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,
Dan J.
Happy Birthday to Me
Peanut Says Hi
So tomorrow (10/5, if you’re keeping track) is my 30th birthday, and Anna got me a pretty special present–a new office with new flooring. Actually, it’s her old office, but it’s larger than the one I’ve been using and it has some nice natural light. I’ve basically been working in a small cave for the last four years. Anna spent last week repainting the entire room in a nice shade of blue. (I think it’s called “Misty Surf.”) We spent today trying to put in new flooring. Click through the break for pictures.

Windsor Place: The Backyard
Now that I’m done with seminary, Anna expects me to help her make progress on our project list for Windsor Place. That’s fine in principle, but in practice, it means that she wants me to dig out our irrigation trench and move our shed across the yard. I’ve dropped in some pictures below, including a panorama shot of our backyard.
