However, they are not simple baseboards.
I also need to make a trip to Costco and I want to do that early. However, Costco doesn't open until ten. So I have a couple hours to get some stuff done, take a Costco break, and then get back here and get to work.
12:36PM: I've been to Costco and back.
I set up everything in the backyard and went to work. First I had to cut my boards down from ten inches to about eight and a half. That all went reasonably well.
I changed out the saw blade for my half inch Dado blade and decided to try it out on my shortest board. I'm cutting nearly two and a quarter inches out of the board and it appears to be very stressful on my saw. It tripped the breaker on the saw. I was able to reset it but even taking it really slow didn't prevent the saw from tripping the breaker again.
My plans have been foiled by a malfunctioning table saw. Specifically, the reset button on the table saw. I have just returned from a venture out into the world to procure another reset button, but it's specific enough to the table saw application that I have to try and find it on line. Here I go!
1:07PM: It is possible I have found the part and it is available in Spokane. I found it through Grainger.com, who seem to have everything. I'm waiting for an e-mail telling me to go and pick it up.
In the meantime, I'm dead in the water with my baseboard project until I get this part. I guess I'll go clean up.
2:30PM: I just returned from Grainger in the Valley with my new part. Unfortunately, it is not even close to the part I ordered. I should have checked it before leaving. Now I have to go back.
Shit!
I can't make it there before they close for the day. And they're not open until Monday. Unfortunately, they close at 3 which is most inconvenient.
SHIT!
Time to go to the pool.
