incremental progress

The latches finally showed up, & they worked even better than I'd hoped. LOOK at that. & it holds the shutter closed without the slightest wiggle. I am VERY pleased.

So this window is done! It's not, really, I still need to add the decorative painting bits & make the frame for the lucite & clearcoat basically everything BUT. It opens, & more importantly, it closes. & it looks AWESOME! I'll take it.



I also got a LOT of work done on the soap shelves! Check it out: two uprights holding two shelves. (I've got the rest of the shelves done too, but I only needed to put two of em in place for proof of concept.)



I hauled them all inside to paint them -- it's monsoon season, so having indoor projects is an EXCELLENT idea -- & used the last fence post on the floor. I like how it's gonna look!



It's also gonna take forEVer! Yay! *really dramatic flop*

That is fantastic work!

Soap shelves? For what purpose? Do you make your own soap?

I wanna be you when I grow up.

Thank you!

Soap: Yes, I do make my own, & technoshaman will vouch for the quality of it!

Basically I need more storage space for backstock soap, so I decided to build shelves that are the precise right size for the boxes I use. & will, also, be pretty colours.

As for being me, I'd give the scoliosis & crappy eyesight a miss, but there are definite advantages, too.

Oooh, I so wish it was monsooning down here! We had a day of rain last week, the observatory measured an inch, not so much here at home, only a 20 minute drive away.

Very purty, kiddo!

We've had ridiculous winds all weekend, it's going down below freezing tonight, & the air is full of burnt Arizona. A little more monsoon would be VERY nice.

Wow, really good progress! When you say "decorative painting" do you mean designs and stuff?

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yessss! I'm looking at adding some La Tene style stuff.

[corvi]

Oh man that will be awesome, I can't wait to see it.

Woohoo!

It appears that the hinges for the window shutters are on the top, which is fine. But it makes me curious if you plan to have a way to keep them open without gravity slways stopping by to say hello. Or if you already have such a way and I just haven't noticed it yet.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Not yet, but I have Theories!

I figure the shutters will work nicely as awnings, once I figure out a way to prop them open.
