How'd I Do That?

How I ask you is it possible for me to spend an hour calculating exactly where I need to drill two holes in the floor, and yet still manage to drill in the wrong fucking place?...

I am absolutely disgusted with myself for not catching the error sooner... I don't even want to imagine how much of a pain in the ass it is going to be to plug the cherry floor... I mean, its near the baseboard, and it'll be behind furniture, and nobody will ever see it, but for the rest of the time I own this house, I will know that plug is there... I will actually loose sleep over this, not just tonight, or into next week, but on and off for years... I know I shouldn't be that upset, but that's the reality...

I can't even say live and learn here... I already know better... I've already made mistakes like this in the past... This is just bad carpentry karma...

Ugh!!!

I'm so sorry. I understand.

Plunge router, plywood guide template with a circle hole cut in it 1" bigger than your router base (or whatever the plug size is, you know the drill). Or sixty bucks for a new plug cutter? Lord, now I'm turning this into a tips thing. Know exactly what you mean bro'. I've got easter eggs buried all over SE Virginia.

I'm going for the new plug cutter method... Perhaps the cash will remind me not to do it again... And then I have it for next time I do something so painfully stupid... Oh, and I'm going to plug with solid cherry, since I can't imagine dropping plywood in to my floor...
