So our carpenter flaked out on us

I had big dreams for our wood room. We wanted a murphy bed for guests, a desk for my Hubby and a desk for me and lots of shelves for our every growing library of books. I was thinking of something like this.

I thought a bit more about the lay out.

 Finally I came to the conclusion that I would rather have the bed on the North facing wall.

When were were there, this past summer, the carpenter said he would make it for us. But somehow we  kept landing on the back burner. He kept mentioning that for the past couple of years his wife wanted a murphy bed for their office too and that if he built us one, he would have to make one for his wife too. I guess that's why he changed his mind on making ours.

It seems that all carpenters in the area are too busy to respond, so I've decided to tackle this myself. I'll make it bit by bit. I will finally buy the Kreg jig I've always wanted. I even found a plan for the murphy bed I want to make here. They also have a a bunch of other plans to make my drawings into reality.

Wish me luck, I'm on to a new hobby!

Aloha a Hui Hou!

No place is safe

Man, just had a strange dream. In my dream I was standing together with a group of people and there was an uncomfortable silence. Then one of them started talking about building something with a Kreg jig - mid sentence, out of the blue they start talking about the cool things you could do with it, how much stronger things you build are when you use a Kreg Jig.

Then a few of them start joining in, reciting the same thing as if it was a song. They were smiling, showing thumbs up, bumping thumbs. Even I was joining it. Everyone was sooo happy!

I wake up and the TV is on and guess what commercial is on TV? You got it the Kreg Jig! Kinda gave me the willies, that a commercial can sneak it's way into my dreams.

All dreams aside, I had looked into the Kreg jig before because I wanted build some furniture and make new doors and drawers for the Kitchen. Maybe even new doors and drawers for the closet in the green  bedroom (that will be the grey/white bedroom when I'm done with it).

Will have to look into it again after we move. No sense in ordering it now and schlepping it from Hawaii to Idaho.
