Welcome to the Projects

I finally go around to installing the peep hole our builder refused to give us.  It wasn’t very difficult, at least it shouldn’t have been.  Pro Tip #1: make sure the battery powered tools you want to use are charged.  Pro-Tip #2: pay attention to the types and sizes of drill bits you are using.  I ended up making the guide hole too large for the type of drill bit that would be making the actual hole.  As a result there was a little wobble initially but luckily it was covered by the eye piece.  Pro Tip #3: Put a block of wood against the side of the door you are punching through.  This will help prevent or at least reduce any splintering out of the door.  This I did manage to do with my wife’s help.  We did have some splintering but nothing that the eye piece and a little caulking couldn’t hide.

The plan is simple.  I have a lot of projectors I’d like to complete.  The problem is that I don’t have a lot of time to do them due to working two jobs.  So maybe, just maybe, if I can get excited about them by writting about them I can get motivated to actually do them.  It’s worth a shot anyway.  But please keep in mind.  Some of these projects, while simple to you, are new experiences for me.  I’ve never been very handy or creative so I won’t be inventing the next greatest gizmo or gadget.  I’ll be lucky to not loose a finger playing with power tools or to not electrocute myself playing with electronics.
