Organizing My Camera Equipment

January 25th, 2009 · Comments Off · General

In the nearly two years since I purchased my DSLR, I have accumulated quite a bit of stuff – lenses, flash, bag, cleaning supplies, etc.  My current organization “technique” has been to keep some of this stuff in my LowePro Slingshot 200, others in another bag, and the remainder on my desk or in a [...]

Toy box

September 14th, 2008 · 7 Comments · General

A couple weeks ago I used Google SketchUp to layout what I wanted to do for the toy box I wanted to make for David.  Saturday morning we made a quick trip to Lowes to purchase materials and decided to give it a shot.

July 23rd, 2008 · 6 Comments · General

Tonight I pretty much finished the storage box for the garden I mentioned earlier this week.  I’ve been able to work on it for a couple of hours every night this week after David has gone to bed, so quite a bit of progress was made.  All that’s left is to find a suitable latch [...]

Busy Saturday

June 28th, 2008 · Comments Off · General

Today turned out to be a pretty busy day.  I made a quick trip to Lowes to get a pair of 12′ pieces of crown molding to finally finish off David’s room.  It has taken entirely too long to get it completed, but I can’t exactly be in there with a nailgun while he’s sleeping.

Another Project

January 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment · General

Here’s this weekend’s project, the white thing above the window…  more photos available.

I also put Ana’s shelves up, but we decided to put them in the office to match the new window feature.
