I finally figured out which lift I wanted and had it installed a week and a half ago. I came home from a trip this weekend and wired it all up. Can't wait to try it out!

Making progress on our "landscaping" and a few other things. Shuffleboard is finally in and installed. Thanks to Ryan Olson for the extra muscle. Rose beds are in, just a few more tractor loads of dirt to finish them. Successful trip to Zamzow's for pottery and a really cool robot that sways with the breeze. Also some cool privacy screens (plus some relocated sage brush) to block our soon-to-move-in neighbor from seeing into our bedroom.

Finally finished my poor man's outdoor kitchen. $10K-$15K for fancy stuff - no way! A solid BBQ, pizza oven with cart, stainless steel table, and drawer system for about $3,300. Actually spent more on some parts I didn't need for the hose system - intarnetz said I needed to keep the provided regulators on the pizza oven and grill, they was wrong. Grill wouldn't fire without removing the regulator (I'm on house LP). Forgot to take pictures of the first hamboogers but they were delicious. Grill was at 450F in less than 5 minutes. Can't wait to try out the pizza oven - will have to wait until we return from the Caribbean.

Playing with my 3D printer, I printed out these light switch cover plates with a steampunk look. They match our shower curtain in the guest bath as well as all of the fixtures in both guest bedrooms.
