moar sticks

Also, a boy. The nice thing about going to Home Despot with somebody else is that they can push the cat stroller while I push the big lumber cart. Or the other way round, depending.
The boy is SO patient, although he’s also REALLY doesn’t get why I keep buying more sticks.

‘But these are just like the other sticks!’
(They’re actually the sticks I painted in the last post. Sue me, there’s a lot going on just now.)
Rowan helped haul the 2x12s, which is why I let him take this picture.

I also bought more construction adhesive than I’m likely to use up in the entire rest of my life until I do this again, & accidentally a plant. Both of which fell off the cart in the middle of the parking lot. sending both of us scurrying after rolling tubes of caulk.
(It’s construction adhesive, not caulk, but I can’t stop with the caulk jokes.)
This cartload of sticks is from YET ANOTHER trip, because I’m going to be going to Home Despot at least weekly for the rest of my life, apparently. I gave in & got the plywood cut there this time, because my arms are short & they’ve got a panel saw.

I want a panel saw. ALL THE TOOLS
Anyway, here is A Boy.

This was posted originally to my Patreon, a little over a week ago.
If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.

Date: 2019-10-05 08:35 pm (UTC)I KNOW how to use all that, I just don't have the space for it all. Well, I'm not up to speed on the sheet metal brake as I've never done much with that, but I'm good on everything else. Hell, I bought the drill press for him.

Date: 2019-10-05 08:53 pm (UTC)Well, I could definitely act as an able-bodied assistant. I couldn't design and do it from scratch. I don't have the design/implementation creativity to do things like that. I can sometimes envision things like that and dictate specs to my dad, but it takes better, more specialized, minds than mine to do the actual design/implementation work. I didn't even mention the variety of pneumatic tools!
