Repairing a Piece of Plate Glass

the bedroom bureau with the repaired piece of plate glass on top

I have NO IDEA if this was a good idea.  About 2 years ago the piece of thick, plate glass that has always covered the painted bureau in our bedroom broke when something heavy fell on it.  Since then the 2 pieces have been sitting on the girl cave floor.  Today after work I decided to try fixing the glass.

Happy 5th Blogiversary to Me!

happy 5th blogiversary to me!

I can’t believe it’s my 5th Blogiversary.  I started back in 2013 and have come so far in 5 years!  I am so comfortable with everything I never used to be.  Buying wood.  Cutting my own wood.  Buying paint.  Fixing things instead of replacing them.

A Bird’s Nest & A Clogged Gutter

i spray painted the wire mesh hardware cloth i used to cover the bird nest

Lately it’s been so rainy, which is great, because our plants & trees & grass & rivers need it!  Sometimes I wake up at night when the rain gets heavy and listen to it splattering onto the deck instead of going quietly down the gutter.  Every time I hear it I think “I really need to get up there and see why it’s not draining”. 

Bedroom Wall – Part 4

the 9 shades of white i tried to match to the bedroom ceiling

Why is everything so much harder than you think it will be? After fixing the ceiling fan, I had a hell of a time finding a ceiling paint color match. And just when I thought the wall was done I discovered a problem. Meh.
