With the happy interruption of a pup visit from the cutest puppy ever, we are now scrambling to get the posts for the floating shelves installed before the tile guy comes early this week. With Andrew’s help, they were able to get three out of four posts installed with the last destined to be up by the time the Cowboys lose later today.

There is absolutely no room for error (on the shelf installation — the Cowboys are another story — also, Fly Eagles Fly!), so the amount of measuring devices currently littering our counters could land a space shuttle.

The next terrifying step is to drill holes in our precious walnut wood in exactly the right spots so that they slide seamlessly onto the posts, hence the floating shelf effect. Except that these are going to be strong enough to hold an overweight fullback during the off season.

Once the tiling goes on, we’re going to start taking down the pantry wall trim that the contractor installed incorrectly and doing it right. Yay ![]()
