The Longest Birthday in the World
So, it’s taken some time to finish the floors and baseboard molding (moulding?) and painting, but it’s finally all done. I thought I’d snap a few pictures of it before we move the furniture in, so you could see all of our (Anna’s?) hard work. Actually, it was pretty joint-effort, which was nice. I did most of the flooring and installing the baseboards, and Anna did all of the painting (because I’m very good at painting outside of the lines. It’s not a marketable job-skill, but it gets me out of painting.) We still need to install the transition pieces and make sure the doors are trimmed to fit over the freshly-raised floors, but that’s for another week. Tonight, Anna’s helping me fill this room with desks and books–lots of books, carefully organized by LOC call numbers, because I am crazy.

- Peanut thought I wanted him to model for me again, and walked past right as I was snapping this shot. He did so three more times before I sent him to another room.

- This sort of shows the completed floor reaching the other wall.

- This sort of shows the color contrast we went with. These floors are remarkably quiet for floating floors–that probably comes down to the good underlayment and the thickness of the boards.
Maybe I’ll do a post on how I’ve got my office set up once it’s ready to go, and then I’ll add a bunch of words like “GTD” and “productivity” and “maximum efficiency” and “lifehack” in order to get all of the “I need to be productive, so I’ll read the tubes all day to learn about productivity rather than actually working” traffic. If what I just said makes no sense to you, then be thankful. You probably get stuff done.
Grace & Peace,
