Just four pictures today, on account of I had seen most of the good cosplayers before and I was selling books. More details tomorrow, but not until after I get home from my first day at my new job!
And also assuming that I am not dead.
Which is not impossible to imagine.
Hooooooly crap were there a lot of people out there today. Yesterday was not a great day for sales– not a wipeout, but not good at all. Today more than made up for that.
You are roomy, and nicely located, and I like you.
She has poor nest-location skills. This is a bad decision.
…I just saw this picture from my brother’s wedding last weekend and I’m quite fond of it:
The view from the doorway. Still some cleaning and straightening to do, obviously, and the books need to go back on the shelves, but:
There is a cat in this picture, by the way:
So that’s that, for now. There was some fun with archaeology the way there always is when you do any kind of renovation in an old house, as the little nook in the back appears to have had some built-in architecture removed at some point– there were tack strips nailed down across the middle of the floor and some weird traces of paint and one bit of wall with missing baseboards. The floor is otherwise undamaged, though, and as you can see it looks great.
Oh, and we just pulled up a corner of the carpet in our perfect rectangle dining room to reveal ordinary subflooring underneath, and I said the words “This would be the easiest hardwood flooring job ever, if we wanted to try it.” I don’t know why I said those words.
But this is the last piece.
I’m over halfway done, I’d say– there is no carpet under or behind the bed, which is a king-size and by far the most unwieldy piece of furniture in the room. Should be able to finish the job tomorrow.
Now I get to go to OtherJob from five to eleven. Whee!
