project : showerstall (cont.)


First two pieces of the contact paper went up without a hitch, of course that was not the case with the next piece.

It was the biggest piece in all of this. And it gave me the most trouble. It was much too big for me to manage by myself, although I did, but not without some compromise. I had to separate the piece up, cutting some parts so that I could put them up. Before that, however, they were tangled up so badly I nearly had to throw the entire piece away (and that, will definitely ruin the entire piece and force me to do the whole thing over again)

There were some parts that, I will probably have to cut off, and form it into waterdrops and stuff. After fighting with it for almost 2 hours, I got it up, and now I'm just waiting for the mist that came from the soap mix spray to evaporate, so I can see where I have to fix.

Then a couple of nights later I put up the third piece (well, I cut and put up the third piece) This one suffered from the mistake I made with the big piece, due to some misplace, the piece was higher than it should, and so I had to fix this one by extended the stem of the leaf, which is a must, or risk ruining the one thing I can't modify.

The fairy was the one thing I can not modify without ruining it, so I had to keep it in the same place, and with that I extend other parts instead. Too bad that the head was right where the handle was, kinda ruin it a little. But that's how it comes, not much I can do, most picture starts at the bottom.

But looking at it from the other angle, I'll probably work on a new one when I feel like doing it, which could be in a few months from now, so not attach with this image would be a good idea.

It's not done yet, there'll be another 1 big piece and 1 small piece to go up.

On the other note, I want sheet music from Apocalyptica (like I'm all that proficient with violin to play, really.) I'm not good enough to play something like that yet, but it's good to have goal, right?

So, on that thought, my goal for my first course of violin is playing Apocalyptica's Hope. :) I'll even buy the sheet music.

Finally, the DSL at the store is working!!

Man, I've been calling them about it since last week, and the one answering the phone said that she was just an intern and she couldn't answer me anything. ARGGGGGGGG!!! Finally, after the store close yesterday (we close every Saturday) I came in and decided to turn on my laptop and then the modem and while it still nothing (just the light for power and ethernet on) I called them up and suddenly the damn thing work!!!

*sigh* I'm not even gonna ask.

I got Shingetsutan Tsukihime and I decided to watch it today if I can manage, I never seem to be able to these days. Although the next ep of Kekkaishi will go over well enough in midst of the distractions that we got here in the store. I also got 2 ep of Supernatural to watch too.

I started to work on the new blog layout last night, it'll be pretty simple, since I needed to get back on the saddle (so to speak) my last layout had something wrong with it, for whatever reason. So I have to start from scratch all over again.

My bathroom project is going slowly. It's not the cutting, it's the putting the damn contact paper on the shower stall that kills me. I tried a lot of things and still the airbubble is the most troublesome thing in this. I'm getting better at getting rid of them though. Too bad that some of them even left marks on the clear contact paper, but it's nothing I can really do about it now. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid them later on.
