Crafttime : Shelf

So I’ve been looking for a shelf for quite so time for my office. I took a end table out of my living room because the mess I had was becoming too much .I wanted to put my living room back together which meant I had to find something to hold all the crap in my office . I went to Target, Wal-Mart, Big Lots and Dirt Cheap several times . Looking for a simple and non expensive black shelf . Finally I gave up because the shelf that I was looking for wasn’t going to be found !
So Kristi Michelle and I set out on an adventure to Home Depot . I love Home Depot when I was remodeling my house in 2006 Home Depot was my favorite store. I went there so much that I made friends with several of the employees. But I had never had an experience with the wood department . Kristi Michelle helped me figure out what kind of wood to pick to make this shelf . Yes I decided to make a shelf and I didn’t even think about the size of the wood or the size of the shelf I wanted to make. We got this nice guy to pick out ” the good wood” and pushed it forth to pay for it ! $19.48 later I was otw home to build the shelf of my dreams . Now I had already called a friend to bring down the wood cutter but the night crept up on us quicker than expected . Then KMS left me to defend for myself with a measuring tape and pen .
Soon my other half came home and to my surprise was very very helpful with the cutting and showing me where to drill. Of course we ran into a problem with leveling because somehow his leveler was missing . But it turned out pretty stable without it .
A couple days later Kristi Michelle came over to help with the painting process !
And although we almost froze to death the shelf is FANTASTIC!
