Spider Relocation Project Status: COMPLETE!

August 31, 2010 by openchannel 7 Comments

Yes, it’s true! The Shed-to-New-Office Renovation (Aka Spider Relocation Project) is (mostly) complete!

Final spider relocation tally:

Spiders Successfully Relocated: 60
Spiders Lost During Relocation: 4 (not including that sac of eggs I threw out)
Spiders Misplaced During Relocation: 2
Spiders I Allowed to Stay: 2 (but they’re very small)

BEFORE and AFTER!

And now for the coolest part of the whole deal (TRY not to be TOO jealous). You see the white & orange frames on the wall on the bottom photograph? Those are painted on magnetic whiteboards. I know! I first painted on the metal paint, then the white board paint, and PRESTO!

The first message is from my GBF. It says “I feel like I’m on the inside of a melon.” It’s true. My office feels fruity. But that’s a pretty happy place to be, I figure.
Five weeks from start to finish!

    Congratulations on your “fruity space.” Next you’ll be pouring super stories onto the page. Perfect.

    Thanks! I’m anxious to get all my stuff moved in and experience the fruity bounty. I haven’t had my own office space in years!

    I’m waiting for the finished project. I needs ideas for a little space I’m considering that’s away from my house.

    Well, I learned a lot doing this one, so feel free to ask any questions.

    I really like my painted on magnetic whiteboards. I have big plans for them.
