I'm not exactly what you'd call an interior designer fashionista.. but I did put up drapes that look better than the black cutouts I had in the windows. I just need to put boxes on these shelves that have "fixed" lids. Which I have plenty of.

Otherwise the lids lean back and push on the curtain.. and make them look weird. But fixed lid boxes that are just straight vertical, won't push on curtain..

Oh, and now that I see they fit and will work, I need to wash them and get the folds out of the fabric. Martha Stewart take notice!

Hey, how about a "look-see" video ? Put it out on YouTube and post up a link.
Just sayin'

Very cool !

Yeah, I'll do that when it's finished, finished. Putting up another row of shelving all the way around, and then doing the center island still. More stuff to do yet.

Almost there.

Was my daughter's 8th grade "graduation" yesterday. The whole deal is a bit absurd, but holy hell it made me feel old One of my college coaches was the keynote, which was kind of funny. View attachment 20908

As this year comes to a close, I've been looking back through this thread. So, is she a senior now this year?!?

I’m looking forward to 2024. It will be prosperous, stressful, exciting and scary all at the same time. I like change as much as it isn’t always fun. 2024 will be that way.

I spent the 24th -29th with my oldest offspring. Not only did I get to spend Christmas with him, but his Birthday the 28th as well. It's been well over 2 decades since that was able to happen at a home setting. Yes... very very happy to have gotten this time with him. We smoked a few cigars and enjoyed just chilling and grilling.

Michael, I’m glad ya got to have this time together. Much needed, I’m sure. I hope there are many more of these in the future. Enjoy the day.

I just applied to a RN to BSN program. If I get selected, then I go back to school in the fall of 2024. #PerpetualStudentLife.

There's skiing in Virginia?

 

[cabaiguan juan]

There's skiing in Virginia?

Yeah, apparently.

 

[jfields]

There's skiing in Virginia?

Yeah, and we even have mountains with slopes on them.

 

[cabaiguan juan]

Yeah, and we even have mountains with slopes on them.

Eh, I feel that the term Mountains is a bit misleading. I’d go with Hills, myself.

They ain't no El Captain, but they call them the Blue Ridge Mountains for a reason.

Is this… subtle marketing?!?
