I like to try and save threads from the Garbage Dump from time to time.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I wish I had a clever add-on to this, but you nailed it. No room to improve.

I was going to convert my guest bedroom closet into a work space. I was thinking about doing the floating desk and built in shelves and all.

Instead I found a nice desk that fits perfectly in it and I think i will do that instead. Because i suck at woodworking, dont have all of the proper tools, and if my girlfriend ever leaves me and i need a roommate....i can easily turn it back into the closet.

Ill shove the desk in there, through in some minor shelving, printer, two monitors, possibly paint the closet a different color and be done with it.

You should do one if you can. That sounds like the best.

I just got a new dishwasher and i couldnt be happier.

sure it would be nice but it just seems like overkill somehow..what dishwasher did you get? she was also steering us to a 10 grand refrigerator and I had to stop her there..putting money into the stove is what we're doing

don't do it. you can get a cheaper, but mobile, espresso machine (i love our breville barista touch (although it was still $1100)) that frankly brews better coffee. plus, it'll be antiquated before you know it. friends of ours that just built a new home did it and that's one of their kitchen regrets. spend the money on a built-in beverage refrigerator instead.
