swschrad's Journal: nice, lazy week

I earned it, and I've taken it ;) seriously, have to wait for another router base. seems excess wood dust gets between the plunge base and the router head, and it slips out of alignment. had a casting fault in it anyway, so ordered up a fixed base from parts and when it comes in a day or so, will send the plunge base back under warranty.

had a lot of back-shred cutting the coves in the kitchen door rails, and laid in more lumber to mill to cover that shrinkage.

meanwhile, we have been planning painting in the upstairs bedrooms and the hallway, and will seek colors saturday. carpet goes in the week after easter in the bedrooms, we already ripped it out in the hall and put in wood, ran the same floor we used in the kitchen.

will put in the tip-out drawers under the sink tonight. www.rockler.com has lots of neat stuff.

we're also planning the finishing of the 7 new 6-panel interior oak doors... either in the basement or in the garage, which would require cleaning up all the wood dust first. we'd like to get the doors in before spring and gardening season, so it's another tight schedule.
