31->1 :/

BMitch

Aarthi

\o/ :D

BMitch

you can sweet talk us all you want, but we know who your favorite is :D

Aarthi

pfft i just miss the guy.

plus it's his damned turn to blog!

Tester101

@Aarthi We are still waiting to read about your IKEA assembly.

Aarthi

14:55

oy vey, i have no idea when i'll have time for that :(

Tester101

Nobody wants to read any more of my filler posts.

Aarthi

aww

>< okay, hound me about a little bit, but I'll try to have it in by the end of this week.

Aarthi

15:13

how was everyone's weekend?

relaxing?

knock out anything on the honey-do lists? :P

BMitch

@Aarthi yes and no

Aarthi

better than just a no

BMitch

went to Mount Vernon, aka George Washington's home, aka the petting zoo

The Evil Greebo

contractors installed ducting, registers and the air exchanger for our attic hvac addition on friday

Steve Jackson

Playing, raking and too much basketball. Played three games yesterday, I hurt all over.

BMitch

15:18

Mount Vernon has been on the honey-do list for a while, but it's not exactly DIY related

Tester101

Had the Ghost hunters out to look for ghosts in my sewer line.

Steve Jackson

Did they find slimer?

Tester101

They only found roots.

Steve Jackson

Spooooooky roots?

Tester101

and a couple "feminine products"

added that to the honey-don't list

Aarthi

15:20

oh my.

BMitch

roots and feminine products ruined one of my childhood Christmases

Tester101

waiting for them to come back with the camera.

BMitch

if they didn't replace the line where the roots invaded, then that plumber was right to clean out the line periodically, that was my condition on "if they did their job correctly, you shouldn't need it"

Steve Jackson

@TheEvilGreebo Was everything open for the ducting or did they have to make a lot of holes?

The Evil Greebo

They made the holes

we talked about doing it ourselves but we might have saved $300... tops...

Aarthi

A new user! Hi @Gigili welcome to DIY chat! :D

Gigili

Hey @all. Thank you @Aarthi =)

Aarthi

@Gigili No problem; it's what I do best :D How are you this Monday mornin?

Gigili

Can't complain! Thank you for asking.

I wanted to ask if a question is on topic on DIY. I want to ask about how can I arrange my books in my room with lacking space issue

Aarthi

That is, your room is small and space is hard to come by, but you want to organize your books?

Gigili

Exactly so.

Steve Jackson

15:36

What ideas have you had? I'd post a picture of the space in the chat here and we might be able to narrow you down to an answerable question.

instructables has a ton of unique shelving ideas.

Gigili

@SteveJackson Nice, I'd follow your advice then. Will be back.

Aarthi

16:12

so that killed the conversation.

while i understand why design is off topic for us, we can ask questions about achieving design, right?

building the shelves, hanging the curtains, etc?

The Evil Greebo

16:38

We can't all be here chatting all the time....

Tester101

@TheEvilGreebo We could be if SE paid us to.

The Evil Greebo

16:53

True. Get to work on that, @Aarthi :)

Steve Jackson

17:10

@Aarthi Sure. Design questions are just too broad, too localized, and too subjective to work at all. Like that one, a place to store books in a small space. Well the optimal solution is a box.
