I am always a good guy, but today I did some things extra that I have been putting off for months. It good be getting close to a year, but do day I did it and I added some bonus projects as will.
Do you feel real good about yourself when you clean up the list that has been hanging over your head, I do. I couldn’t wait to tell Micki what it did.
Maybe you want to know what I did that I thought was such a big deal. Before I tell you it is important to know that this project needed a lot of planning and engineering. Thus for the length of time it took me to start the project.
When I finally engineered what need to be done I had to get into the planning stage. As you can imagine planning can take some time and it did. After the planning I needed to go over the engineering again.
Today was the day to implement the plan. The first part of the plan was to go to the hardware store. You know I love going to hardware stores, there is so much to look at. So it normally takes me an hour or more to get some screws. You know there is so much to see in a hardware store.
I found what I needed went to the cashier, paid up and start for home to tackle the project that has been waiting for me all these months or it could be a year.
It is now for all my engineering and planning to take this project to completion.
I was not afraid any more; actually I was never afraid of this project but reluctant to get started. So I started and that was my first big step.
To the patio and assess the patio chairs that need repair. Yes I said patio chairs. What happened was the plastic screws that hold the strapping broke on some of the straps. It was my responsibility to replace them and I was up to the challenge.
At the hardware store I purchased some self threading screws and plastic anchors that I could put in the hole that the broken plastic screws were in.
There is one other think when replacing the plastic straps you have to heat them to 400 F for about 5 minutes. At 400 F the strapping is too hot to handle without heavy cloves. That I had, but it you ever tied to hold a screw with heavy cloves.
I learned a lot about how to fix the strapping, so I can’t wait to repair the next patio chairs.
Oh, I did couple of bonus projects to so I am ahead of the list, I think.
Happiness with wealth to you
