I spent most of my day watching football. This was the first Sunday I’ve actually watched back to back games. While I did not pick a single game or either over/under correctly, I’m happy for my NE friends their Patriots are going (again) to the Super Bowl, and for my one Philly friend (because no one needs more than one Philly friend), I’m happy his Eagles get a chance at redemption for Super Bowl XXXIX.
While I lounged, Sara worked on window quilts. She finished up parts of the front windshield cover and the driver and passenger door windows. At some point she realized that sewing with magnets is not so easy as there are a lot of metal parts on the sewing machine, including the needle, so the magnets like to randomly stick places they shouldn’t stick. Nevertheless, she persisted and finished the shades.
After dinner we wanted to get a little more work done so we set to installing the drawers in the galley cabinet. A few days ago Sara put the pieces of the slides on the drawers so we needed to install the other half of the slides in the cabinet. Assuming everything was measured correctly when we built it, the slides should be reasonably straightforward. We mathed a bunch to make sure our guide lines were correct to ensure the right spacing between the drawers. It worked! All the drawers seem to be in the right spots and they slide smoothly. The final step for the drawers will be to put 1/4″ facing on each drawer to cover the gaps and figure out drawer pulls. At some point we are also going to put some fancy trim on the facing, but that is not a high priority right now.
