Off and on for about 3 years, i've been working on this shelf. It's not a complicated piece of work by any stretch of the imagination, it's essentially just a 5 foot long piece of oak. But it's something that i address in my down time between other projects.
Since i've starting sharing my time with Utica, when i'm back home, sometimes i'll go down into the basement and throw a coat of poly on it - i want many coats so it's nice and shiny, and easy to clean.
Today, i decided it had enough coats, so i was going to screw on the mounting brackets for it. Excited to make progress on my 3 year long project.
I did my measuring, two or three times. I marked the holes on the shelf where i need to pre-drill. The brackets are going to go into studs, so i space them out 16" apart. I realized that my combination square wasn't screwed in tight, so the markings weren't at the proper angle. No big deal, didn't do anything yet, so i cleaned off the old marks and then re-marked where the brackets are supposed to be.
Things are looking good, so i screw the brackets into the shelf. I got to use all three of my drills/drivers, and the new little right angle driver attachment that my dad got me recently, so i was feeling real excited about all this.
I then step back to admire my work, and they're totally, utterly, and completely wrong.
The space between the edge and the first bracket is 16". Then a foot or so. Then another bracket. Then, for some reason i can't quite explain, the next bracket is about 20" away. Then a foot to the end of the board. Not a single thing is in the right spot.
I stared at it for a very long moment.
And that's when i walked away.
