the space beside the TRW building at the Foothills Campus. I got to walk around the long way, because the Health Sciences building was closed due to a water main break.

we installed a new subfloor in a kitchen this afternoon, before hanging a set of new cupboards. it’s going to look fantastic when it’s all done. then, I went home to my old, cheap kitchen…

we started installing the central vac system at the Renovation House, wrapping the plastic pipes in insulation because we had to route them through the attic.

The storm sewer grates in our neighbourhood have been painted with reminders not to pour stuff down the drains. Hopefully, everyone will remember to run a block downhill to check if they’re allowed to dump toxic chemicals in front of their house.

But where ELSE are we supposed to dump our fish?

I took the bike apart to give it a good scrub this afternoon, to make sure the last of the winter grit is gone so it doesn’t wear components down prematurely. Winter grit is evil to bikes. Evil.

2010/04/17: Break a rule today! Centered composition is generally considered boring and taboo, but can be interesting. Try it! #ds153

an old micro ampmeter I rescued from the garbage. I’m not sure why – there’s something awesome about the wooden box, the clasp, the old knobs and dials. It’s apparently from 1966, and has been well used, but looks like it would work if given a little love.

2010/03/18: Find something that’s so old it’s almost timeless and make a photograph of it. #ds123
