Hello to all. I have spent the last couple of months finding myself falling back on this site for advice, photos, projects, and just general info. After my last “oops”, I figured it was time to “get in the game”.
I am currenlty finishing an 8’ wide by 7’ tall bookcase in my soon-to-be guest bedroom in order to make way for a new baby. I’ll post photos soon, but I will warn you: they aren’t much to look at.
My next woodoworking project is going to be a closet remodel for the new addition to my family. My wife wants “cubbies” in the closet, so I am currently designing. I’ll keep you posted. Shouldn’t be too difficult b/c its going to be painted and that alone covers a lot of mistakes.
After my closet remodel, my wife wants wainscoting in the new nursery. Pretty straing forward, but this project is still down the road a little.
Until next time…

Hello again Derrek. Your wife sounds a lot like mine in that I have often said she feels it is her mission in life to find things to keep me busy. :)
