Today I worked remotely for BETA,.. after that Diane and I worked around the house.

Gabe had two household issues we worked on. The first was a broken drawer… It was their silverware drawer and like many it was made out of stabled particle board.. (which should be outlawed). The sides had broken and there was no gluing them back together.. Fixing that took a bunch of corner bracing, glue and a makshift clamp made out of ratchet straps.. All good now.

The second problem was that the above stove microwave no longer worked. Buying a new microwave is easy.. getting it to fit in cabinetry above the microve.. not so easy. We had bought the microwave the day before,,. we ended up takign the only one in the store..

TOday we disassembled the parts of the cabinetry that needed to come down to allow the new device to be mounted. We were installing the ew device when DIane’s foot slipped on to a shelf (that we’d made in June of 2019). and it gave way.. Diane hit her face on the cabinet as she caught herself and got a small cut and bruise.. she was OK .. but the sheetrock wasn’t. The shelf took some big chunks of sheetrock with it.

We finished installing the stove then headed back to Home Depot to get a thin birch plywood panel to put beneath the shelf when we remoutnid it.. The panel hid the sheetrock damage.. and looked nice to boot !.No one even noticed it.. but we came clean.

Gabe and I christened the new microwave by heating up a piece of left-over burrito and sharing it !

Alls well that ends well !

Then Blutos greek for dinner.. yum !

nite all, nite sam
