After the last few years of having -and loving- our stock tank pool, I realized it was time to upgrade our pool cover to something a little more secure than the soft covers we'd been replacing year-after-year. With two precocious toddlers, a hard cover became a lot more important as well, but I also wanted something that the older kids could manage on their own. So, I did a lot of Pinterest pinning, shopping around, and eventually landed on a cover that combines cedar planks with yoga mats to make a lightweight cover that won't sink.

Well, I'm back! As I occasionally do, I disappeared a bit after finishing the last project. Really, I had done three fairly sizable projects back-to-back-to-back. So, it was time for a little break. The kids have started summer, and chaos is up at home! I really have to get cracking on the library. When I was working on the office conversion, I took out half a wall, knowing it would open the library up for some expansion. The tricky part now is doing the expansion with the items we have chaotically stored here. The library made the perfect chaos space for getting the bedrooms and laundry area done, but now something needs to change to make this a functional space again. The good news is I’ll be able to move one wall closer to the air handler, since it needs less clearance than the furnace required. It also means I’m moving the access around to make it more convenient to service the air handler when it is needed.  |
