So after a very long 9 hour work day, the horrid, awful paint job is gone! Everything is primered and nothing is showing through. It's a miracle! The carpet has also been totally ripped out. It is so hard to believe that we signed the lease just two days ago!
Now tomorrow begins the fun stuff....I get to paint actual color on the walls that I like! Yay!!!
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress -- Through a rotating carousel theater, this attraction carries seated guests into the homes of four generations of the same family from the days before electricity to the present day.
After a brief introduction, your theater rotates to reveal Act I, set around Valentine's Day around the turn of the century. After our host, John, tells the audience about the current state of modern conveniences -- all pre-electricity -- the theme music, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," plays as the theater rotates again. Act II brings us to the 1920s, and we see the family preparing for the Fourth of July celebration. The father shows off all the new electric powered conveniences, including the vacuum, electric lights, oven, and refrigerator (subsequently blowing all the fuses out in the neighborhood). Among the many other inventions spotlighted, we also see the son, Jimmy, listening to radio, on which we hear a John Philip Sousa march, and we hear about "air cooling", a fan blowing over a block of ice.
In Act III, the John of the 1940s tells us that he's entered the "Rat Race" by commuting to work, and we see the benefits of his new refrigerator and, most importantly, indoor plumbing. The theater turns one more time to reveal Act IV, with the family celebrating Christmas on the eve of the new century. The family's automated oven manages to burn the Christmas turkey to a crisp and the show concludes with a final rotation into the Finale, from which the audience is dismissed.

Measure twice and cut once, this is never so important when you don't have many spares and can't run to the local lumber store for more.

Whilst the team believed they were on the verge of creating history ...
Little did they know their efforts had been eclipsed years earlier & far more succesfully through the LL-117 series
The space federation were not amused ...

Saturday afternoon was spent tearing out the 12' 2x10's and getting all the insulation off the north facing wall. I'd take a wild guess there was about 30 years of critter activity in those walls... Had to suit up for deep sea diving for that job. What a mess. When I wired up the shop, I decided to have all wiring accessible by not putting it in the walls. What a great decision. Not just for future tie in's, but I found so many spots that critters had chewed through and were otherwise scorched. What a fire hazard. Not anymore!

This week, I was paired with Rob, aka dobseh for the Get Pushed group.
There's nothing I don't love about being a part of this group. No matter how exhausted I get, I find myself signing up every week to give myself something to grow on. Rob was no exception this week-- he forced me to grow (and show my growth... literally!)
His challenge to me:
"Ok, so i've been through your stream, you've got some nice stuff in there, but I'd like to challenge you to do something I haven't seen in a your stream.
Hard light - I'd like you to show off the new life inside you by crafting some light around your bump. You will probably need to use your tripod(you can also use someone else to trigger the shutter). I don't want to see to much grain, so no high ISO! It might also work better has a high contrast B+W, but that is entirely up to you. You can use natural or artificial light, again that's up to you. "
He nailed it. I've never tried something like this and needed to be pushed in order to get it done!
I wanted a black background and the closest I could get in my home was in the bathroom (our shower curtain is navy and knew it'd look black in B&W). So, I set myself up in the dark bathroom with 6 candles hanging out on the toilet. I toted my tripod in with me and posed for probably way more takes than I should have. In the end, this was the one I was happiest with. I think I learned a lot about harsh lighting and I know I have much more to learn about it. It's def. something I'll be trying again in the future (hopefully in different settings!)
I also want to add that at 4 1/2 months pregnant, I am happy to at any time record bits of this pregnancy to remember. I know this will go by faster that I can image and there's so many things that I take for granted with it. Despite exhaustion and a bit of heart burn, I'm really in great health. I can still work full time and still take care of my home. I'm so thankful for that and want to remember that I'm lucky to have these blessings!
Oh, and besides a crop and rotating the image slightly (I realized my tripod was on a slant making the image slanted) this is SOOC.
