30 Days – Day 9

I’ve been working on this one for months. Not a question of difficulty or time investment, but procrastination and hesitation.

I found the frame in a junk shop for a couple bucks. I bought the chalkboard paint for it months ago, had my dad cut the piece of wood to size, and then waited for a nice day to paint it.
Then, there was the dilemma of how to attach the board to the frame. This dilemma took another couple months to resolve.
But tonight, with Chad’s help, everything was put together.
And now it hangs in our kitchen.

It’s still hard for me to write on a vertical surface. I got pretty decent at it during my long term sub job, but that skill has atrophied with time.
Chad actually asked the landlord once if we could paint a chalkboard wall. He was not so into the idea. Besides, they’ll probably be passe soon anyway. They are so fun, though. This chalkboard in the kitchen will suffice for now.
