Hoping that the materials for SMWCon are shared for those that can’t attend.

Trying to update Final Cut X but App Store can’t seem to authenticate me. 🙁

Landscapers blew me away with how fast they finished. 2 days and done.

Alright, no more pistachios. Ate about 20 and feel notably “wrong”. Must be a little allergic.

Remodel Update Week 15

More finish work continued this week. The exterior of the new mudroom got painted. The real door arrived and will be put in after painting. The bannister got installed in the family room as well as the hand railing and the utility and electrical rooms are being finished so we can start moving some stuff back in!

This week is more painting, finish work, cabinetry and landscaping is starting to restore the yard.

Cube: Time Series Visualization ← This looks incredibly interesting. Cool possibilities.

Giddy to have my espresso machine back operational! New heating element in place and general tuneup!

Ring the Bell 2011

We made our first trip to the Renaissance Festival on Labor Day. As I do every year, I had to swing the hammer. I rung the bell 3 out of 5 times this year. Average.

Remodel Update Week 14

This week was all about finish carpentry. Happily the tile floor in the mudroom got installed and it does look really nice. The finish carpenters showed up and put the doors in, got trim up, installed the pocket doors and generally “finished” things. They are doing an excellent job and have one more day of work next week.

Next week the outdoor railing on top of the mudroom and the front entrance gets put on, and the painters arrive on Wednesday to do the final painting. It’s pretty straight forward stuff now through the finish of the project and only a few more decisions to make. Having the two built-in cabinets delivered and installed will probably be the biggest remaining changes to the space itself.
