My grand vision

Posted on September 22nd, 2008 in Daily Life | No Comments »

Well, it’s finally, pretty much done. But for some gravel and plants, the grant vision that is my deck has been completed. Below is a gallery of pictures including some shots of my new windows - which I hinted at in one of my initial deck postings. You get a sweet before and after shot.

I think I somehow managed not to get a shot of the two gigantic flower beds built into the deck. The house itself kind of brings down the swankness of the deck with it’s very outdated and dying siding so I eliminated those shots, but they’re the only ones with the flower beds. Foiled again!

My dad’s favorite part is my favorite part too - the view from my bedroom (included below). I have even gone so far as to place a chair way out there all by itself, just so I can have it in that vignette.

I’m liking it

My former boss was born on 9/11 33 years ago. To reclaim her birthday, she became a part of charity:water (http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/fundraiser/sept/view/1476). I donated to it on behalf of her and am helping build this - http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/livedrill.htm

Being in customer service myself now, I like to make my support request emails entertaining. Thus I ended my last one like so:

“Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to get as far away from my old registrar as possible. Realistically, I think that whole place is run by one hamster… and he died.”
