my failed attempt with a nail gun

When I have no idea what someone is talking about, I smile politely and giggle. And that’s exactly what I did when my friend Ben asked me if I knew what an air compressor was.

The other day I wanted to buy a nail gun, ya know like a little small girly one, but sadly Kmart didn’t have the one I wanted. Yes, I said Kmart.. So my friend Ben asked me if I wanted to borrow his, which I gladly accepted. The next day he brought this ginormous vacuum looking thing with a bright reddish pink hose and gray tool bag. He proceeded to tell me about the 3 nail guns in the bag, which was extremely heavy…at least for me. A staple gun, finishing gun and brad nail gun and each came with their own manual. He explained a little what each one did, but I just had no idea what he was talking about!

I felt like this kid

everyone kept telling me not to shoot my eye out. Or lose my fingers….

Which in the words of Mike & Snooki was

So I didn’t use it. :(

I tried Plan B…GORILLA GLUE!

I thought I would try to glue it first to see if it would hold, which it totally did! I glued the decorative pieces of wood and clamped them in place over night. I checked them this morning and there’s no way those things are going to come off. Gorilla glue saved the day! I will paint and measure today so I can get those storage shelves in there.

STAY TUNED (this is aimed at my boyfriend…he knows why)
