Not at all. I don't feel like taking photos. I don't feel like picking photos, uploading photos, labeling photos, and linking photos to my blog posts. I don't feel like blah blah blah detailing every little obsessive boring detail. What's the matter with you people? Why do you read this crap? I don't even want to write it! Get a life! 1216@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ Blog 2007-02-23T11:46:32-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001240.html I had a very short list of stuff to do before the drywall in the kitchen gets done. But after I got back from vacation, I couldn’t really get motivated to do any of it. I really just wanted to... 1240@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ 1st Floor 2007-02-23T09:50:46-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001217.html Right now, I’m on a plane to Thailand. My house is far, far away. Slowly but surely, everything I need to do when I get back is slowly fading away. But I’m still trying to shake that nagging worry that... 1217@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ 2007-01-13T14:10:23-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001214.html The story so far: Vicki’s been traveling southeast asia for almost 4 months now. I wanted to have the kitchen finished by the time she got back to surprise her. Work at my new job has been very busy.

Or I should say, I did the drain all in one night. It took maybe 6 hours. I was up till 2 in the morning working on... 1213@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ Kitchen 2007-01-04T17:00:30-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001212.html Less than two weeks left. Before this weekend it was really looking like everything was going to be done ahead of schedule. But now a couple thing have gone wrong and I’m really stressed. On top of that, my house... 1212@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ 2007-01-02T11:40:16-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001210.html Okay, I just spent hours finally writing descriptions for all the photos I uploaded a long time ago on Flickr. There are some pretty big gaps on my blog. If it weren’t for these photos, I would have forgotten... 1210@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ Blog 2006-12-15T02:07:41-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001206.html Last night I pulled down the rest of the drop ceiling in the Living room. Tonight, hopefully I can build the chase around the waste pipe that runs through the kitchen. Friday is my office holiday party. And then Saturday... 1206@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ 1st Floor 2006-12-14T09:40:10-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001207.html Let's back up and look at last weekend. Last weekend I pretty much only got one thing done all weekend. But it was a big thing. I installed the vent for the range hood.

In fact, I kinda got done what I thought I might have accomplished last weekend. But whatever. I can feel real progress being made and I'm feeling a lot better... 1208@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ 1st Floor 2006-12-10T22:20:53-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001205.html I just don't know where to start. There are so many things I haven't written about here that have happened. When I start to think of one thing to write it reminds me of another thing I haven't. And another. And another. And another. Until I have to sit down from the motion sickness. Because I type everything standing up. If you really knew me, you'd know that. 1205@http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/ Blog 2006-12-08T08:40:39-05:00 http://www.anarchymonkey.com/alexroper/renovation/archives/001202.html While flipping around TV the other day I caught this band "The Fray" red-handed! Here's a shot from their music video where you can plainly see my photo mural in the background.
