Week 9: The rendering is mostly finished! It’s nice to be past the “omg we wrecked our house” demolition phase and starting to see what the finished product will be like. The TV mount arrived today, so still working on the new living room wall. The kitchen tiled floor is also being adjusted to meet flush with the new wooden one in the dining room. And the tub is in! A tub I can actually extend my legs in! 😍 And now we find ourselves at critical juncture that has detailed many a Grand Design – ordering the windows. Wish us luck…. 🪟🤞#renovation

The home renovation continues, but we’re starting to collect some new pieces to decorate. I was thrilled to nab one of these deconstructed GameBoy pieces from @xreart_official!

Me: I’m leaning towards these new frames… but they remind me of someone?
Rodd:
I still ordered them. 😂
Links that amused me today
- Sydney Sweeney Knows Her Boobs Drive People Crazy – LOL. Good for her! I want that sweatshirt.
- The Man Who Killed Google Search – Deliciously scathing post about the enshittification of Google Search. Guess what? AI-generated content is only gonna make it worse.
- 27 Takes On What It Means To Be a Serious Person – Both Rodd and I agreed that “purpose” is really critical and that neither of us have it, which is but one of many reasons why we are not serious people. Great piece.
- Any John Cage fans? “This is may be the most beautiful accidental explanation of the power of a work of art I’ve ever read in my life.” Agree. I also rather liked this reply.

One of the big decisions for the renovation was whether to put in a fire. We don’t really need one for heating, but we liked the idea of one for coziness. We tossed up between gas (expensive, polluting) and electric (cheaper, less heat, not as pretty) before landing on a portable ethanol fireplace. It arrived today, and as luck would have it, it’s a perfect cold, grey, rainy Sydney Autumn day. This is pretty nice… 🔥
