...and look at those vacuum triangles. carpet porn... am I right?

Decided to push hard today. Got stuck in a little traffic but was still relatively speedy.

Peter Weller talks coffee: Also, he wrote his first book on a book on Italian painting from before 1435: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/leon-battista-alberti-in-exile/CA506C81F7296D3DB63B1EDC7A136E9E

And I like that I could hide my Judy Garland, Babs and Patty LuPone albums in those acoustic ceiling panels!

Casing installed. Next weekend will be the doors.

Mmm...shoegazey...

Room porn, really.

Primus is so fun and funky....but alas, I cannot hear a single song by them without trying to fit the South Park lyrics into the melody 🤣

Good news. The Contractor removed and reinstalled my jambs pretty well. He managed to remove the door stops without marring them. Then again hid the fasteners behind them. The only issues are small ones. The top jamb has a small dip in the center and the right jamb also has a small dip in the center. I can easily pry those jambs out a bit and shim those dips out. The other small mistake is the left jamb. It's attached a bit proud of the sheet rock. Maybe a strong 1/16". Again, I can easily shim the left jamb from the wall, and use caulk to fill the small void. Overall I'm pleased with what could have been a shitty job, out of plumb and full of nail holes. Kudos to the Contractor. He'll live to remodel again. The floor at the opening is 1/4" out of level in that 40". That's kind of a lot, but entirely not their fault, and not that noticeable. I'll cut the doors angled 1/4" to follow the floor, which you'll never really notice and will give me a consistent 1/4" gap at the bottom of the doors.

Damn Steve... Well 100 dollars for a thumb is pretty good deal if you ask me.

But in all fairness this could have been much worse. A totally freak accident. I was running stock through the saw when all of a sudden the toe of my shoe got caught up in the expansion joint of the concrete floor and caused me to trip forward, pushing my thumb straight into the blade. I probably couldn't cause that to happen again if I tried. But $100 or whatever a cartridge costs is totally worth it. I've been here before. No Dr. visit today, just a Band-Aid. It's a little deeper than it looks, and it bled a lot before cleaning it up, but I'm very happy to have a thumb.

A last taste of England. "I'm sorry we're out of clotted cream" England, eh.

This is what I would call - While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

After watching this: I thought I might try to make my latte look like something. I have never really cared in the past. After a two failed attempts during the week, I didn't have my foam right. Today I made a thing. Not great - but still drinkable... that's all...

SawStop safety mechanism not quite as advertised, but still worth it. The tiny little nicks you see in advertisements might not be totally accurate.
