Schematics!

People,

Ideas are percolating inside my head!

If dreams become a reality (fun fact: this magical transformation, dreams --> reality, is one of my favorite pastimes), things are going to get a little crafty in my teenie abode. I have a slight aversion to my windows being 4' off the floor in my new place. After a couple mildly pained anxiety events about my ill-positioned panes, I started resigning myself to this fact and started to accept their vertical challenge.

However, my dreams were stirred tonight into drawings and possibilities (the interim stage before action and reality; not quite to the action stage yet...naturally), as a good friend of mine helped me realize  that my remedy to this affliction isn't necessarily merely time to accept it, but perhaps a little bit of action and a circular saw.

So, with a little hubris, lumber, graph paper, and the wits of my friend, I may just build the one and only indoor deck at 811. It's such a good feeling knowing I have creative, can-do friends that see a need and meet the need with their time and talent. Sometimes it takes someone else's encouragement and enthusiasm to spur you on to greater things.

Raise the roof--er, floor-- for friends!



P.S. my phone's auto correct for "mpls" is "mold." Fascinating.
