a day well spent

For some stupid reason i went in to college today just for half an hour of information on UCAS that i have already been force fed hundreds of times before. I was pretty annoyed by this and decided to do something today to compensate. i took my massive painting home from college and thought i'd spied a space on my wall room for it.

Circa 12 I arrived in B&Q sporting very smart paint splattered shoes, tracksuit bottoms and my work shirt in the pissing rain, i wandered about looking for wood, got lost a few times couldn't find anyone and thus left. I arrived back at home, had a brew watched deal or no deal and plucked up the courage to attack another hardware store in the form of maxwells down the road. I bought around 8m of 20mm x 36mm wood, a pack of nails, some joining tech thingy's and a staple gun. then set to work on the build fueled by a tasty brew.

This is the first time i've ever made a stretcher and stretched a piece (despite it being paper, thus more folded than stretched), and as a result i am very proud of it. Next time however I will buy thicker stronger wood as screwing into it caused the wood to split every time, hence the heavy duct tape. Using duct tape just made me feel more manly though, next time im going to encorporate WD-40.
