I actually thought I was going to build a workbench today. What a dolt! After toiling in my garage all day, I’m still not ready to build the workbench.

I took everything off the walls and pulled down all the plywood. I thought it would be a good idea to move some wires while I had the studs exposed. Actually, I couldn’t put insulation in or put plywood on the lower half of the wall until I moved the wires. I also reconnected a light above the workbench that I disconnected several years ago.

I Can’t Enjoy Anything

The wind finally stopped blowing today. It was sunny and 69º, so I opened the garage door to get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful day. So, naturally, someone would have to come along and ruin it. While I was on the ladder making the connection, two salesmen from a construction company approached me to ask if I had any work for them.

The first approached and asked if he could give me a quote on any projects. I just said no without stopping what I was doing. Then, just a few minutes later, the other guy approached me. He wanted to give me a brochure, but I told him to just set it on the bandsaw – which was at the front of the garage. Both of the men apologized to me. I had no intention of being rude to them, but I also wasn’t going to stop what I was doing to talk to them.

One Step Closer

Once I was satisfied with the wiring, I put up the insulation. I don’t have a staple gun, so I used tacks. I got all of the plywood up on the big wall, but that’s as far as I got. It was too dark outside to see what I was cutting on the table saw, and I was tired, so I cleaned up and called it a day.
