At least trying to be productive. Least now with the entire CD collection finally has a proper and nicely arranged home. Whew. Yes, you got that right, I did also completely redo the fireplace while I was at it. For comparison’s sake, have a gander at the original version. ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/782/feed 1 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566#comments Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:54:08 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=566
The floor had been about 90% done except for the last four feet stretch to the wall where the CDs were shelved, because we have too many goddamn CDs and moving them is always a hassle at least and a nightmare at worst. But if I was starting to get antsy about the incompleteness — [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566/feed 2 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/279 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/279#comments Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:38:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2008/03/hummmm/
I need a progress meter for House Deconstruction, since I built (and unbuilt, and rebuilt, because I are teh suck sometimes) the first set of shelves for the kitchen/dining room wall. Okay, it took me about two hours to carefully sketch, erase, and resketch until satisfied and then I built the shelves. Hell, I even [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/279/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/246 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/246#comments Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:22:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/12/lizard-in-me-kitchen/
It took most of yesterday and a lot of last night and too much of today, but the cooking wall, sink area, and counter-splash are all tiled and currently being sealed prior to grouting. I have enough adhesive, grout, and ceramic foyer tiles (a ceramic version of the rich-colored slate CP requested for the bathroom, [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/246/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/245 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/245#comments Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:53:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/12/if-i-had-a-day-job-i-wouldnt-be-quitting-it/
poured first layer of concrete last night, and had enough left to complete the kitchen floor, and do half the foyer. countertop is looking closer to done, and my entire body aches. even using drill-attachment mixer to make that part faster, the rest — pouring and spreading concrete — is hard on the body. ow, ow, [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/245/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/243 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/243#comments Thu, 29 Nov 2007 06:35:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/11/have-sink-will-uhm-make-tea/
Not quite yet, though. New sink arrived, which meant the sit-around-being-lazy time was over, and I spent yesterday and today being all productive. Half the countertop is in (must go to lumberyard tomorrow for more plywood, grrr, I go through that stuff fast), and the sink cutout is complete along with the support for the [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/243/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/240 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/240#comments Sun, 11 Nov 2007 07:49:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/11/ewwwwww-stupid/
Okay. I’m sure I can think of grosser stupider moments, but not at this exact second. Two, three weeks ago, I had to refresh our stock o’ virgin olive oil. Turns out the bottle had a crack, so by the time I got home, the plastic bag had a thin ooze of oil. Great. I [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/240/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/232 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/232#comments Sat, 26 May 2007 19:54:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/05/oh-the-house-its-so-painful/
This entire post is mostly to organize my thoughts, make something I can come back to, refresh my memory so I don’t forget — again. That book I got in college from a friend should’ve had a theme not of, “oh, the places you’ll go,” but “the places you’ll redo.” Things left undone, by room. entry-way [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/232/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/230 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/230#comments Fri, 11 May 2007 19:46:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/05/yes-it-was-carpal-tunnel-pix/
Turns out you can get it from a lot of things, and, if you’re me, you can get compound carpal tunnel — throughout wrists, fingers, up the arm and the elbow and some in the shoulders. Cripes. But I explained everything I’d managed to do in the course of screwing up muscles/joints so thoroughly, and [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/230/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/175 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/175#comments Mon, 02 Apr 2007 02:00:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2007/04/fables-of-the-reconstruction-err-renovation/
I may not be able to do math in my head, but I still enjoy doing it — there’s something satisfying about writing out the calculations, however inconsequential, and seeing numbers add up just so. It feels like organizing the world…assuming I’m doing it right, that is. Right now, I’m at about 3/4ths of teh [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/175/feed 0
