The DIY King (of fools) strikes once again! This time with help from the pros!

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

Or should I really say that the real DIY Kings took over and did most of the job (My FIL is a civil engineer and my step-father takes carpentry as his hobby)?? lol

Ok... if they're gonna to all by themselves I might as well take pictures... :)

OK... if they're not gonna let me do anything I might as well take pictures... ;)

No… seriouslly… I think I was there mostly to make decisions today…

Of course they would go with whatever THEY decided afterwards but that’s beside the point. :)

The fact is that we’re getting things done and I am SO happy about that!

I am terribly tired… exhausted to tell the truth (after Tom – The FIL – went home I actually got to do some stuff!!!), but I haven’t fell so good in ages!

We’re hoping to be able to finish all the lil details tomorrow to be able to get the rest of the furniture moved in and the MetaNoia Cafe on the road, working, making money and fulfilling all it was designed to be!

Dude… I ming… and it is like 1am… so… off to have a shower and bed to me!

Here… these photos should tell a bit more about my day :

DIYing is kinda cool!!! ;)

The DIY King (of fools) attacks again! :)

Heya!

Maybe you  have noticed that I have been a bit absent lately… no posts, no videos, no pics… Loads of twits and a brand new gateway to all the bits @ urbanvox.net (a provisory one as the real new one will be all flashy when it is eventually done… :) ) yup… loads of new things going on but not a lot of my presence…

It comes with the new year I guess… all new! :)

All I can say right now is sorry for the absence!  It is all for a good cause!

So… the latest new thing for me are the new adventures of the DIY King (of fools): ME! :)

If you’ve been following my twits you might have noticed me rambling about builders giving me headaches and decoration and trips to IKEA, and spending money, and a new CWI HUB or even about a MetaNoia Cafe.

ah the trips to IKEA... FUN (not)

ah the trips to IKEA... FUN (not)

Well that’s what’s been keeping me busy and away(ish) from the internet . I never imagined that the details to open the venue of my dreams (just in a smaller scale) would be so  complicated. I can’t wait to have it up and running (but you will hear about it when and as it happens).

1 month to do a 2 week job! grrrr!!!

1 month to do a 2 week job! grrrr!!!

The builders have FINALLY moved out! That means that now I can FINALLY move in and get it ready to start receiving people! Ah… BTW… you are more than invited to come and visit us… we have wireless internet avaliable… and even a couple of computers mounted on the walls… ;)

Which brings me to the DIY K(OF) situation: I am picky… and me being picky I didn’t like much what the builders did with the counter… for a start it was on the wrong place (after I told them exactly where I wanted it and HOW!)!!

So I decided to get back home, pick up my tools and MOVE IT MYSELF!

me me meeeeee!!! :)

me me meeeeee!!! :)

Next step is painting bits that need painting… getting the Image ID elements in and get the furniture/ computers/ studio equipment/ coffee shop stuff and then yayyyy we’re well away! :)

Too bad I didn’t take any pictures of the “Before”… but the “After” looks A LOT better! hehehe :)

Even better!!! I didn’t hammer a toe, of shred myself on nails or caused (or participated) on any accident yet!

Me is happy!!! lol!

wow… 2:22am… time to go to bed uh!

I’ll keep u posted! :)

nite nite!!!!!

zya!

(PS: Monday was OK all things considered! :) )
