As long as it evens out


This week at the Rusted Nail has had its ups and downs.  Monday started off with a series of small calamities that when combined formed one large headache.  Debacle #1- a project that was nearly finished and needed a few final touches decided to act a stubborn little brat when the door that was installed on it randomly decided to warp and not close properly. After failing to get the door to close as it should we stepped away and began working on another disaster. Debacle #2- We decided cleaning boards for future projects was good choice since not many things can go wrong de-nailing and sanding. But of course we were wrong. We got the nails out of the board and began sanding when all of a sudden the sanding equipment began making sounds that would make Chuck Norris squirm. But unlike Chuck Norris, we don’t have a magic fist behind our beard that could fix the problem. We decided to take a few hours off, go home take a nap and hope to forget about the previous couple of hours. After falling into a mini coma the phone rang. Figuring it was a call saying the shop had burned down or that some other debacle had occurred we just let it ring. It seems things have a way of leveling out however and the phone call turned out to be a customer wanting to buy a 2 pieces for her home, one for each debacle earlier in the day.  Let’s hope this next week has more gratifying moments than disastrous ones.
