"Almost There..."

A couple weekends ago, my wife and I finished assembling my new corner desk, from Office Depot's Magellan Collection. We both like the style and size is appropriate for my new studio. The only problem we had was one of the shelves and the back of the drawer, each had a chunk gouged-out of them. This was most likely caused by how the desk was packaged and then shipped. When my wife called our local Office Depot, they knew right away what the problem was and ordered us replacements.

By the end of last week, I was able to do the final floor and shelf/storage arrangement. It took me nearly all day to complete, but I can honestly say I'm done.

Almost.

 

I've been feeling like Han Solo in a stalled Millenium Falcon.

 

I just have a few of the finishing touches I alluded to in the title.

This includes installing the un-gouged drawer back, which arrived just as I was loading the desk. While I have my PC up and running, it's not connected to the internet yet. So we'll either run a cable to the router or get a wireless device installed in my PC. Finally, I'll take a good look at some of my boxes-of-odds-and-ends and determine if any of the items are worth keeping.

Afterwards, I hope to re-animate the campaign on this blog and resume work on Breakout from Bongolaan. 

Some Assembly Required

 

The hiatus for this blog and the Breakout from Bongolaan webcomic continues, but there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Folks often say that it takes a long time to completely move and settle into a new place. My home consolidation with Janet has proven to be no exception. Even though the Big Moving Day was almost two months ago, my studio is still in a partial state of disarray.

The primary reason for the delay in re-establishing the studio is because my large, L-shaped desk didn't quite survive the trip...

 

 ...it was the only item to suffer major damage during the move. The good news is, only have the desk is broken. The sturdier half is still intact and we may use it for a workbench. It's already being put to use as a storage shelf in the garage...

 

While I really liked the desk, a gift from my ex-wife, I had serious doubts about maneuvering it up the stairs, through the narrow hallway and into its new home.

So the only option was to embark on a quest for a new desk.

On Labor Day Monday, our labors were rewarded. We found a nice, corner desk at Office Depot. The store didn't have any in stock, so we had to get one delivered.

My new desk arrived a few days ago...

 

...now all we have to do is put it together.

 

Once this project is complete and the studio straightened out, I plan on resuming both the Redshift Chronicles Campaign and start work on Chapter 7 of Breakout from Bongolaan.

 

Thank you for your patience these past few months.
