Pissed Off

Last night I decided to hang the flannel for the design wall. I got out all my tools and materials and got to work.

This was as far as I got. The electric stapler kept skipping staples, then wouldn't fire at all.  After repeated attempts to get it to work, I noticed the spring that kept the staples in line was not connected at one end. Nothing I did got it to work.  Frustrated, I took it apart.

I almost got it back together, but then something came apart and before I could notice how it went together properly. I can't get those two little pieces where they belong. So there it sits.

It's not an expensive stapler, and a quick look at Amazon and Home Depot tells me it has terrible reviews. Oh well, I've had it over 7 years so I guess I can't complain. I'll have to get another one.

Argh. And to think I could have been sewing instead!
