Congrats Chuck. Sorry to all my Pats friends.

Our pre-Super Bowl activity this morning was fairly minimal. With my cold I didn’t feel like doing too much so we picked a couple simple projects that did not require much thought.

We continued putting the trim on the refrigerator cabinet. It was the first cabinet I built. If I built it again now I’m sure I would do it much differently and it probably wouldn’t require any trim, but as it is currently just exposed 2″ x 2″ posts it needs something on it. We have four 1/4″ baltic birch pieces to cover the edges.

Can’t get clamps behind the cabinet all the way around so we had to resort to creative bracing. When we do the bottom trim and the left trim it will be all bracing and no clamps so hopefully it works!

The other project we started was to put the drawer facings on the galley cabinet drawers. If we don’t put anything on them the drawer slides show on the sides.

We are just using a mix of glue and brad nails to hold on a 1/4″ facing. Any brad nails we put in the face will eventually be covered by zebrawood trim.

Construction glue, a few brad nails, and lots of clamps.

After these small projects it was time to sit in front of the TV for a few hours. I’m sorry to all my friends in New England who will go to bed unhappy, though their well-deserved sports arrogance will surely kick in soon and they will be fine. On the other hand, I’m very happy for Chuck. I hope he will be safe because he doesn’t live in Philly now so there isn’t much chance he will die when the Eagles fans burn Philly to the ground tonight!
