Nice... Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 37 degrees with a low chance for snow.
I think I might just spend some time in the garage building and sanding down some pantry shelving tomorrow. 
Not as warm as I'd like it to be for the job, but if I keep waiting for 40 degree days I'm going to be without a usable pantry for a long time.
Hopefully I don't have to do too much power sanding. I'm willing to do hand sanding in the basement, but I have no desire to be kicking all of that dust around power sanding while the furnace is sucking it all up and blowing it everywhere else.

Hey all - I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up. I figured I was going to be busy, but I'm far far busier than I imagined!
I hope everyone is well!

Very true. What I figured happened was instead of the $5 and a couple of coins going into my pant's pocket, I must have dropped it on the floor and didn't notice.
Oh, well. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Try not to let it bother you too much.
I did that one time and I was still thinking about it a year later.
I obsess over money too much.

Nah, just one of those things. They happen. I'll forget about it probably by tomorrow.

Out for my walk in a bit and here's hoping for a better day than yesterday.

It felt like somebody left the heat on today. 37 degrees.
I got 3 shelves for the pantry cut to size, sanded and "broke"... That means rounding the edges to give it a nicer look and not having hard edges to paint around.
Since it's plywood, I was too afraid to try giving it an edge with the router, but I think it's going to look great. I'm going to primer them, then I'm going to hit any of the knots with wood putty, sand it down, prime those spots, then give it a few coats of paint. I have at least enough white contact paper left after doing the curio cabinet to get the three shelves done.
I'm going to wait on the bottom two shelves until I figure out which drawer slides I'm going to buy so I know exactly what width they need to be.
I robbed Menards again with the rebates today. Not nearly as nice a haul as the last one on paper because the 4 air filters for my furnace still cost $5 each after the $2 rebate, but they were also on sale and normally are $12.99 each. Not including those, the rest of the stuff was $52, but after the rebate they'd have been $15. None of the stuff this time was free, and they weren't paying me to take the antibacterial wipes off their hands like they did the other day.
In total, with the last two rebate heavy trips there, the upfront costs were roughly $258 but will only cost me $58 when the rebate comes in, and that's including the $20 for the 4 filters.
Got a lot of great new tools and materials out of the deal, and a lot more stuff to give away once the rebate clears.

My area is 10 degrees warmer than were you are SIX. It hit 46F where I am today under cloudy skies but at least it was dry.
Much better day today.
Bought some egg replacer today to use if I want to make pancakes and got some vacuuming done when I got home.
