Jewelry cabinet , originally uploaded by TextualDeviance . This is one of about... oh... two dozen wall hangings of various sorts that were assembled and hung yesterday, which included some of my action figures (decided to store some of them, though.) The whole project took almost all day--a lot longer than I thought it would. More to finish today, and soon the walls won't look so...
M took these shortly before the housewarming. There's still a fair amount to be done. The theater still needs some lighting and wiring work, we still need a couple of pieces of furniture, both offices still need proper arranging (and more furniture, when we can afford it again), and we have a lot of wall art and stuff to hang, but it's certainly liveable. I'll prolly take another batch of ...

Except to say congrats to textualdeviance on your new house - it looks fantastic!!!!

Now that we're starting to get serious about our house hunting, I'm trying to narrow down where we should be looking. As an addendum to the last poll on this subject, I have one more. Seattle proper, of course, is still out of the question for us unless some sort ofmiracle happened and an incredibly cheap house in Madrona or something suddenly showed up on the market. In other words, not ...
Now that we have a pending offer, I figured I'd take a few moments to think about all the time we spent in Chez Fou, and the big events in our lives in the nine years we were there. I haven't had a lot of direct emotional attachment to the house itself, but the time we spent there definitely was eventful. In addition to the big stuff--9/11, market crashes, Katrina, two wars, three presidential ...
