Sometimes the board just fits.

I bought a house today on W30th St. for $20k and I hope to be able to sell it in the mid $50's.

I worked at Dewitt on triming around the doors and windows. Joe did well today because when I showed up I saw a new table saw sitting there all ready to go. He knew I needed one and had talked about getting one and picked one up for a good price at Harbor Freight this AM and then stopped by Lowes and got some other items that we needed. He never told me he was buying the saw with my $$, but we put it to good use today and it worked well and here I am glad that used initiative to help our project.

An amazing thing happened as I came out the house one of the many times today. I looked back at the door and realized that I had missed one piece of needed trim. Right then I looked down and saw a piece of scrap wood that was already painted white like it needed to be and figured it would make a good starting piece to cut up to make fit. I got my tape measure from my handy tool belt that Jo bought me and was ready to measure to cut when--the piece fit perfectly in all 3 diminsions that mattered. It was the perfect lenght, width, and thickness--perfect. I put my tape down and said "wow" and thanked the Lord for that amazing fit. It's just nice in a project with many missed cuts and mistakes to have a 1/1000 chance work out like this one did today. That's cool!!
