desktoppery
Two desktops are built and resting on VERY temporary legs so I can figure how much more desk I need (two feet, give or take); for-really-real legs arrive tomorrow. Solar guys will start rough wiring the system next Wednesday so I can start drywalling by the end of next week. Might be working in here sooner than I expected - which, now that I've said it, means I'm not working in there until 2027.
babyshed, ctd
(previously…) Roof paneling is almost done, save for a few more 1x4x6 choppings, and K has stained the front and side and added the first touch of her-ness with the sun. Butterflies incoming...
I’m mostly excited that the mower fit and didn’t roll out the door, as it did earlier. I’ll be even more excited when I get the mower running again. Next thing to learn: electric lawnmower repair.
BabyShed
Summer project, number two: BabyShed, under construction, while we wait on NuShed to arrive. Why do we need two sheds? Other than because why the fuck not, we're going to turn NuShed - at least partially - into my office (Paintshop will be refitted to make room for my grandfather's pool table) and we need space for garden stuff and I refused to assemble another one of those fucking plastic ones - plus, I learned to do something new. Still very much a work in progress - I'm about 90% done with construction - but K will soon transform turn it into whatever melange of color and whimsy she desires. Note: door is from old shed, the last thing my grandfather built, and the window pane is from the old barn at my paternal grandfather’s place.
potting station alpha
K had been using an old outdoor table that I’d moved (in mowing frustration) under the old swingset as a gardening / potting workstation, and we both ended up liking how it looked. Emboldened in projects of a construction nature after I built a fence panel and a retaining wall for NuShed, I decided to build her a little patio this afternoon. And thus, Potting Station Alpha (aka Baby’s First Patio) was born.
