No project can go as planned. It just never happens. So far, the new house has been one stumbling block after another. It was a short sale that took forever to close. There were complications and inspections and blah blah blah... whatever. Now we have the house and stuff is still hitting the fan. For instance, I needed to attach a 2x4 to my foundation wall. I bought a masonry bit and some heavy duty Tapcon fasteners. The wall ate two masonry bits completely and stripped two tapcon bolts. It also snapped two of them off. I don't get it. I got the post attached and I got that portion of the fence in place but at a pretty significant cost. Then I went to build the next portion of the fence. I got the runners and posts in place pretty easily. Spun up the compressor to use my handy new nail gun (holy hell. I LOVE my nailgun. 21 degree round head framing nailer = joy in my heart.) and went to adjust the pressure. The hose pressure dial said 100 PSI which is higher than I needed. I went to adjust it down to about 80 and... the knob fell off in my hand... Yeah. SHIT. So now I need to repair or replace my compressor.
Good times, I suppose.
Goal is to have the fence dog-proof and have the important stuff (bed, fridge, Computers) moved within the next 48 hours... GO!
