Loose Ends
It’s especially nice to actually accomplish something on a day off.
- I have a really nice large format Epson printer that didn’t have a place to live in the new office. Actually, I had a plan for it, but I just hadn’t gotten around to implementing it. At some point in time, it dawned on me that the printer—beast that it is—would actually fit in the server cabinet if I turned it end-ways, and since I had a spare set of sliding rails, all I needed to do was build a shelf to put between the rails. This morning, David and I finally built the shelf. Now, the printer no longer has to sit in the living room waiting for a place to live.
- Shelves are the new black. Every wall in my office now has a shelf or shelves. The newest of the bunch are the shelves I installed this afternoon over the worktable.
- This morning David and I also put some framing on the back of a piece of pegboard to hang over the work table. As you can see, I’ve wasted no time adorning it with stuff. Stuff rocks. The pegboard actually has a finished white side, but I chose to use the back as the front since the brown will play off the paper on the opposite wall. It looks pretty slick if I say so myself.
I need to pull the server cabinet out and redo some of the wiring inside the cabinet. I also need to think about putting some fans in there to get the air moving through there a bit better. That won’t be as big an issue as winter gets here (I prefer the cold, so my thermostat tends to stay pretty low) which will help for the time being.
That’s a few more loose ends tied up. The office is functionally finished. I still need to put in new finish molding, but I’ll wait until after I redo the carpeting. Hopefully that will happen in February or March. Hope, hope.
Now, there’s no more excuses… if nothing comes up next weekend I’ll finally put the stained glass supplies I bought a couple months ago to use for the first time.
