My house is no longer two colours. Well, it’s still two colours, but it’s the main colour, plus the trim colour…and OK’s “Love Story” peachy pinky beige-y that’s almost right. I put one coat of paint on after work today; hopefully, the weather will allow me to finish this week with the computer-matched final colour. […]
When I got home from work, I should have mowed the lawn, but it’s getting so late in the season that siding took precedence. The bottom course really needs to be replaced, but that’s not going to happen this year, so my goal is to minimize damage to the rest. Since there are gutters on […]
My clothes are in some creative spots, but I took Friday off to make my closet into a guest room. I spent 9.5h on it, but it came out okay. I finally got my speakers back up, and my office put together. I drilled the world’s most careful hole in my desk for monitor cables; […]
I gave up on the stupid moulding for today and perhaps tomorrow, but did nonetheless manage to accomplish something. We’re civilized again!
I had five minutes this morning, so I put a coat of paint on my repair. I also put a second coat on the printer cabinet doors, but no pictures because they look the same. After work, I carefully taped up drop sheeting so I could clear coat my furniture. Miffy’s hair didn’t help, but […]
Crazy, a little stupid, and it worked! I think the drywall compound will even be okay; it sucked up the oil-based primer like a camel in the desert, which is good because once that primer hardens (and it hardens like rock), the front of my door will be more resistant to potential dings. Another coat […]
Not bad for what it cost, and won’t look so weird and stark once I can put my stuff back, and get the doors on the cabinet. Hopefully, I’ll get Cliffie’s old tank taken down before the weekend, then I can do the small cabinet.
I haven’t taken many pictures because I’m so sick of painting, and also because it looked almost embarrassingly bad when I started, but I’m making progress on Phase Two of the Great Office Furniture Reclamation. I ought to be…it took me all goddamned weekend. The worst is over, though; the desk and cabinet are basically […]
They’re both done. Still have rocks holding the wood down because it’s not quite waterlogged yet, but all of the plants that are going in are in. I have some dwarf sag left, but nowhere to put it. It wasn’t expensive, though, and I put all I wanted in both tanks. The 55 is nice […]
I’m sick of this thing, but I got 1/4″ plywood to cover the CRT knockout in the back. Kind of a bitch to install (nothing really solid to attach it to), and I made one small scrape in the paint (fixed it) but it’s in, and once the glue dries, I’ll put the beadboard paper […]
