I had the brilliant , i.e. stolen idea of putting a chalkboard message center on our back door, instead of my usual method of taping up copious notes. In my head, all of my DIY projects go smoothly and quickly. In reality there are always hiccups and frustration and no little bit of cursing. This project went fairly well until the last screw, which basically just refused to go in. I'm getting madder and madder and my language more sailory and my wonderful helper Jack is getting tired of holding the stupid frame up. In the end I gave up and left a big screw just sticking out about two inches. But Isaac came home and basically just brute forced that baby in! Success!...and now we are all compelled to write on it, fun!
I have a recalcitrant screw on my garden swing. I am careful not to sit on it, which requires a bit of maneuvering, sadly. I need to get some manly fellow to come screw it in. It was screwed in at one time, and kind of unscrewed itself and now remains stubbornly sticking up. Right where one would put one's bottom. Grrrrrr!
