Several years ago, I used to do a “Five Fabulous Finds” blog post at the end of every month. I shared a list of five things that I encountered during the month that I found to be fun, useful, interesting, or perhaps just odd. Every now and then, some of the things may have even been fabulous, but I used the word fabulous more for its alliterative quality rather than its descriptive one. I am going to revive these posts beginning today,…
October’s photos…better late than never. A real look at real life.
And on Day 7, This Space has a two foot concrete wall. The city inspector has nothing on these two. They have sniffed every inch, inside and out, and agree that This Space passes inspection. As I said in my last post, the concrete is the end of phase one. Unfortunately, the latest information we have says that it will be approximately four weeks before we move into phase two. The delay is due to the weather issues earlier in…
Today was concrete day. I know. Concrete doesn’t make for very interesting photos, but it makes for excitement as far as the project goes because this marks the end of phase one! Yep. Phase one is a wrap. According to the city as well! We are not sure exactly when phase two will begin so you may get a break from looking at wood and concrete pictures! I promise things will get a little more interesting soon!Watch WatcUntil then, here’s…
We are a week into this project and progress has been steady. Today was the slowest day in terms of change but that’s all good. We had to wait on inspectors before anything else can happen and it rained, which would have stopped progress anyway. The inspectors came and were impressed with the caliber of work that the crew is doing. That was good news! We are clear to move on to the next phase tomorrow! And no rain in…
Since I am at school during the day when most of the work is happening here, I have almost the same experience each day as those of you following along here. I leave in the morning with a picture of what things looked like and come home to a whole new world. Thank you to those of you who are following along! I love reading the comments about what might be happening in this space I’m afraid that some of…
While I was in Minneapolis over the weekend playing in the snow, work on this space continued here at home. Thanks to my hubby who took Friday’s photos. Work continues tomorrow…
There is not a whole lot to see today though a lot of work was done. With most things, the important work is done at the beginning; it’s these steps that will make or break a project yet when all is said and done, no one even knows they happened…unless you are watching this space day by day. These poor guys spent much of the day breaking, digging up, and hauling rocks. No fun! Theyperservered and in the end triumphed….
I woke up this morning with a miserable headache, the kind that makes you nauseous and dizzy and feel pretty much like death warmed over. I actually stayed home from school today, something I rarely do. The only good thing about all of that is that I was at home for the beginning of a new project, one that has been in the works for awhile, but, for reasons beyond our control, has taken longer than expected to get off…
Despite having and annual pass to the Dallas Arboretum, we haven’t been in almost a year. We have the discussion that says, “You know, we should go to The Arboretum.” “Yeah, we should.” And that’s the end of it. We allow other things to come first, to push this out of the way. I’m not even sure I know why that happens; it just does. I was determined to go this fall. Fall is my favorite time of year and…
