Did a nice run through Denver today. Ran the Cherry Creek trail. Beautiful place to run.
FitBit stats for this week
Starting to get back into the whole running thing again. Here are the latest stats. John B. was telling me that I should get used to being number 2 on the list.
Guess not…and I haven’t even got started. I have a triathlon to run in September.
Look out!
Basement Shelving project – part 2
Status as of Sunday afternoon. Front trim and doors to complete but that will be later on down the road.

Basement Shelving project
Spent the weekend building storage shelves…lots and lots of storage.
Pic of The High Line, NYC
I was in NYC last week and took this picture on The High Line. Great place to run. See more here.
The house projects – cabinets
I have two projects left on the interior of the house:
1. Baseboards
2. Cabinets
In the case of the cabinets it’s more than just cabinets. It will be cabinets plus shelving and other doodads to complete a laundry room, pantry, mud rooms and two walk-in closets.
So below is a picture of the first carcase that I am working on.
Total cost at this point is $40 including the maple face frames (not seen)
cross-cut sled for cabinets
Last night I finally got everything put together with the table saw. The output table set up, everything calibrated.
I then built the final thing that I needed to be able to start building cabinets…the cross-cut sled. These things are pretty easy to make. I ordered a couple of guides, cut a piece of wood and screwed them on.
Bingo. The last thing to do is square the fence to the blade. I used the 5-cut method and then the dial-in method.
Dead square.
Now I’m off to Europe for a couple of weeks and when I get back I’ll start putting cabinets together.
Reading 100 years of best selling books
Cool idea.

Laundry pedestal in place
Almost there. Just have to finish painting the drawers and we’re good.
