Bocce Ball, Meatfest, and working in the woodshop


Jerry did a great job this past weekend with Meatfest 2006. Chris cooked it all but thanks to Jerry's planning and use of the house, everyone had a great time. We had a fantastic Bocce Ball tournament, 17 people played and in the end Andy cheated me out of a point to take home the trophy. It's all good, I don't think Andy had ever won a trophy in his freakin life,,,,,just kidding. He played some great rounds and really pulled it off. It's all good, there will be a winter tournament and I am confident to whip his butt.

On monday Jerry and I made some nice trim for the kitchen bar tops. We could have gone to the store and bought premaid stuff, but there is just something about making what you want. We ripped some red oak 1x6 boards down, and ran them through the router table. by doing it this way we were able to make it the "just right size". It wasn't hard at all to do this.

The molding went up without a hitch (meaning I made all my cuts right) and really does look good. Now I have yet to paint it but, it has already made a difference. I hope to get the paint and grout done tomorrow or Friday. Here is a pic of the trim installed (unpainted)


On a side note, the SC in-laws have been making an extreme push on their own kitchen. We are talking a total gut, top and bottom, and underneath. I was totally blown away by the amount of progress that they have made down there. While they are just passing the half-way point, where ya start to put things back together. It was very entertaining to walk into someone else's project.


I am pretty glad that we didn't have to cut a hole in our kitchen floor. And Stoked that I didn't have to wear Tyvek to get the project done.

Hey, I didn't cheat you out of any points, and I have won lots of trophies before.

Most of them are for "Participation".
