Popular Post munzieb Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's funny that the things you forget before you go to bed usually kick you in the butt in the morning! It seems I forgot to lock one of the two locks on the back door. Guess who reminded me about it in the morning. Decided to make a checklist (like my old Air Force days) to keep the complaining down. All strips are 3/4 x 1/2 and dadoed with a table saw blade width on the 1/2" sides. "Task" names were 1/8" BBPW scraps with Arial font. Red color is not ready, Green is good. I did abbreviate for front and back locks/lights and dog water. Made a French cleat to hang it. All quiet now!

Just remember that excess alcohol at bed time can affect the accuracy of the checklist! Luckily, I haven't watered the back door lights yet! LOL!

heppnerguy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 e As we get older, we find that some reminders really help us to get the little things done that sort of slips our minds when we suddenly wake up and find we should have shut off the television 2 hours ago and went to bed. A great idea, well thought out and made. I like it a lot Dick heppnerguy munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Great idea. I have been known to go to bed and leave the back door wide open and the screen door unlocked. Marg munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Waste of time for me I would forget where I put the checklist, heck, I would forget to even look for it!!! The clock I was given, like the one in you picture only runs a minute or two and stops...Like you say, just a prop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an addendum to making this, rather than cutting a groove with the table saw, use 2 each 1/4" stips and glue a 1/8" narrow strip between them to create the groove for the individual 1/8" plaques to side thru. Sand the edges of the plaques so they slide better. The tabs are just 1/4" pieces to fit and glued in place. I cut the fonts but text printed and glued on with contact glue will work also.
