I have a long list of projects. Thinking about the list I realized I have to learn some new skills. First project is hanging my bathroom shelves. Dave had made a spice rack for over his stove. And I liked it, but not as a spice rack. I'm not keeping my spices above the stove. But I liked the design. I commented about wanting some shelves in the bathroom for product. Hair spray, gel, etc. So he designed and built two for me. In order to hang these shelves I need molly screws or some other good fastener. I don't want them falling off the wall.
I looked at Molly screws at Walmart and realized I know nothing about them. That prompted a trip to Ace Hardware to talk to the guys in the know. Now I have the right Molly screws and will make my first foray into using them. I understand how they work. We have used them before, but I never watched how Dave did them. Now I know this is no big deal. Just a little thing, but it's a new thing for me. So it will be a new skill.
Upcoming new skills will be using a pressure washer, staining, using Spackle, some new gardening skills. I have a long list that will keep me busy for awhile especially since some of it is seasonal.
