gluing, screwing, sanding, drilling, cutting, sandblasting, sewing, stapling and staining

I called Home Depot on Tuesday to check the status of our floor order and was told that it wouldn't be available for pick up until December 19th. Again. Even after we changed our original order so that it would be in sooner. Payton and I went in the next morning to pick out the prettiest of the in store laminate options. After going through the process of trying to cancel or existing order turns out our cork had come in that morning and it was all a big misunderstanding. Immense relief. Maria and I spent Wednesday and Thursday working on the pillows, making the pattern for the lighting, and testing ways to route out spaces for the acrylic while Payton worked out the code and tested the sensors.

Saturday found us finishing our edging and doing lots and lots of sanding. Unfortunately, the only hours the woodshop is open on the weekends is 9 to 1230 on Saturday morning and it closed before we had a chance to route out our holes with the laminate trimmer (which by the way is not allowed to be checked out. We couldnt wait until monday to get the holes cut, so I think Maria ended up buying or renting a laminate trimmer from somewhere (!!!). Tonight we will be burning the midnight oil wiring and soldering and preparing for the epoxy pour tomorrow afternooooooon. A little bit of gluing, screwing, sewing, stapling and staining and we should be finished. Lots of work yet to go, but we are almost there!
