What did you accomplish today?

I have some cork laminate to install our bedroom, had it for years. I have to tear down our captains bed with a headboard and drawers under it and get a frame and box springs to set the mattress on temporarily, plus move a 6 drawer dresser. I might get to it this summer?
I have a captain's bed that needs to go upstairs too. The room would have to be cleared out first. That is my holdup.

I camped last night. I got in 3-4 miles hiking in light rain. Was really warm when I laid down. I covered with a sheet and used the sleeping bag like a blanket. About 0300 the cold front blew through, and I had to get in the sleeping bag.

Didn't do shit at the house today other than take a nap after lunch. Came into work an hour early to set up our new printer. Got that done. And the wife called about my Federal Grand Jury Duty. Recording said I didn't have to report in the morning or check back in next week. Might get something done this week now.

Our bedroom needs painted also (someone needs to decide a color), plus replacing the baseboards to cover the laminate. I think I need some warmer weather before starting it. I don't think I can cut the laminate with my miter saw, it is too wide, so I would have to run out back and use the table saw for every cut.

Make a jig and use the circular
I did that ... made a double jig one time that allowed me to make nice panel crosscuts with my Skilsaw. I built me a nice waist-high table of a 4x8 sheet of plywood with 1/2" of styro insulation sheet underneath. Easiest panel saw ever.

I used a many-teeth carbide blade, but found that the thrice-as-many-teeth carbon steel blade worked a treat.
