Lilly and I took vacation this week, so, of course, I took the opportunity to buy a miter saw and build a table for it. I stole the basic design from a pinterest post -- Lilly has officially gotten me to get on pinterest... but I edited the design to fit into the space we have in the shed. Here is a picture after I had gotten the basic frame built:

The miter saw will go in the open gap. Here it is basically done as of tonight:

I need to add a sheet of plywood over the bottom shelf supports and I need to anchor the saw down with bolts, but I'm basically done. Now on to building new projects with my awesome new saw!

Isa and Lilly went shopping today, so I was able to get some work done. I installed a third wireless router outside under one of the eves of the house. It is an old router that we just had sitting around, so I don't really care if it gets messed up out in the elements. If it stops working, I might replace it with a router that is actually designed to be outside! Anyway, I had to run power and ethernet through the attic and I routed it out through one of the attic vents. Here's the pic:

I figured out where I could put screws that would miss the electronics inside and I drove 4 screws into the feet to secure it up-side-down under the eve. It has increased the wireless coverage outside the house tremendously. I now get consistent wireless signal at our picnic table and out in the shed -- enough to stream video. I need to put a more permanent patch over the vent to keep little critters out of the attic, but now I'm mostly done with the wireless project. Yay!

Over the last few day I've been working on a project for Isa's room. We didn't build a closet into the new room because it can't technically be a bedroom without a few other improvements, so it is officially a den. But, with Isa now living in the room, she needed somewhere to hang her clothes. We stole this idea off pinterest, but I edited it a little bit to fit the space in the room and also Isa's needs as far as shelves and hanging space.

Isa is testing out a gray paint color for the walls in the corner, so ignore that. We intend to add baskets and other stuff on the shelves for storage. Cool! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
