Hobby Desk

Managed to pickup a desk this weekend before the flu set in.  Found a desk on Craigslist for $100 that's perfect for the den.  Added some LED lighting to it.  The chair to the left of the desk is there so I can pull it out into the room for listening sessions.
 Also got the stereo stuff in the room cleaned up a little, though I still need to remove the old stereo rack on the left side and neaten things up a little.
Once I get over this flu I'll tackle that.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Siding Started

Man, this stuff takes a loooong time to stain, but the results look very nice.  Here I've started the first round of siding. I will probably do this over the coming 2 weeks, staining some on one night, and installing is 1-2 days later.  It seems to take about 24 hours for the stain to fully dry.  Looks great though. Here is a better shot where I've stacked a few of the excess pieces on top so you can see more of what the wood will look like.
