666: We Have Nothing That Hot

I'm happy to report that all of my wood cutting and wood hanging and shelf hanging is complete. Hooray. Yep. I figured out a bunch of I actually had to go to the hardware store twice, of course, because I ran out of wood because I needed more than I thought. Otherwise, it all went well. I didn't injure myself too badly at any point. Good. I did probably, as predicted, probably used way too many screws and probably dramatically overbuilt, things. But That's fine. I was I was happy to figure it all out, and it worked out great. And, Tiff was very pleased with it, and we're all very happy with the results. Did you do any sanding? Was what was I supposed to sand? So you're cutting pieces of wood, and when you have the cut end, it's kinda like sharp, you know, sharp corners on the cut end. And Oh, yeah. They're a disaster. So you didn't wanna, like, sort of sand you could sand those edges down a little bit so they're not so spiky and splintery? That would have been better. Instead, I just left them spiky and splintery because I'm like, I'm not gonna touch that. It's full of splinters. I mean, they're not like most of these pieces of wood are so high off the ground that you can't really reach them without some kind of stepping device, from the ground anyway. So, like, it's not really an issue, and and they're not they're not really in places that you'd be reaching without looking. You should send some pictures. You put them in the Slack. We'd love to see your handiwork. Alright. Yeah. You can see my, and now keep in mind, the disclaimer here is that I did nothing to reduce the amount of stuff. All I did was put it all up on the wall. Hey, Noah. This looks great. You did a good job. So there we still have a huge amount of stuff, and that that has not changed and will take longer to change. At least now, it is off the floor. What are the brackets made out of? The ones that hold the shelves? Yeah. They're metal. They can't they're like Amazon shelves. I've had I've had a few other copies of these shelves around the house for a couple of years. Oh, I see. So the shelves that you're what we're just looking at is the wood backing that you described for getting around the your stud issue. Yeah. Exactly. And I did find every stud and screwed each board into every stud, and there are there are three two by fours holding up each each shelf because I I originally had planned two. This is why I had to get more wood. I originally planned two, but the spacing of the screw holes on those shelf brackets was such that it would have been, like, they would have been mounted very close to the …
