Pardon my French, but WTF

Do they have the day old bread store where you’re at? I suppose they’re called a Franz outlet store or something like that now. There was one at the end of Johnson Creek that I would go to and you could get the best deals on everything. Bread, danishes, muffins… pies, great prices, too.

I would take my old man to his Dr. appointments and the nurses would always freak out at his heart rate and BP. I would have to remind them that he’s old and just walked halfway across the damn hospital grounds to get here. Then he would get pissed off sitting in the waiting room having to wear a mask the whole time. Might be time to bring back house calls again.

Can't get accurate BP unless you have been sitting still 10-15 minutes and your arm is supported.

Our store closed several years ago.

Spent a few days making doors n drawer faces. They still need a little tweaking but they’re done so I can cross that part off the list. Now I get to prep and paint them.

Yup, I go there a lot. I was just surprised to see that new display at Freddy's (Kroger) with their higher, "low price" tag. Those pies are kept on the shelves, not on a display like that..... Shoulda said "new price"

Yeah, Franz Bakery Outlet.
....Day Old Bread Store has a bad ring to it.

Gotta tip my hat. I've never done cabinetry... Drawers, shelves, yeah, but not stuff like this.
What's the paint of choice on these?

The paint of choice is a semi gloss enamel. Swiss Coffee is the color. Nothing special. Not too damn bright but light enough to make the space feel a little bigger. The bathroom is a sprayed white epoxy from head to toe, minus the floor and faucets n shit. I got a good first coat on everything today. I’ll hit it with 400 and touch up anything that needs it before the second coat. Prolly need a 3rd coat since the first coat is a primer coat.

Building these trailers is a blast. Nothing is the same from day to day and trailer to trailer. Theres no pre made or pre drilled anything so you have to figure it out as you go and these trailers aren’t plumb, level, square anywhere

It’s a fun new challenge every day. Then you throw in some interesting selections from the customers and it’s on like a damn TV show. The trick is to slow down and take your time. Rushing will only screw things up and cost you more time in the long run.

I got into work a little early so I ran this thing through the planer to remove the epoxy top. I then sanded it up to 180 grit. There’s a few places that need a little filler but that’s it. I’ll do that in the morning then hit it with some natural.

I want you in a dam TV show because you have all the right stuff to pull it off

I’m not sure the world is ready for me yet.

Got in this morning and put a coat of natural on the creation that I’ve come to call ‘Amish TV’. Looks nice. I’ll start goobering it up in a couple days when the stain is fully dry. Don’t know who will get it yet but I’ll give it away for Christmas or something like that.

Back to the cabinets I’ve been working on. I sanded everything with 400 and put a little love where necessary before giving everything a second coat of paint. I cleaned and oiled my vice in the downtime. Then I checked all my cabinet doors n drawers over one more time before giving them a third coat. Then I made a pooper scooper in the next round of downtime I had

. It’s lunch now. I’ll check the cabinets themselves for anything before I empty my paint gun after I get back to it. I’ll wait until tomorrow to reinstall the doors n drawers. That’ll give the paint some time to cure before I start touching them n shit.
