Sometimes I feel slow like I am not getting things done. I have “owned” this house for over a year now. It was a fixer when I got it. Now with my grubby hands and bloody knuckles, it might be considered a “Handyman’s Special.” That is its still not done. I keep telling myself I am close, and I really think I am, but telling myself I am close gets old when it starts to feel like it has been close for months. I ordered appliances in April, as all I had left to do was finish the wiring and call the inspector and get the sheetrock done and get on my way. Its July now, almost mid-July.
I am at the point of closing up the walls, but first, I need to get that inspection.

Hi Isaac –
This will redoubtably come across as strange, so hear me out. We spent a summer semester in Copenhagen a few years back. This is Ed Brant, interior designer. I have lived in NYC for awhile now and it’s become really clear that this isnt where I was meant to live, and I now plan on moving to Portland. I am hoping to make a contact and maybe get a heads up on the design scene in your fair city. I hope this is ok with you.
Kick butt on your house! Love that pic of the column.
take care,
Ed (although I go by Quinn now, which was my birth name…blahblah)
