One of Those Projects....

Have you ever had one of those projects that just wouldn't end?  I'm having one of those with my oven project for my classroom.  I thought that I would finish yesterday for sure, but I was so wrong.  Over the past 24 hours about everything that could go wrong with constructing this project has gone wrong.  Yesterday I pretty much had to paint  the outside, install the "burners", knobs, and oven rack.  Simple enough, right?  Well, I got the paint on without a problem.  The knobs went on without a hitch.  The first three burners were a breeze, but the last one splintered so I had to fill in a spot so that I could sand it and repaint it.  No biggie.  However, the oven rack has pretty much made itself my arch nemesis.  I am making it out of an old wire rack because I thought that it would be neat to make it look like a real oven rack.  Halfway through I thought of a way that I could make it slide in and out, which I thought would be cool.  In order to make it work I had to make a couple of extra cuts.  I made the cuts and got sidetracked with doing something else.  I came back and, not thinking, I cut it again.  This made it too narrow and it wouldn't fit at all.  I didn't have another rack to make work so I had to spend a couple of hours reconstructing things to make it work.  It also required me to drill holes into the finished and painted sides, so I had to fill the holes in and have to wait for the filler to dry so that I can sand and paint it again.  Since that requires a few hours I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow.  In the meantime I thought that I would put the finishing coat of paint on the door and put the plexiglass in for the window.  After painting the door I dropped it, which got sawdust and smudges all over the wet paint, so I had to wipe it down and repaint it.  Then when I was cutting the plexiglass it snapped in half.  Fortunately, I had another piece that was scratched, but the scratches aren't too noticeable.  I finally got that done so now I am just waiting for the filler to dry so that I can take one more shot at finishing it.  I'm exhausted...
