I Mastered My First Power Tool!

I’m surprised at how many people stayed home this December holiday! Still, few of our friends are around as most of them are somewhere close to a beach. Yes, I am so envious, but hopefully I will get a turn soon :)

Being at home we planned to fly quite a lot, but the weather hasn’t played along so well. So instead, we’re sanding & staining cupboards & bookshelves. I mastered my first power tool today – the sander! Such a pity that the ebony stain came out the colour of blue-black hair-dye – disgusting!!! We had to sand the cupboard down TWICE, and then re-stain with Imbuia instead.

My husband is putting the cupboard together again as I’m typing, and I cannot wait to see what it looks like once we have the door knobs on!! I will try to remember to post a photo once everything is done.

DIY is quite fun, but only when you have someone to do it with – I guess its some sort of exercise? My hands are aching, so its got to be good for something!
