Nothing like it.

(That beer after a hard day's work I mean.). Happy New Year everyone!

Waiting for the go-ahead.

Believe it or not, we're at the ages now where they need to be woken up on Christmas.

Dueling Desks - Updated

Erin has had these on her wish list for a while, but they're finally done!

Both desks are bookmatched cherry that was cut down two years ago.  The main part of the tree was used to make the shelf behind the couch.  Leftovers made Marlee's bed and now these desks.  My old phone with a scratched-up lens does not do the grain justice, but the grain in the crotches is amazing.

The request was for a clean, simple desk.  The natural edge was left on the front of the desk as well as the keyboard tray and the computer shelf.  Nothing is supported from the floor.  The 23" LCD monitors go on the wall, but I'm missing a right angle HDMI connector to make it work.  (Who would make a super thin monitor with the connectors coming straight out the back instead of down?)

PS-Post updated because for some reason the email option is deleting all of my text between photos.  Uhg.

Homework desks

Remember the cherry tree we harvested 2 years ago? Well, there was the shelf in the living room and now there are bookmatched homework desks. A couple more coats to spray and we can install. New monitors showed up today. Should be good to go for homework over the holidays!

Ice Storm Yesterday

Lost power sometime during Sunday night. Had a heck of a time finding a path out of our neighborhood to get to work. But ice is always cool looking:
