Building my perfect desk
For as long as I have had any thoughts on the kind of desk I might want, I have wanted to have a clean simple desk that was basically a shelf that extended the entire length of a wall. When we moved into our current house, one of the bedrooms became my office and was mine to do with as I wanted. It had the perfect place to put the a wall to wall desk and so that is what I decided to do. The major problem with this was that since I wanted it to exactly fit a wall over 9 feet long, it was going to have to be a custom desk.
This is where we come to one of my personality traits that I think can be quite useful, but that I am pretty sure my wife finds extremely frustrating at times (or more likely, all the time). When it comes to buying something for myself, or working on one of my personal projects I gain a patience that is nearly unending. I first started really designing the desk (and the office in general) on Dec 9, 2010. Today, a short 238 days later, I actually started building it. I am not entirely sure how it will turn out, or how long it is going to take me but I thought it might be fun to actually record it in real time.
