Now today is a very important day in my life.
And it involves something you may not know about.
See... I'm not all plastic crack and shit.
I have another life outside of this geekage.
And today was a major day in that life.
And after 12 months, and 153 days of major labor, the principle repair work on the basement of the House of Love III has been completed. And after 12 months, and 153 days of major labor, principle repair work on the basement of the House of Love III has been completed. And there's been a major bedroom remodel in that year too.
Now all that's left is some minor painting, some touch up here and there, to install the runners and carpet on the stairs, and get those damn comics sorted and those toys sold off!
It has come a long way since I started on it last April 21, 2006 when it began.
What a long year it has been:

Basement Stairwell gallery
All of Giga's toys are moved back into the main basement room along with some of my shit (below). We'll sort that this week for the toy show in 2 weeks. We are crack dealers again!
I need to get all those comics sorted, documented, and boxed too (below).
I so want this shit out of my life.
If you would have asked me a year ago if I would ever do so much concrete and cement work in my life I would have laughed.
I learned a helluva lot this past 12 months.
And none of it what I ever intended on learning.
Bad craziness.
Congrats to you! That's a huge accomplishment. You're like a house customizer/kitbasher. You definitely deserve that self indulgent crack splurging streak you went on.
"Principle repair work" is a scary phrase! It implies this is just the first step. Good luck with the rest.
Bad craziness, but huge accomplishment, and another step towards putting the House of Love on the market. Congrats!
