Aaaaaaaaaaargh. The plan was to put up the built-in bookshelves today. We went super-simple with these -- wall standards & brackets, simple wood shelves.
The problem is I can't find any freaking wall studs to hang them on! Everywhere the stud finder says there should be a stud, I can't find one when I drill in. So I'm just ending up making tiny holes along my baseboard for no reason. (Very tiny, and they'll be behind the couch, but still. I want my shelves!)
Anyone want to come build my bookshelves for me? I'll make cookies...
Good luck tomorrow, ita!
I've done nothing of use so far today. Need to remedy that....
Thanks, sara.
Oh, boy. I just leant on my elbow by mistake, screamed, fell onto the bed, whimpered, and felt my teeny migraine get a skosh bigger.
From some perspectives I'm fucked for tomorrow. It remains to be seen which perspective I choose.
Off to the mines.
ita, if you don't pass tomorrow, can you retake?
I have work to do. my remote desktop will not connect. I wish this wasn't a deadline situation, because I am in the midset to get a bunch of house stuff done. Stoopid computers.
Go use ita's computer! Everyone else is!
Seriously, sorry your day is being thwarted by computers.
Everytime I start to be productive one of the cats intervenes with cute and I end up cuddling them and doing nothing. Guess I should head out.
Don't wanna.
Of course you don't. I'm sorry.
Everywhere the stud finder says there should be a stud, I can't find one when I drill in.
I have found most stud finders to be semi-reliable at best.
I am currently feeling awesome after watching last night's What Not To Wear with a big girl like me -- I think I do more or less what they said to. I could definitely try to layer more, but I do know the right shapes. (And by "big girl like me," I mean tall and kind of medium sized -- not fat, not skinny.)
