I got the top section of the solarium done this evening. Plastic is anchored and pulled as tight as I could get it at both the roof and the lower (west) wall. Since north and south walls are closed up, the only things left are finishing closing the west wall (By far the easiest part) and building and installing the door.
Unfortunately I do need a few more 2x2's for the door frame and 1x2's for the anchors.
The new mixer came in today and I picked it up a little while ago. I burned the motor out in the old one. Don't remember how long I had it. Any way, this is by far the nicest mixer I've ever had. Stronger motor, stand and hand mode, beaters, dough hooks and whisk attachment. Even came with a glass mixing bowl. Hope this one lasts a few years.
I may seem at times to be somewhat materialistic, talking about things I've purchased or gained. However, the thing most people fail to notice about possessions is commonalities in those possessions. The nature of possessions says everything about a person. The things I always talk about or get excited about are tools of one kind or another. Concrete mixer, wood working tools.. Even a mixer is a form of tool. In my mind, even a table or a car is a tool in some form. Each one has the common trait of extending my capability.
Of course, there are the things I build with some of those tools. Those things are meant to improve my life and/or my daughter's life in some way. Though in many cases, many of even those things have multiple purposes.
Someday I will get beyond utility and focus more on esthetics. Trying to work on that a little at a time.
