Fixing the drafting table…

As you might have guess… Tim was out today and we got a whole bunch of things done! (I did help, really….. )

He hung another set of shutters, and screwed these two big desks we have together… (they were not quite level enough to push back to back and there was always a gap and stuff fell down as we were working!) and he hung a coat rack and made my bed book shelf ledge and painted the door and nailed in the little wind break in the front door…. stuff like that.

But one of my favorite things he did was to lower my old drafting table a bit for me!!!

Someone tried to do it before and they sure mangled the job…..

That someone really had no clue how to use a jigsaw…. and well, that was probably one of the worse things you could have used anyway… the legs were all lopsidely cut and then to top it off… the table was too low for a drafting table chair and too high for a regular desk chair….

Okay… yeah it was me.

I did it. I messed it up. Oh about a year ago or so.

And it bummed me out a WHOLE lot… because I love that old table… I got it at a yard sale and it’s OLD and OAK and heavy and big and lovely…. it’s a great space. But being a slightly weird height now was really messing with me. I even went and bought this little weird, doesn’t match my room, student desk of black laminate and steel tube legs, etc., and well, it was just tooo small a workspace for a work at home gal.

Maybe okay for like someone to check their email once in a while or balance their Quicken account? I dunno….

So I moved all the junk around and Tim got to cutting and fixing and viola! Problem solved!

And I am happily writing my new posts and working on a client website from the NEW Westvon World Headquarters!!!

You probably thought the world headquarters would be a little more bigger, eh? Well…. maybe someday. But for now… it’s just perfect and I’m one happy little clam! Thanks Tim!
