Meet Weldo: he’s not pretty, but for being my first welding attempt, I’m rather pleased.
Another wall of bookshelves built and brimming.
The first of 🤷 bookshelves are built and alphabetized, Abbott ➡️ McCarthy. Top two shelves were built by K’s grandfather, rest are my new additions. Slowly, slowly this project trundles on.
Saturday project
Paintshop transformation continues. Built an action figure display(!) in the space between where The Collection ends and the books begin. P.S. boards across chalk ware Supermen are placeholders to keep them from falling while I muck about with said transformation.
weekend scrap project
Combined the detritus of recent porch and shelf construction projects (along with one of several inherited cutting boards - anyone need one?) to make a set of shelves / extension for the (extremely very limited) kitchen counters. Rather pleased with how this one turned out.
Far more enjoyable to build my own shelves than to wage war with instructions and dowel rods and another fucking allen wrench.
lumber grind
For the past two days, an incessant bang/clang. Pretty sure it's construction on the bridge a little ways down the highway, but can't be sure.
Speaking of construction: Shortened day as I'm also neck-deep in transforming The Paintshop into the pool table room / workout room / Collection haven and have bookshelves to build. Going with two wall-mounted shelves per unit, around the top of the room. Need to save up every bit of space I can find to ensure proper cue-table distance for shooting pool. Once the shelves are up, might have a better idea of what else I need to do with the space.
As for here, I'm in the process of figuring out the best way to have this digital space represent me where I am now, creatively and authentically, without losing that something something about it that makes me want to consistently evolve it so that it remains an omnipresent part of my life.
Need to go buy lumber. And mozzarella for salad. And a new coffee grinder. Fucking burr grinder died on me at 0500 this morning.
major (DIY) construction operations complete
Finished the flooring and trim yesterday, the desk today. Other than solar (leaving that part to the pros on Tuesday) and shelves and moving all writing / making stuff out there, major DIY NuSanctum construction operations are complete. Aiming to be Working-working in there by the end of the week.
(nu)sanctum/20240811
Ceilings, walls, and eaves are done. Gaps in the walls on the right and left are the next pieces to tackle: wrap-around shelving for under the eaves and above those workstations (I’ll also build shelving for under the stand-up desks. Bit by bit, (Nu)Sanctum comes to life…
(nu)ceiling
Decided I wasn’t feeling the metal ceiling in NuSanctum, so I tore it out and put in a new one. And that's what I did with my day.
