Meet my new buddy: The Plunge Router

Yesterday I was over at my friend Susan's for a dish of her kick ass linguini and clams (perhaps she'll read this, and post the excellent recipe?), and I told her I was planning on building a bookcase.

"Cool!" she says. "Do you want to borrow my router?"

No, actually, I bought a cool new plunge router at the HD yesterday. Today, I whipped it out and built a new 8-foot bookcase for the backroom.

Here it is, the before & after:

Plunge router's pretty handy to have around, as is the cool construction-girl girlfriend.

very nice. while I am there you can show me what a plunger router is and how to use it. I want to build a bookcase into the wall in my new office.

No Problem! I have another bookcase to build -- we'll make it together. :)

Also, I signed us up for whale watching on Friday morning. And a fancy lunch on Sunday. So I guess we'll build on Saturday. Sweet!

I can't wait. Is there anything you would like me to bring from NO?

Michelle said...

I'm OK but severely out of shape, and I'm rarely in New Orleans on the weekend anymore. You would give me such an a**-whooping that I could never live it down...but seriously, I am trying to get back into shape, so maybe one day this summer, when I am in town-THE MATCH OF THE CENTURY.!..Sandyman
