I have wanted a brad nailer for several years; in fact, back when I crawled on my hands and knees for weeks drilling pilot holes and hammering finishing nails into the baseboards in my whole house!!!
I had to pull the bookcases out from the wall to fill in the baseboard behind them, too.
I still have 3 major ones to attack but one is off the list and this tool is a life-saver! This is a souvenir of the grand-dog's visit.
I will save it for another day--I am not going to ruin the piece by trying to remove it from the wall--I am going to use wood putty!
(I still have to crawl around on my knees, though! UGH!)
When I was totally undone from walking back and forth to the chop saw in the garage and into the house over and over again, I sought comfort by piecing the batik blocks into a sweet little rail fence quilt top! I even spent some time at the frame and the last QOV is more than half done, too!
Today I am headed to a new Rheumatologist's appointment;
Mary will go with me and we will do our usual shopping and lunch also. I don't know why, but I am feeling nervous about this appt!
Just take a deep breath and pray on the exhale...
Hooray for a new tool that simplifies projects! Hope your appt goes well; glad Mary is going with you to make the day an adventure. :) -Marsel
ReplyDeleteI hated doing all that tedious nailing when we redid the floors. We’ve got one of those gadgets but Pup is so terrified of the sound of it we could never use it. When we were desperate I would take her out in the car and turn the radio on. To this day if we are out and we pass a construction site with that sound she will freak out and run away. There are two houses under construction on the boardwalk so it’s been interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Bad grand-doggy!! Hope the wood putty does the trick.
ReplyDeleteGoing to a new doctor is always nerve wracking. Hopefully, he is the perfect fit. I'm going to a new endocrinologist in July. Even though I "know him", the change is still a little unsettling.
Good luck with your appointment! Hope all goes well. I love the quilt top! It is looking great!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed! It would have been a lot of work but well worth the result! Love your quilt too :) xx
ReplyDeletePraying does help!! Nice new tool and I can see how it can save time and tears! The quilt top looks amazing. We can't be upset with granddogs, but s/he sure did a job on that corner. I think wood putty will fix it fine. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really nice new toy. I know Dennis has often wanted one but never bought one. Now that we're in the condo we really don't need one.
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking the new quilt. I hope the new doctor was able to give you some good advice and opinions.
Blessings,
Betsy
I am not sure why I don't receive your posts regularly, or maybe they just get scrolled down before I get to them, but I am trying to play catch up this morning! What a wonderful tool you got! And I am amazed that you can get down on your knees and do all of that and get back up again! Good for you! I already read your more current post that you liked the doctor, so that is good news!! I pray that will be a good place for you and that he will be able to really help you! The quilt is beautiful!!!! You are a very talented lady!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up with your new tools! LOL. But even I would find one of those handy to use for making craft frames to use for needlework and stuff. Love the new project!!!
ReplyDeleteGetting a new tool is always fun! I am not looking forward to doing ALLLL the baseboards in this house
