I just spend a couple of hours reading a very simple plan, crafting wood, drilling holes, putting it all together and right now a first layer of paint is drying. Well, it's not really paint, but some sort of environmentally friendly coating to protect wood.
I doubt I'll enjoy my little creation being used this year though, but coming spring it'll hopefully serve it's purpose. No photographs yet, maybe when I finished it.
I'm not too proud of the details and not a lot of "fine craftsmanship" was used, but for a first attempt, it's acceptable. I think I should install electricity in my garage though, as that would beat working on a very small terrace.
Off to the shower after I trimmed my hair and then I'll be cycling over to a "client" that is suffering from computer problems, and from what I heard, pretty serious ones as well. The problem is that it's one of those "know personally but not close enough to consider friends" kind of customer - what brings up the "should I bill them or not" question again.
I'd say bill'em. People who only know your name when they are in trouble shouldn't be considered friends, and therefore should be billed !!!
Yeah yeah, I know. It's not like that though, as I only meet them on ferret related events, they are not the kind of "only know you when I need something" people. I ended up not billing them, even though they asked. They've got plently of good karma and are always working as volunteers themselves, so I gave them a break.
The only question now is : will good karma put something on my sandwich? ;)
