I'm with Nighthawk, I have a hard time balancing my checkbook, too. I also have a hard time balancing my attendance at work, hiding from the boss at work, goofing off at work so I don't get caught, and actually doing my job at work once in a while. This balancing act never ends.

Just a clarification… can it be 1 board foot (e.g. 6×24x1) because 12" wide boards tend to be spendy; or if not can we glue up a couple boards to make it 12" wide? Thanks.
