Sorry for the super late response to this. We just came back from a 3 week trip to Germany and I enjoyed being completely offline. Super refreshing btw. you should try it out.

I got way too much going on right now, so the ac job is not happening for a while, but let's keep in touch.

About the quiz: Look for the "I love my Volvo" decal next to the window.

Ah, I was looking for a good hard part, forgot about stickers!

Pulled off a cooling group refresh on Evita this weekend, glad it. Wasn’t too hot in driveway.

Wait...is that a real Eames office chair? That has vintage value man!

This also brings me a wave of memory of my dad. He had everything organized on pegboards.

I "inherited" the pegboard! It was certainly a DIY guy's place at one time. The chair is a Herman Miller. I've had it for 10 years. Gotta put it back together. I took it apart (part of it) long ago to find a way to clean the wool, but found I probably couldn't put it back together after. The way the fabric edges are held in is very tight and I'm no upholsterer.

Nice. Charles and Ray Eames design manufactured by Herman Miller. Spare parts are available at a H-M store, which they have to have in Denver. We even have one here and they just put free arms on my office chair At 12 years old!
