New Desk

This weekend we worked on small projects. I worked in the courtyard, cleaning it up for spring. Removing last years mulch which had faded and molded. I also planted a few new plants, some pansies and a few ranunculus. It is starting to look a lot better now that we are having warm spring days.

We also built Geoff a new desk. It's not finished yet but it is getting close now. He really wanted a tall desk that he could stand at, so we built it very similarly to how we built the workbench in the garage. A 2x4 frame attached it to the wall studs with a solid surface top. There is still one more top section to cut to complete the desk. After that we will need to drill a few holes for the wires, possibly staining the top and paint the 2x4 frame white.  The office is far from finished as always projects seem to evolve as you go. We plan to replace the tile flooring with a wood floor as well as replace all the trim.

Also on the list of things to finish in the office is a wire containment system.. Any idea?
