Wax?

Yep, wax makes boards slide together much better, I wish that I had thought of it yesterday.  I was sliding 2x6's under the deck and they were a tight fit.  On the third one, I tried oil, it helped a little, but I still did a lot of pounding.  Today I remembered wax makes things slide better, I got a candle from Vera, used the torch to heat the wood and melt the candle.  It went in half way with hardly any resistance, then I had to pound on it a little the last half, but I was done in about 10 minutes!  Vera's new shelves came today, all bent up!  I printed out the receipt and we took them back to Home Depot for a refund.  We picked up a couple of things for my projects and forgot one item we have been meaning to get.  After we got home, I finished screwing down the boards, had dinner, watched some Olympics and went out the do some more organizing in the shop.  It was really nice outside so I decided to fly the little helicopter instead.  I got in two nice flights and then went out to the shop.  I hunted everywhere for my blue masking tape, Vera came out and found it in about 2 minutes.  I must have walked by it ten times!  We got the pressure washer out so I can do the deck tomorrow.  I decided it was time to call it a day and come in here for the evening.

I am always talking about the little helicopter, this will give you an idea how small it is.  It's battery is sitting in the teaspoon, it will fly 8 minutes with that battery.
