    The problem with software eating the world is that it's a lot more difficult for users to patch bad design with a bit of duct tape.

    My wife is such a catch y'all.

    Screenshot of a text conversation between myself and @kjrichards. Me: "If we hopped in a DeLorean right now and traveled as far back in time as Marty McFly, do you know where we would end up?" Her: "Probably March"

    (And, to be sure, the reason the project has lasted this long is because there were many, many days in the past year I did not or could not complete any of the tasks. The difference is that now they're actually *done*)

    This is the first day in more than a *year* that I have zero tasks to complete in my basement remodel. It's absolutely incredible! I'll have plenty again after next week when our drywall is done-done, but for now I will enjoy this respite.

    And with that, my sprawling, ever-growing fractal list of pre-drywall tasks is officially finished! Good thing, too, since the rest of the basement is fully hung and mudded already!

    And now, the bathroom is covered in drywall too!

    Before 10am today I had already: ✅ set a shower drain ✅ made a bed of mortar cement ✅ set and leveled a shower base ✅ set the shower walls

    A bed of mortar cement spread on a concrete floor to a depth of approximately 2 inches

    We’re renovating our basement just so ’s toaster can live close to his office. Yeah, there’s some other stuff down there too but mainly it’s the toaster

    I need this beautiful art in my life. In my home, near my most beloved appliance: the toaster. Or in my office, so it can be in all my calls and videos. That's good, too

    Here's a time-lapse of me installing that sheet. At the 6 second mark the camera moves closer. Why? Because it was on the same stand that held ALL my staples, and I ran out as soon as I pinned the 28lb sheet to the wall. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Tonight I made one final push to get my soundproofing layer installed so that drywall can go up in our common room/future theater. Here's the very last big piece I had to install, 4ft x 7ft, clocking in at 28 pounds.

    Hand pointing at 4 foot by 7 foot sheet of mass loaded vinyl laying on the floor
    Hand pointing at a future closet wall, with a 4 foot by 7 foot gap awaiting the mass loaded vinyl
    Same wall as before, now fully covered in mass loaded vinyl
