greenstormThis weather is unreal awesome. It never got light out today, it just looked like predawn-- all day. It never dried out, the air was soggy and warm and the scents were trowelled onto it. I know I say this every two weeks, but it's spring.
I'm almost done working at my first installation. Walls are done, paving is almost done, we just need to do the detailing (should take just under a week). It looks awesome. I will show you pictures. After that we get labourers for me to order around (w00t!).
Just when I thought I was as strong as I get we started paving, by the way. While a big chunk of rock weighs a fair amount, there's something about precisely maneuvering a 2x2 concrete square that puts me right back to square one. I need to climb some just so my back can support the muscle I'm gonna be putting on my arms. This is getting ridiculous.
I've been advised to read and/or watch High Fidelity.
I'm going to take over Angus' place when he moves at the end of the month. The roommate comes with the place for a month or two till he finds his own space, which enables me to spend money to 1) get furnishings for my home or 2) spend all my money on plants for the patio until I can walk out there naked, surrounded by fruit trees and clematis. I'm betting a little more of 2 will be happening than 1. I'm also gonna put a greenhouse on the deck. Exciting! (!!!!!!!!!!)
I go to measure things today.
I am happy. Yesterday I ended up with a panic attack(?) at the end of work and spilling over into evening, which sucked. I always come down hard when I go up, and the night before I was definitely up. This part of my cycle always leaves me a little funny in the head anyhow.
Ahwell. Looking so forward to moving. This means I can get my stuff over there sooner rather than later! Time to start buying trunks to pack into.

Date: 2008-04-17 04:33 pm (UTC)I also vote for number 2 - because it is important to start your plants collection, and because then you have time to decide how the inside space flows for you (that's my excuse for not doing anthing inside since I moved :)
End of the month - does that mean mid-week, or the weekend of the Vandusen show?
Potentially have a blue metal trunk that I need to find a new home for - thought I need to empty and redistribute first I can do that quicker if you need it for the move....final question - water source for the balcony? I still have the coiled hose you 'loaned' me and cannot adapt it to my current kitchen faucet - you need it?
Let me know about the dates...

It means whenever I feel like it and can get the movers-- it's too late to get them for the first, and I can just move the stuff anytime really. I already have a key, and there's room for my stuff in the kitchen (everything I own can fit in the kitchen without unduly cluttering it). I'm thinking the Friday evening before the VanDusen show. What I could use more than moving help is help hauling my new plants to the new place after the show. ;)
I would love both the blue trunk and the coiled hose.

Will see if the blue trunk can fit into the car, and it could potentially be used to transport plants from Vandusen to the apartment(?) Hose will come with. Do you have space for one of the lounge chairs (what you slept on) on your deck? I don't see us getting much use out of two, but would like to keep one and put it under the apple tree...
I can only help you move plants if we don't buy too many things to fit into the car - otherwise my stuff has priority ;)
