Memorial Day fumble

Went to Home Depot to return the hole saw pilot bit first thing in the morning, only to find out they don't carry that brand. "I guess I must have bought it at Lowes." Successfully returned and bought a new one at Lowes.

When I hit Sultan on the way up Highway 2, I rememberd I'd forgotten to grab the front door key (which had inadvertently gotten locked on Saturday.) So I turned around, grabbed the keys and got back on the road with a 40 minute delay from my original start time.

After arriving at KnArrow Haus, I went to put the new bit in the drill and realized only then I had bought a replacement bit for a 3/8" chuck instead of the 1/2" chuck. Shut down on any additional plumbing work.

To salvage some semblance of a productive day, I installed the rest of the exterior stair tread risers. (See above.)  This is thankless, knuckle busting work.

Then I spent an extra hour in holiday return traffic on Highway 2, finally arriving at Lowes in Monroe to replace the 3/8" bit with the 1/2" bit. Also picked up an extra can of ABS glue.


"Fumble."
