Base

Today I built a base for some shelves for my dad. This platform will elevate some Ikea open-backed shelves high enough to clear a baseboard radiator, so they can sit flush with the wall. I still have to sand off the measles (wood filler) and paint it, but the carpentry is done.

Panncase

I am back to commuting by bike & train, and have modified an old briefcase with pannier clips. It’s much nicer for a daily commute than even my very nice real pannier, though I’d hesitate to use this setup for longer than my 1-mile ride, especially on rough roads or in the rain.

Cobbles

They’re reconfiguring the road in front of my workplace, as I’ve commented on before.  They’re about to make major changes, and here they’re harvesting the historic cobblestones, which I’m sure will fetch a good price from landscapers.
