I’ve been collecting national park passport stamps for a while now, but I’ve never really documented the adventure. It’s time to change that! 😄

Today’s stop: Little River Canyon National Preserve, where the river cuts a 600-foot-deep canyon right through the top of Lookout Mountain. Gorgeous!

It’s hard to come up with the words to do the magic of @deepdishswift.com justice. Incredible pizza, talks, developers, and friends. See y’all in 2026! 🍕🍕

If you need me, I’ll be at the botanical garden’s yearly plant sale 🌻

This is your yearly spring cleaning reminder to head on over to Xcode → Settings → Components and remove all of those OS runtimes that you're no longer using!

I just freed ~100GB from my machine by cleaning these up 🧹

Saturday's project: adding campground pictures for hundreds of campgrounds across the US National Parks system. Huge thanks to the US National Park Service for making these available.

Coming to Pines soon! 📸

The floors are now fully installed 🙌🙌

The final tasks will be to install & paint the baseboards and quarter round.

Fueled by loads of turkey, we’ve gotten the underlayment stapled in, and the floor installation has begun! We’ve gotten almooost half of it in. Going to install the rest of it in tomorrow!

After a few hours with the drum sander, our new subfloor is finally flush with the existing ones!

There’s still some subfloor prep to go, like removing all of the staples from the laminate flooring and filling in a few low spots. I think that’s a job for tomorrow!
November 23, 2024 at 9:44 PM
Update: we eventually got the subfloor replaced! Today’s task is to sand it down so that it’s level with the rest of the subfloor…maybe flooring will be next! 😄

Pines is currently featured on the VisionOS App Store! This is my first time to have an app featured on the App Store! 🤯🤯

Huge thanks to the App Store team and to @thillsman.me for letting me know about it! 🙌

One of the first things I do when creating a new project is to create a SemanticSymbols struct with all of the string values so that I can have consistent symbol usage throughout the app!

Then, each time I need to make a close button, I just use SemanticSymbols.close 😄

That definitely didn’t go quite how we thought it would! 😅 We found some gnarly water damage on one edge of the subfloor, so it had to come out!

New subfloors will go in tomorrow! 😄💪

Today in home renovations: replacing the dining room floor!

This one’s been a long time coming. The linoleum floor has served well for many years, but it’s peeling up in several spots, and we’re going to make it match the wood floors we recently installed in the living room. More to come soon! 👷‍♂️

Trying out the smoker for the first time, can’t wait to see how it turns out 🤩
