Samhain Christmas Moon
A wire had slipped loose from one of my ethernet connections to the house. David and Ian fixed that, then, using a five position switch lit up all the ports in the loft. The desktop and the TV have hardwired connections rather than the fickle wi-fi. Much better.
That’s one project finished. Solid internet link, no more fussing about it.
While Dave and Ian worked, I continued the last stages of unpacking. Yesterday I put art supplies in the cabinets of the big work table. It still awaits a top that Jon is making from oak floorboards of recycled semi-trailers. With a year almost gone, the final shape of the loft is very close to realization: bookshelves, work out area, writing and research spot with computer, a chair for reading positioned on a large rug and overlooking Black Mountain, a small fridge and a large counter space for teaware and coffee presses, art positioned and hung.
The books, though in very large categories, still have to be organized within those categories, e.g. mythology and folklore and ancient history, Lake Superior and Minnesota, art, poetry, religion, travel, Colorado, Civil War, various literatures of the world.
A lot of work up here over the last year, close to the finish.
I suspect that your internet problems were largely due to the mischief of an unemployed Etherbunny.
