Jammin (sung to Bob Marley) Day 397

Before Turkey Day I'd built the window jambs out in the bathroom and really struggled. Built them thicker than needed, then planed them down to be flush with the drywall. Big mistake (no. 1.1). I realized that I should just make them stand 1/16" proud, then back caulk any gap that might form behind the final trim. Duh!

So today I took the new approach to the window jambs. Did 5 in one short day, which was about one an hour. Not bad, but it seemed ironic that as I started the first one an old Bob Marley tune came on the light jazz station— specifically Jammin:

Ooh, yeah! All right!
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.

Holy Shit! That was definitely a karma moment. Yeap, built 5 jambs, attached them and didn't screw up a single one!. By 3 pm, I figured I had tested my luck, so I bailed out and went to Carls for more jamb lumber (1x5 vg hemlock). All set to do the last 2 downstairs, then tackle the garage and upstairs (10 more windows).

On another positive note, I off loaded the 144 bottle wine cooler that Fredricks Appliances had thrown in on our appliance package. Since we have a space dedicated to a wine cellar in the basement, why would you want to use voltage to keep wine cool. I posted the sucker (new in box) on Craigslist at 5 pm last night, and had 4 offers to buy it by this morning. Sold it to the first person for cash and it left the garage at 1 pm. Damn, I love Craigslist even if its going to run all the big newspapers out of business.
