Today I started crunching numbers in preparation for doing taxes. ( boring boring boring )
I really meant to get some carpentry done today. Installed the lifting mechanism for the crawl-space trap door. I knew there was some sort of little handle-type object that would lie flush with the surface. Home Depot had no idea what I was talking about, but Orchard Supply had it right there with the rest of the knobs and handles and hinges and whatnot. It required some creative drilling, chiseling, and routing to get it to sit flush before installing the screws, but I'm very happy with the result. But the "bridge" that fits over the trap door to lift the bookcases up on that section is still unsawn lumber in the back yard. I finished shelf-checking the books moved downstairs so far and am finding that about 5-10% of them aren't in the database yet, so it's going slower than expected. Still, it's the ideal time to do the check and get everything logged in.
