Floorboards and Custom Cuts
We’ve got a bit of work to do in the main bedroom. There’s a light in the dining room (on the first floor) that we want to relocate, and the easiest way to do that is to go through the floor from up here.

Paths
I’ve been thinking today about the paths we choose. How there are options before us, and the decisions we make to go one way versus another. I’ve also been thinking about the external influences, that push or pull us, one way or another.
Sarah McLachlan: Adia
“‘Cause we are born innocent
Believe me, Adia, we are still innocent
It’s easy, we all falter
Does it matter?”
A Slow Day
I had a lot of errands to do, but pushed most of them off until tomorrow. While I wanted to get caught up on blog stuff, most of my day was spent in bed with Liz.
Jury Duty
I have a lot to say. I don’t know that I’ll say it on here, just yet. Check back in a year or so, as I might update this post with my actual thoughts then.
For now – I’m grateful for the experience, and the whole process is still something I”m trying to… well, process.
It’s a long story, and probably something better told in person. If you want to hear it, let me know – we’ll meet up, sink a beer or two, and I can tell you face to face.
Time
I’ve been thinking a lot about time, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.
Arguments
I’ve been thinking a lot about arguments, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic. New Fence Install, Day 1: Arguments and Angles Arguments Against Talking to the Police: Professor James Duane and Officer George Bruch
Ghosts
I’ve been thinking a lot about ghosts, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.
Waiting
I’ve been thinking a lot about waiting, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.
The Lowest Pair: Rosie
“I was happy once it was pure and good
But I was young I took it for granted
I misunderstood
If I had your love
I tell you what I’d do
I would kiss those hard-working hands
and I would marry you”
Down in a Hole
The goal is pretty straightforward: you’re a hole and your job is to eat everything. While there’s a multi-player element to things, the iOS version of the game has some pretty rudimentary AI so there’s no real danger from other “players.” Mostly, you’re playing against a rather generous clock.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 5: Sanding, Primer
Expecting a mess today, with a lot of drywall dust in the air from sanding. Woke up early to try to get things covered up as best we can.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 4: More Taping and Mud
Another full day, with more mudding. While I’m mostly familiar with the steps involved with drywall, this stage of things (the mudding and smoothing of things) is a mystery to me. I don’t know how, but they worked a full day, constantly in motion, getting things even and clean.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 3: Taping, Mudding, Bedroom Relocation, and the Opening of a New Room
Here’s the same bit of drywall, looking at it from the bedroom. When we first put up all this drywall (the blue stuff is soundproof drywall), the idea was that we’d eventually cut through and make this an entry into the closet. That day, finally, is today.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 2: Installation
After a full day, Liz and I were in awe walking around the upstairs. There’s still more to be done, but comparing how fast the two of us work versus a professional was… humbling.
