brave enough?

My big question for today: will I be brave enough to wield an angle-grinder for the first time? Various metal things for the bathroom need editing and I haven't the strength or patience to do it with a hacksaw. Is it stupid to also cut wooden things with an angle-grinder?

First I need to finish waking up. Then I will measure and mark the cut lines carefully. Then find clamps, goggles etc. Both hands on the anglegrinder... We will see.

It is late for me to be still waking up. I went to bed early-first time for weeks. Then got a call from giddyaunt , a lovely thing, and still within the bounds of "a reasonable hour". Then work rang with a big issue in one of my ports which kept me up till past midnight. Not my fault and I can't fix it but that doesn't stop me feeling sick-guilty. Really hard to sleep in that state. I am on tenterhooks waiting for the call that says all OK now.

wimpish but productive

Turns out I am not so very brave but I did get the job done.

I got all my cutting chores measured, marked and prepped. Then I found the angle-grinder, got it out of it's box, looked at it's parts, read the manual and then put it back in the box. Sigh. Just not that brave.

However I am not defeated by this. All cutting chores done with hand tools. Hoorah for hacksaw and tin snips!

So I have:
-cut down the knob screws for the 8 drawer chest.
-assembled said chest
-cut down both bathroom blinds to fit inside the window frames.
-reinstalled the blinds.

Now I am a bit achey and it is 2 hrs later that I thought it was. I had better scurry if I want to run my errands and still get to pasta tonight in good time. Ah, better put tools away first.
