Things are happening! In the "garden," the radishes are going like gangbusters and there's even a couple of beets starting to make an appearance.
I did the responsible thing and put up a clothesline. It's kinda rigged, but it works. The dryer is just such an energy suck and waste of resources, so I thought I'd use the clothesline occasionally to help out.
I'm rearranging the house a bit to make ourselves an official office/studio space. I put up some of dad's planes and man, it's weird going in there because they really look like they're flying! I've got a small design wall up (that's an apple hat for young Connor L. on there, ready to assemble), and my studio table/sewing table is installed and ready for use. I just need to re-route the cable for my work computer and everything will be finished. There'll even be room for a sleeper in case we have more guests than the spare bedroom can hold.
The SO has started an interesting project, too. Being a Texas Hold 'em fan, he's commandeered the dining room table for a poker table. It's a good alternate use for the dining room, because it's kind of out of the way, but close to the kitchen for easy snack access. The table is a large oval, which is perfect for poker. He's making a removable rail and top for the table, which can easily be put on and taken off, whilst leaving the table unscathed and ready for dinner. Here's the table with the "speed cloth" laid out.
The speed cloth is specifically designed for cards to easily slide over the surface. It has a woven-in card suit pattern on it, and it's a beautiful shade of blue.
A 4' x 8' sheet of particle board was procured and the shape of the table traced on to it. It was then cut out with a jigsaw. The center will be cut out, leaving a 4" wide "rail."
Here's where he is so far. Will follow up with more photos as it progresses!
