It didn’t just slide in like the other one, but I removed two of the bolts and it went in without any problem. Makes a cute shelf, I think!

One very rough box, constructed of plywood left over from the house I built for OK (which is actually used by Onje).

The sloppiest caulking job ever, but it was awkward in there with a caulking gun, and I wanted to make sure I got the knots and chips really well. Besides, it’s inside a planter, so meh. I’m also going to spray the inside with the sealant P got for the roof vent (there’s white left over).

Rough sanded and sprayed with a coat (AKA “the last of my”) American Accents Ultra Cover primer. I wrote out the whole name because I liked the primer, and if I throw out the can before I get more, I’ll probably forget what it was. I’m going to try the sand texture spray I used on the mirror; hopefully it’ll be enough to hide the fact that this is made from very rough plywood in very little time. If not, I’ll get the coarser-textured stuff. No big deal.

Cheap-ass avocado green Walmart pot, primed to receive a coat of copper paint.

Copper with one drip, but I’ll put that toward the wall. Heh.

I had another can of primer, so I did a second coat of that, then put a coat of the sandstone stuff on the planter. Couple of drips, but I don’t think I have enough to finish it anyway, plus I’ll just sand them out with fine sandpaper, so meh.

I installed the 7dBi antennas on the router. Improved performance some, but I don’t think I need a set for the Man Cave.

Old ones.

New ones.

Not a huge difference, but enough that I’ll probably notice it when streaming video to the gradge.

The last three sets of blinds arrived today. Fuck everything about putting screws in these window frames. Thought I was going to need a goddamned hammer drill. I ended up putting nails in first to make a hole (drill is too bulky to get close to the top), then pulling them out. Thank $deity for my mini wunderbar because I can’t get in there to pull nails with a hammer! Goodbye 15′ frothy nightmare, hello clean and unfussy lines.
