 the home improvement bug

the home improvement bug is biting again. (dammit, i thought i sprayed for that earlier in the season.)

last week my mom sent me 4 books... each one is part of a series on how to build furniture using the most basic lumber (usually just 2x4s).

here's a link to one of the books.

after browsing through them last night, i'm inspired to really start thinking seriously about my next house project: building a window seat in the kitchen.

none of the 4 books addresses such a project, though, so i'll more or less be on my own. but i think if i clearly read the instructions for similar projects i'll be ok.

i hope.

this is kinda scary, actually.

i think i'll set a tentative start date of mid-september. that'll give me time to do some more research (and some time to totally psyche myself out up).

That is a very cool project! I lived in a house in college that had a window seat, and we loved it.
