Attic brackets, tile and cabinetry

March 31, 2011 – UTC

We went to Seattle today for some errands and for me to go install the gas springs on the garage trapdoor. Mark from Twisted Metalworks happened to be there installing the brackets in the attic for the moving wall that they’re going to build. They had made the brackets that were installed in the ceiling [...]

March 31, 2011 – UTC

Havana got into the preschool we wanted her to go to. We were on the waiting list, but everyone had already paid for next year so we weren’t hopeful that she’d get in. But we found out today that someone changed their mind so Havana is in!

Trying out colors and furniture and a preschool

March 28, 2011 – UTC

We took Havana and Eva on the 9:40a ferry while Hudson was at school. We were taking Havana to a preschool we’re trying to get her into in the Fall. We stopped at the house to test some paint colors and wallpaper options we like. Then we went to U Village to look at a [...]

March 25, 2011 – UTC

The New York Times’ 36 Hours In Seattle is centered mostly on Capitol Hill and the up and coming South Lake Union area, which is right next to Capitol Hill. It includes Volunteer Park Cafe, which is just a couple blocks from our house in “one of Seattle’s oldest and prettiest neighborhoods.” This reminds me, [...]

Furniture & Fabrics, Round 2

March 24, 2011 – UTC

Gay met with the interior designers for round 2 of their plans. After the first round, we felt we were pretty far away from something we liked. But this one is much closer. We still need to find out how much some of the things cost before committing to them and we need to convince [...]

Gay’s Birthday Out

March 23, 2011 – UTC

Kelly could work late to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner for Gay’s birthday. We left at 1pm, went to the house to check on progress and then to Roche-Bobois downtown to look at a sectional that the designers suggested. We checked out a couple other furniture stores near there and [...]

Happy Birthday, Gay

March 22, 2011 – UTC

Gay turned 41 today. It’s the first time since 2008 that we celebrated her birthday at home. I made dinner tonight and we’re going out to dinner tomorrow night. She’s more wise, more fun and more beautiful than the day I met her. I met her just before she turned 27. She was successful and [...]

From the annals of bad customer service: Pioneer Millworks

March 14, 2011 – UTC

We’re putting reclaimed wood on a wall of cabinetry and on our office doors. Schuchart/Dow used Pioneer Millworks to order the wood a few weeks ago. Last week, we decided to not use it on the office doors because it’s too difficult to assemble doors out of it and mount it to track system — [...]
