What's this?

I was so on a roll

Putting up some shelves, used my router to cut some notches, get rid of a little edge overhang

ready to sand and prime the wood so I could leave it over night before heading over to my dad's. Maybe 15 more minutes of work?

Stupid sandpaper doesn't fit my hand sander, oh, right width but now 10" instead of 12" long. They do this to sell more sandpaper? Grrrrrr.

C'mon storm, hit now so you'll clear up by 6pm when I head down.

Dadgummit.
