the distance now of what?

2,678 mi – about 1 day 15 hours

Of course I guess they aren't taking into account things like, oh, sleep, refueling, eating, etc... :)
