Enclosures

After delivering those tables and breathing in and out for a day or two (with much guilt given I hate to take nights off) I had to move on. 

I dedicated this week to putting in a bid or two on a job for a bench and making a sign that was ordered a month ago. Luckily she was VERY understanding about my schedule. August is always my busiest month for travel, prepping stuff and life's twists and turns.

I was able to get the sign done with a very cute result. It is curing right now and will be in the mail first thing Monday (first thing being lunch time at work).

With the sign finally done, I was able to do some housework (shocking right?). The kids had WAY too many clothes in their dressers that were too small for them. So we made a HUGE pile to give to goodwill, we cleaned the playroom and got the house vacuumed. I didn't get the garage cleaned out, but hey, you can't win them all!

Tonight after a movie with the kids and their bedtime routines, I headed out to finish what I could on the enclosure. Thankfully my husband had read online how to cut plexi-glass with a jigsaw instead of the score and bend thing ( I did that before and always managed to break it in the wrong place). With my jigsaw I was able to finish up the enclosure pieces. I took a picture right before the sun was all the way down, and then I installed the last piece of plexi-glass on the left side after dark so I didn't get a picture of that. I am mostly happy with how it came out. I wish the screws were countersunk just a hair more, but I think I will end up putting trim over the edges just to give it a more finished look. 

I really like the trim piece at the bottom. It makes it match the top of the tower more. You really have to dig the light I pulled out there and set on the ladder as a make-shift spotlight so I can work just a tiny bit past sunset. :-) 

Tomorrow I have that order for a bench to begin and another work week to dread beginning.
