Yo everybody! Thought I'd check in with a little progress update
Got my tools inventoried
I still have a few odds and ends to put away, which I'll do later tonight. I couldn't figure out where to keep my paints, then I decided to keep them in a storage room downstairs where I was originally going to have my workbench. The room, however, is directly underneath my parents' sleeping quarters, so I decided against using that for my hobby. They would let me - they are very accommodating - but I love them very much, and would never take advantage of them. Their undisturbed rest means as much to me as my own if not more. It's a nice, dry and cool room, so it's perfect for storing paints and such!
I also solved the puzzle of how to maximize the use of my desktop. I found a small stand that fit my laptop perfectly, so I put it just under the desk, on the side, so I have easy access to it without it taking up space on the worktop. It's a very large laptop. I got it when I was into gaming, and it's rather bulky and powerful - just like me
Finally, I took out the window pane where I am putting my exhaust vent. It was a booger. The glass was very old and brittle, and the glazing was like concrete. I got a couple other windows in the basement to repair, so I'm going to see about having the local hardware store get me all fixed up. I'd do it myself, but cutting acrylic sheet without a table saw is a pain in the butt, so I shall seek the services of a professional, then after that I will go to the hardware store
Welp, arts and crafts are over for now, the nurse is calling for me to take my meds. See y'all in the funny papers
