Spare room complete

We finished the flooring yesterday. Looks pretty good but there were some minor issues. The hallway flooring was slightly offline and when we continued it into the spare room the offline pieces became apparent when the final pieces on the outside wall were laid down. It all came out ok because the baseboard trim hides the edges.








I got the baseboard down today and started moving the furniture back in. It's hard to tell the wall color in this picture, but it is a light blue. We also decided on the window shade and will replace some outlets and covers tomorrow. The rest of the furniture will also go back in tomorrow as well, even if I don't put up the shelves for a bit.

A little insight cartoon

I found this cartoon on one of the blogs I read daily.

Back when I was about 12-13 I was really into the mythology stuff, Norse, Roman and Greek gods mostly. I was also finishing up my Lutheran catechism training for communion and I started to question the validity of all religious thought. So this little cartoon pretty much sums up my thoughts and conclusions from those days. I stopped the church stuff as soon as my first communion was done and everything I've read, seen, experienced and thought about has justified my original conclusion.

MTTS 2010 SF

Made it to the MTTS event and had a pretty good time. MINI provided the cars for the autocross (they called it a MINIcross) so my tires were spared the wear and tear. The autocross was fun but since they only allowed two laps, it wasn't long enough.









The new Countryman was there for a short time. The color wouldn't be my choice, but the car looks pretty sweet. It's growing on me to the point where I'm encouraged by the direction of MINI.











The party for the Countryman preview was on Treasure Island. A great place to hold the event for MINI. Great view of the city and with all the food and drinks it was worth it to go. The same Countryman was there so nothing new, but did see the Mayfair MINI so did see something new. Also got to see the MINIUSA president and he signed a card for me. Maybe I'm too much of a fanboy.

Spare room continues

I've completed the prep work for the spare room and will paint today. We've picked a very light blue color and I should finish the painting today and start the floor tomorrow.


The floor had lots of glue for the tile still left and I tried to strip it off. Mostly my effort seemed to just spread it around a bit but it's less sticky now than before so at least I did that. I also put down some cement sealant to help with the flooring.
