Afternoon boys. Really pleasant out today. MoW LD lit, with water.  Taking a break from the f'n bathroom project.

Afternoon Bean, I thought you were finished with that project.

Not quite. Real close, but have to order a towel bar, and the warden still wants crown molding on top of the cabinets. A PITA which I've been putting off.

Ahhh, crown molding. That will test a man

Indeed.  Wall cabinets aren't really designed for it, either. 

Right, usually have to add some 5/4 spruce to the top of the cabinets, attaching through the top style

I cut some 2x4 pieces from what I have on hand for that purpose.  We'll see, might be too big.  3, 2, 1.....

2x4 is pretty heavy but just build the frame on the ground then attach molding from the rear so no holes to fill and set the entire assembly in place is the easiest way.

I watched a YouTube video.  The guy had a pneumatic brad nailer, made it look pretty easy.  Am not about to purchase that setup for this one job.

I got one if you want to use it.

Thanks for the offer. I'll try framing them up on the bench first.  Will post a picture if it turns out well.

LMAO!  Not too far from the truth.

Thats basically the opposite of what I would do but have at it! Lol

LOL there is always more than one way that is just the way I have seen it done and seems easier to fit things up right. And

Well if that's the way he decides I would take some cardboard and lay it on top of the cabs and trace a template, this way you have a change to combat the squareness issues

Several ways to deal with it but best way would depend on how the top of the cabinets are built.  Cheapo Beano should have bought better cabinets

Square ones cost extra, cutting into an already cheapo cigar budget 😄

Bean has no authority on that project, he is nothing more than unpaid common labor.

The real problem is we didn't hire somebody else to do it. Cheapy cheapo mistake.

Au contraire, Bean is anything but common.

Almost time to go to work. Guess I need to get ready. I'll try and drop in later. Just a warning. Figure it's only fair.

BFF!  He's alive!

Boogity! Just a friendly revenant! Howdy CB! You doin' alright my friend? Hiya B'soTL!

[Baby Face Finster]

I'm going to be pretty busy while I'm here, but I think I should at least try to go to Casa Fuente. Probly end up spending a stupid amount of money for a stick and a drink, but maybe they'll have something special. This could be the last time I get to haunt the strip. What the hell.

[Baby Face Finster]

Well since I'm on pretty much a reverse schedule here, I guess it's time for bed. Gotta get up and head to work before the casino rats start their march back to bed. Maybe things will get crazy later on this week. G'nite folks!
