SWMBO took the little one to the ILs - I was told she wouldn't be back until all my jobs were done - pantry and cupboard for my Mum, window shelves in the bathroom, windows in the doors around the stereo (so we can use the remote and keep the doors locked), shoe rack for my bro, and a throne for the neighbours 40th birthday! Everything I touched went to guano at some stage - measured Mum's kitchen ONCE!! (you know the rules...out by 100mm in one measurement), routed part way through the aluminium hinge mechanism of the bathroom window (only a mil), broke one of the panes of glass for the stereo cupboard, rushed the shoe rack and had to make up for a poorly placed biscuit slot...actually the throne went really well - designed in a lunch time, 45% discount at the local timber yard (1st time I've been there but got chatting as you do...), no hiccups and my mate was lost for words (for a couple of seconds, then we couldn't shut him up, but it was his birthday)
The kitchen was fun, made up a rubbish draw with a storage area underneath. Bent some Rimu - I was going to steam it all, but then realised that I only wanted to bend 300mm so popped it on the frypan - worked a treat.
