29.375 Cubic Feet Larger

Because my father can never come up and just sit down, we dug into that hallway again and this time made some visible improvements. Since these angled walls have proven less than cooperative when it comes to maximizing our space, we have decided to takes matters into our own hands and create space where there wasn't space before.

Behold! Our new built-in.

It's not much, but not much is what we were looking for. Still took all damn day. All the real work is hidden, but maybe I can tell you about it someday.

Renegade Style

That's how we're living. On the cusp. Today I tore into a grapefruit with my claws, flinging skin and peel everywhere. Then I worked on the shelves some more, forgoing measurement and eyeing it up. The thing stands so... and it's 90% done. Waiting for anchors.

Laura's contribution to renegade living was cooking with dirt tonight. And Yuula's is wearing a Bill Murray onesie. I'll show you.....

The Rain Stop Who'll?

Not me! That's who'll.

A little less than a year ago I got the idea to build a few shelves about the living room (seen here), and with the added baggage that baby brings, the spread has become disastrous and I felt action needed to be taken.



This morning I woke at the crack and got out and at 'em. Cutting, screwing, drilling, rulering. And the rain was raining. I chose to ignore it, to the effect that I hung a giant tarp over the porch, aka my workspace, and kept on. I was determined.




Laura had made plans with the Trunks to meet for lunch. We did the Darjeeling Limited thing and made chitchat. Jacob & I are quite similar. We both love ancient ships and our brothers. We posed the babies. Floor of an Indian restaurant: Check!




I'd show you finished photos of the shelf, were it finished. Tomorrow. Right after I paint that last shelf for Yuula's a-frame, from two months ago. Procrastinator.

Another Wood Working

For months now I've had this idea of building an a-frame ladder-style shelf in Yuula's room. No one, especially my wife, shared my vision. Today they saw the light. They saw the shelf. With the lights on.



Missing a middle shelf still but 85% done. Start adding stuff tomorrow. There's plenty to add. And for a bonus I threw in some alcove shelves. I broke the moulding on the middle one so now I have two things to get at the Depot.



Thanks Dad.
