Extra brain power

A little sidestep from the usual remodeling reports - here's a little software tip instead:
I've had the idea of getting started with a mind map for quite a while now, to help med remember "everything" - and how people, projects, places and so on is connected. After a quick Google search I ended up at TheBrain.com, and their tutorials quickly convinced me that I had found exactly what I had been looking for!

There's a free version, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up upgrading to the Pro version.

Plaster fantastic

The bookshelves embedded in the library are now up! :-)
They are essentially made of plaster, but with paint and downlights they will look pretty good!DSCN7791 (Medium)

The home entertainment wall is also taking shape. This morning it looked like this:


(Notice the access hole, this time seen from the living room.)

All the edges of the plaster panels get reinforced. The following picture was taken this evening, and shows such a detail of the work done since this morning:

Finally, I picture taken from the kitchen, showing the guest room /office, to which we will have a sliding door (currently leaning against the far wall):

With proper walls, our apartment finally starts to look like a home again! :-)
