New Apartment (continued)

Today I had the day off of work, so I decided to finish building the desk in our office room at the new place. Since there are 5 of us in the apartment, we decided the best layout for us was to all sleep in the big bedroom, and make the small one our office space. Trever has a huge desk so his is out where a dining room table would be.

That leaves the 4 of us to make desk space for. We wanted to build instead of buy because a) its way cheaper, and b) we could make it fit the room the best. Here's the outcome:










Notice my new globe on my section of the desk. My gift card to Barnes and Noble provided that - I'm pretty excited about it actually. Oh, and St. Vincent is on it. I decided tonight that it is going to be a great tool for reminding me to pray for our world. Tonight I prayed for China because I have friends there.

The 'L' shape made it a bit more difficult to complete, but it was a fun day. Here's a funny story - I was drilling the big hole through the top of the first desk (the one all the wires go through) - and about a minute into drilling the hole I realized my drill was set to reverse. The bit was spinning the wrong way - no wonder it wasn't making much progress. In that moment I was glad no one was with me.
