I am glad that you can. My arthritis in my hands limits what I can build.
What did you do today?

The official end of the project is at hand. Got the extra hinges for the door on the electric panel. Will put on tonight. I have an entire sheet of 1/4 inch plywood Left. Going to crosscut it and put in the back of the garage shelves so I don’t push my tools through the insulation again.

Calling the project done. Yes I need doors for the closets but no hurry. I have a rug to put in room and a recliner. Make it look like something more than a basement

Be nice to have a workshop with a a separate painting/spraying room.
Must give a hats off to whoever designed the parts and how they interact. That's neat. Never seen anything like that.
I can spend hours making a part for something fit, but never had patience to do models.

Some of the gadgets are incredibly engineered. As many as 500 parts in one small device. Part engineering and part magic I think.
Probably only 497 if the box, wrapper, and postage sticker aren't included.
......I was diagnosed with a few cases of carpet tiles. 
I did an entry for one a few years ago and a dozen office rooms and halls, all with glue direct carpet.
My dad liked to build various types of models. Airplanes, cars, dinosaurs, etc.
Today I got up early, went & got a root canal for about 2 hours, went to samsclub to get water & other supplies. Found they had char siew bao (sweet barbecue pork steamed buns). Dentist's assistant gave me a container of creamy potato soup (I assume from some local business). It was good. It took awhile, but I no longer feel pain when I drink something cold. Good thing I went in when I did. If I had waited longer my tooth wouldn't have been salvageable. X-rays showed a 4th root but the dentist couldn't seem to find it-- well he found it and then lost it again & then couldn't get anything to go into it bc it seems it twisted/turned & probably had stuff in it so it couldn't be cleared. After over an hour he finally said it was going to do more harm than good if he kept going. I didn't mind. Everyone there was nice. I expected to feel some of the procedure (other than pressure) bc I always have in the past. They said "If you feel ANYthing, let us know!' I said "I just pinch my leg if it hurts" and she said "No! Tell us if there's any pain. We don't want you in pain at all!"
The dentist thanked me for being so still and patient when he was done. They now pretty much make a latex tarp that only exposes the tooth being worked on and keeps stuff from going down into the mouth so that was nice.
They told me my mouth was probably going to be very sore the next few days. It feels slightly swollen but it doesn't hurt.
I'm probably going to take a nap soon.

My brother works for an electrical contractors and worked in Lancaster General’s operating room installing lights. Had to wear surgical garb. Met a doctor in the elevator who asked how it went. He took out the impact drill and told him it was tough going but this baby handledit.
I'd love to have seen the look on his face. 
Wow Zan, glad it went well. Nothing compares to having no tooth pain.

Today I spent half an hour sanding 3/16 inch wooden disks that were the bearings for the winding mechanism. There are 10 on each side. Just 30 more to go...
Windows down in my pickup today an the temperature stayed around 106. I'm in the hospital and it's about mid 70's, so working conditions are fine. Hit 100+ or so 17 miles away at the hospital location, but only 83 at home.
Went to two stores and they had the refrigerated cases close and added plastic sheets over the coolers in the produce sections. Power kept going out and their generators were overheating.
I just can't wait to see the destruction of society if Kamala gets elected. I think she promised to put the fossil fuel business... out of business. We can't even keep the power running now.
Oregon so got a short heat wave going on right now with inland temperatures around 100 or more in some places, tapering off to mid 90s by Tuesday. We don't get above 80 very often on the coast.
