Hidden Notes (mk.l)

001. Welcome

The apartment was smaller than Y/n had imagined.

The kind of small that made you question if you’d measured your furniture correctly or if you’d need to get rid of half your belongings just to make it livable. It had the unmistakable feel of a place that had been lived in before, maybe even loved at some point, though time had worn it down.

The wooden floors creaked with every step, the kind of creak that no amount of rugs could ever disguise. The ceiling had faint water stains and patches of peeling paint, as though it had weathered more than just the years. The walls, bare and slightly scuffed, seemed to echo her footsteps in welcome, as though they recognized that someone new had arrived.

It wasn’t perfect—far from it—but it was hers. And that was what mattered.

Y/n set the last box down on the floor with a thud, groaning softly as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

The sunlight streamed through the lone window, scattering warm, golden streaks across the room. It wasn’t much light, but it was enough to give the space a fleeting charm, enough to make the imperfections seem like they might be endearing someday. She let her eyes wander over the empty room, letting her mind play with possibilities. She could see where the couch would go, the corner where she’d create a reading nook, and the walls where she’d hang her art.

For now, though, all she could do was sigh and start unpacking. The process was slow, almost meditative. She moved carefully, as though unpacking her belongings might also help her unpack her thoughts. String lights came out first, hung in an uneven line along the wall closest to the window. They weren’t perfect, but they made the room feel warmer already.

Next came a stack of books, which she set neatly in a corner that she mentally marked as the future home of a bookshelf she didn’t yet own. One box, labeled “Kitchen Stuff,” sat untouched in a far corner. Cooking could wait. Right now, all that mattered was making the space feel less like an empty shell and more like her own.

As she shuffled around, placing things here and there, something caught her attention. Near one of the corners of the room, a piece of wallpaper was peeling away from the wall. It wasn’t unusual—this place clearly hadn’t seen a renovation in years—but something about it felt like an invitation.

Curiosity piqued, Y/n knelt down and gave the edge a gentle tug. To her surprise, the wallpaper peeled off easily, almost like it had been waiting for her to do it. Beneath it was a layer of cracked plaster, but her eyes were drawn to something else—a small object wedged in the narrow gap between the plaster and the wall.

“What the…fuck?”

She reached out, carefully pulling it free. It was a bundle of papers, yellowed with age and tied with a faded red ribbon. The edges were frayed, and the ribbon looked like it might disintegrate if she pulled too hard. Her first instinct was to leave it alone, but curiosity quickly won over caution. Slowly, she untied the ribbon, her fingers trembling slightly as she unfolded the top sheet.

The handwriting was uneven, like it had been scrawled in a hurry, but it was still legible. The words stopped her in her tracks:

"I don’t know where this path will take me, but I have to try. Maybe these words will find someone who understands."

A chill ran down her spine. She read the sentence again, letting the weight of the words sink in. It felt oddly personal, as though the writer had intended for someone—anyone—to discover it one day.

She flipped through the rest of the pages, each one filled with fragments of thoughts and sketches. There were rough, unfinished verses that could’ve been song lyrics or poems, all of them circling themes of escape, longing, and hope.

Some pages had small, hurried sketches of landscapes she didn’t recognize—mountains, winding roads, a lighthouse standing alone against a dark sky. Others were filled with notes that seemed like reminders to the writer themselves, scribbled lines like “Keep going” or “It’s never too late to start over.”

One page, in particular, stood out to her. Written in bold, deliberate handwriting were the words:

"Even in darkness, light finds a way."

For reasons she couldn’t quite explain, those words hit her deeply. They carried a strange kind of weight, like they were meant for her at this very moment. She looked around the apartment again, taking in the cracks, the creaks, the imperfections. It no longer felt like an empty, lifeless space. Someone had lived here. Someone had left a piece of themselves behind.

“Who were you?” she murmured to the silent room, her voice barely above a whisper.

Carefully, she folded the papers and set them on the kitchen counter. She’d come back to them later, she decided. For now, she had a new task. The wall where she’d peeled back the wallpaper needed fresh paint, and the apartment needed something else—new energy, life, a fresh start.

As she moved through the space, picking up supplies and envisioning her next steps, a question lingered at the back of her mind.

Who had written those words? And why had they hidden them here, waiting to be found?

She glanced at the papers again, feeling an odd connection to whoever had left them behind. The apartment, small and imperfect as it was, no longer felt like just a place to live. It felt like it had a story—one she was now a part of. And for the first time since she’d stepped through the door, Y/n didn’t feel so alone.

The Age of American Cities

I spent the last two weeks in Omaha and the surrounding area, and I was constantly struck by the newness of every human thing, and even of so many of the green spaces. There was hardly anywhere in the region that looked like it hadn't been sculpted by the actions of people within the last 120 years.

It was almost disorienting for me, even coming from a city barely 100 years older than that, but Pittsburgh and its outlying areas are still built on the skeleton of the 19th century, and on earlier bones than that, too.

My house, and many of the neighborhoods I see every time I leave it, are older by decades than anything I saw in Omaha, and they _feel_ older in ways beyond just architectural style. It's old trees hanging over streets, and a century of renovations juxtaposing old with new.

The roads here weren't made for cars; they were adapted to them. The rare wide boulevard here was carved out for trolleys to run beside horse-drawn carriages and wagons, for pedestrians and market stalls to fill the gutters and the roadway. Only in the 20th century were they overtaken by automobiles, pedestrians relegated to sidewalks and crossings, most street vendors banished until they finally reappeared as food trucks in automobiles of their own.

But Omaha was made for the car, it's neighborhoods made BY the car. A grid of broad, flat, 4-lane divided roadways connecting perfectly-contained and neat little neighborhoods, built each in a single architectural style, no house too close to its neighbors or too distinct.

Everywhere accessible by car in 30 minutes or less, nowhere accessible by foot.

I am a frequent user of the parks in my area, and of State and National Parks when I leave my immediate area. In Pittsburgh, many of the parks are old enough, or were carved out of places already old and untouched, that they feel timeless. There, manicured public spaces run aground on seas of wild and ancient forest, timeless meadows and fields of stone.

Even the neighborhood playground near me is only a fence away from a cliff dropping 10 meters down into a forested ravine whose trees yet tower over the slides and swings of the park above. Some trees as old as the oldest houses in the neighborhood bear silent witness to the nearly dozen generations of children playing and shouting down the streets that went from feet to horses to trolleys to cars.

The parks I explored in Omaha, by contrast, feel human and manicured in every way that matters. Each plot of ground has been designated to a purpose, and each plant selected for its spot. Trees only grow where they are permitted, and only to the size allowed by the landscapers. Carefully cut grass covers every uniformly-measured square of earth, and the only dirt allowed to expose itself to the people of Nebraska lives on the baselines of the sports fields cut into each park.

By contrast to Pittsburgh, Omaha is filled with intentional green spaces. Pittsburgh realized too late in its life that it needed parks and green spaces, and only carved them out of wilderness, wealthy estates, and farms as it expanded outward. As industrial sites and rail lines mouldered and decayed, the spaces were reclaimed into trails and wild spaces.

In some ways, this informs the feel of these parks and green spaces; wild and ancient, or full of life pouring through gaps in the concrete.

Omaha built parks and common spaces into the plans of its neighborhoods in ways the early residents of Pittsburgh should envy, but at the price of a uniformity of look and feel and a loss of wildness. Perhaps in another century, some of these places can be left to grow as wild as the parks of Pittsburgh, and freshly-abandoned spaces can be reclaimed into wilderness that links the manicured parks together.

I had a really good day at work today. Went on a call to get a couple of ettercaps out of an old abandoned barn and was greeted by our client. She was a landscaper who had been hired to renovate the property, and she was also very cute. She seemed to take notice of me right away and started flirting, and I was a little startled because she was hot. 

She also proved extremely competent, helping us clear out the ettercaps with a hunting rifle she told us everyone in the company kept in the car in case something like this happened. It is Florida after all, there are plenty of critters that can bother anyone working outside of the few asphalted over cityscapes. 

We cleared out the ettercaps in near record time, and afterwards we started talking until Leroy told us that both of our bosses would get pissed if we didn’t get going. I got her number though and she said she’d text me.

How to Compare Kitchen Remodeling Quotes from Local Contractors

When embarking on a kitchen remodeling near me project, one of the most crucial steps involves obtaining and comparing quotes from local contractors. This process is essential for ensuring that homeowners make informed decisions that lead to successful renovations, tailored to their specific needs and budget. Understanding how to navigate this landscape can be overwhelming, especially with numerous options available. However, with the right approach, homeowners can simplify the process and find the best contractors for their kitchen remodeling needs.

Understanding the Importance of Quotes

Obtaining multiple quotes from local contractors serves several purposes. First and foremost, it provides a clear picture of the market rates for kitchen remodeling services in a particular area. Evaluating these quotes allows homeowners to identify discrepancies in pricing, which can be indicative of the quality and scope of work offered by different contractors. A comprehensive comparison not only highlights price variations but also sheds light on the services included, materials used, and the estimated timelines for project completion.

Moreover, quotes can reveal a contractor's level of professionalism and willingness to engage with clients. A detailed quote typically reflects a contractor's thoroughness and commitment to transparency, providing insights into how they approach projects. Therefore, understanding the nuances of quotes can significantly impact the selection process, leading to a successful kitchen remodel.

Key Factors to Consider When Comparing Quotes

When comparing kitchen remodeling quotes, several factors should be taken into account to ensure a well-rounded evaluation. First and foremost, it’s essential to examine the scope of work outlined in each quote. A comprehensive quote should detail every aspect of the renovation, from demolition and plumbing to cabinetry and electrical work. Homeowners should be wary of quotes that lack specificity, as they may lead to unexpected costs down the line.

Another critical aspect to assess is the materials included in the quote. Quality materials can significantly influence the longevity and aesthetic appeal of a kitchen remodel. Homeowners should inquire about the brands and types of materials specified by each contractor. For instance, if one contractor includes high-quality cabinetry while another opts for budget alternatives, this discrepancy can drastically affect the overall cost and satisfaction with the finished result.

Additionally, timelines are a crucial consideration when comparing quotes. Homeowners should look for estimates regarding project completion and any potential delays. A reputable contractor should provide a realistic timeline that accounts for unforeseen challenges, ensuring that expectations align with the homeowner's needs. Clear communication regarding timelines can ultimately prevent frustrations and misunderstandings throughout the remodeling process.

Evaluating Contractor Reputation and Experience

Beyond the quotes themselves, evaluating a contractor’s reputation and experience plays a pivotal role in the decision-making process. Homeowners should conduct thorough research on local contractors, looking for online reviews, testimonials, and references from previous clients. A contractor with a solid track record of successful kitchen remodels is more likely to deliver satisfactory results.

Furthermore, it's beneficial to assess a contractor's experience in the specific type of kitchen remodel being considered. For instance, if a homeowner is interested in modernizing a traditional kitchen, they may want to engage a contractor who specializes in contemporary designs. This specialization can enhance the overall quality and aesthetic of the remodel, ensuring that the finished product aligns with the homeowner’s vision.

In addition to online research, homeowners might consider reaching out to past clients for direct feedback about their experiences with particular contractors. This firsthand information can provide valuable insights that may not be evident in online reviews, assisting homeowners in making informed decisions.

The Importance of Communication and Trust

Effective communication is a cornerstone of any successful remodeling project. As homeowners compare quotes and engage with contractors, they should prioritize those who demonstrate clear and open lines of communication. A contractor who is responsive to questions and concerns, and who takes the time to understand the homeowner’s vision, fosters a sense of trust that can be invaluable throughout the remodeling process.

Trust is essential in any contractor-client relationship, as it allows for a more collaborative environment. Homeowners should feel comfortable discussing their ideas, preferences, and concerns with their chosen contractor. This mutual respect and understanding can lead to a more successful partnership, ultimately resulting in a kitchen that exceeds expectations.

Final Thoughts

Comparing kitchen remodeling quotes from local contractors may seem like a daunting task, but it is a critical step in achieving a successful renovation. By carefully evaluating the scope of work, materials, timelines, and contractor reputation, homeowners can make informed decisions that align with their vision and budget. The key to a successful kitchen remodel lies in thorough research and clear communication, leading to a partnership built on trust and understanding.

For those searching for reliable and quality kitchen remodeling services, Home Quality Remodeling stands out as a trusted option. With a commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction, they offer comprehensive quotes and exceptional service, ensuring that every kitchen remodel is a rewarding experience. Whether you're looking for a minor update or a complete overhaul, engaging with professionals who prioritize your needs will ultimately lead to a kitchen that reflects your style and functionality.

Big Bend

Picture by: David Hensley

Looking at this picture of Big Bend National Park, I see myself as a male and a cowboy, walking along a dirt road to stumble upon a town. The people in the square stop in their tracks when they see me, so out of their ordinary, as I walk past into the saloon. Conversations immediately cease, and I feel I am not welcome. A threatening man walks up to me, hand resting on the Colt holstered on his side, and says, “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.” Now, I understand that there is no other dialogue to set the scene to further make that image more vivid, but my point remains. I am in an old Western movie, engaging in shootouts, robberies, and high-speed horse chases when I see images of Big Bend National Park.

The rugged landscape is part of the Chihuahuan Desert and is home to hundreds of various birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians. The Rio Grande River, for which the park was named after the big bend in it, provides life to 40 species of fish and various others of beavers, turtles, and waterfowl–a bird. The beauty, initially overlooked as barren and desolate, was recognized and officially established as Big Bend National Park on June 12, 1944. I learned it was a collective effort by park supporters and the State of Texas to have the region protected and preserved, a testament to the appreciation supporters of Big Bend had for the park by raising $1.5 million during the Great Depression. In 1976, the region was recognized by the United Nations as an “International Biosphere Reserve,” a recognition of the immense biodiversity within the ecosystems of the park boundaries and a promise of environmental monitoring and research. To protect biodiversity, Big Bend Conservancy (BBC) works diligently. 

Picture by: David Adams

The Big Bend Conservancy Strategic Plan 2021-2024 was a simple read but fruitful nonetheless. It outlined four primary sectors the group will target: 

“Preserve Big Bend National Park and Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River and support park goals.

Develop a comprehensive fundraising and donor recognition plan with annual goals.

Develop a comprehensive communications, marketing, and outreach plan.

Maintain a strong governing core.”

Each sector has further details on current and future renovation and restoration projects, park funding allocations and relationships, marketing targets, and goals for the governing body of Big Bend Conservancy.

Upon learning the history behind the establishment of the park and Big Bend Conservancy–founded by park supporters who wished to promote the conservation and sustainability of the region–I find myself resonating with it. I am from Texas, albeit nowhere near Big Bend, but I come from the same place, and never in my life have I questioned the emergence of the national park. Why would I? Yet, learning that this entity in my home state was brought forward and stewarded by other human beings for the sake of its existence is striking to me. It feels a bit more personal if that makes sense. From reading the words on a screen of the effort and dedication shown by park supporters, I can grasp the ethical position in which the BBC created this recent strategic plan to better meet specific park needs. It’s this “attunement” Timothy Morton talked about in Being Ecological. The idea of being ecologically intimate. During the Great Depression, a massive $1.5 million was raised to protect this region–humans could have been selfish and not allocated that money for protecting a patch of land. But they saw it as more, same as Lori Palmer and Russ Jewert, the married couple that began the formation of Big Bend Conservancy. It is this recognition of our place within ecology. Acknowledgment of the world around us and how we interact with it. So, I find this park a little special to me now, and for this post, I am grateful! It’s a nice reminder that humans are not inherently selfish and can place themselves on the ground with every other organism we share a planet with when we want to. It is not all capital gain; rather, it can be something so beautifully simple as advocating for the protection of an underrated environmental region.

How 3D Scanning Enhances Construction Projects in Toronto

When I first stepped into the world of 3D scanning, I had no idea how transformative it would be for construction projects, especially here in Toronto. From the towering skyscrapers that define our skyline to the historic buildings that remind us of our past, the construction landscape in this city is unique and complex. Over the years, I’ve witnessed how 3D scanning has not only enhanced but revolutionized the way construction projects are approached, executed, and completed.

My Introduction to 3D Scanning in Construction

I vividly remember the first time I saw a 3D scanner in action. It was a cold winter morning at a construction site in downtown Toronto. The project involved restoring a historic building, and traditional methods of measurement were proving to be inefficient and error-prone. A colleague introduced me to a team that specialized in 3D scanning, and I was immediately fascinated. The scanner, a sleek device mounted on a tripod, emitted laser beams that captured millions of data points in mere minutes. This wasn’t just a gadget; it was a game-changer.

As the scan progressed, the device generated a detailed point cloud of the building—a precise 3D representation that captured every nook and cranny. This data would later be used to create detailed models, identify structural issues, and streamline the restoration process. From that moment, I was hooked. I knew I had to delve deeper into this technology.

Understanding the Basics of 3D Scanning

For those unfamiliar with 3D scanning, it involves using laser or LiDAR technology to capture detailed measurements of physical objects or environments. The resulting data is then converted into digital 3D models, which can be manipulated and analyzed using specialized software. The accuracy and speed of this process make it an invaluable tool in construction.

In Toronto, where construction projects often face challenges such as limited space, strict regulations, and the need to preserve heritage sites, the precision of 3D scanning is particularly advantageous. The technology eliminates guesswork, reduces human error, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the site conditions before a single brick is laid.

How 3D Scanning Enhances Construction Projects

1. Improved Site Analysis and Planning

One of the first projects I worked on using 3D scanning involved a mixed-use development in Toronto’s bustling downtown core. The site was a labyrinth of old utility lines, uneven terrain, and adjacent buildings. Traditionally, surveying this area would have taken weeks and still left room for errors. With 3D scanning, we completed the survey in just two days.

The detailed point cloud generated by the scanner provided a comprehensive overview of the site, including underground utilities and potential hazards. This data was invaluable for creating accurate blueprints and identifying potential issues early in the planning stage. It also allowed architects and engineers to collaborate more effectively, as everyone had access to the same precise data.

2. Enhanced Design Accuracy

Another memorable project was a high-rise condominium near the waterfront. The design involved complex curves and unconventional angles that would have been challenging to execute using traditional methods. By integrating 3D scanning into the design process, we ensured that every element of the building was measured and aligned to perfection.

The scans were used to create detailed Building Information Models (BIM), which served as a digital twin of the structure. These models allowed the design team to visualize the project in 3D, make adjustments in real time, and ensure that every component fit seamlessly. The result was a stunning building that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations.

3. Streamlined Renovations and Retrofits

Toronto is a city that values its heritage, and many construction projects involve renovating or retrofitting historic buildings. I’ve been part of several such projects where 3D scanning proved indispensable. One example was the restoration of a century-old theater.

Traditional methods of measurement would have been invasive and risked damaging the delicate architecture. With 3D scanning, we captured every detail of the building—from the intricate moldings on the ceilings to the uneven floors—without touching a single surface. This data allowed the team to plan the restoration with surgical precision, preserving the building’s historic charm while modernizing its infrastructure.

4. Increased Safety on Construction Sites

Safety is a top priority on any construction site, and 3D scanning has significantly improved this aspect of the industry. On one project, a large commercial development in North York, the site had several high-risk areas, including unstable ground and incomplete structures. By using 3D scanning, we identified these hazards early and implemented measures to mitigate them.

The technology also allowed us to monitor the site’s progress in real time, ensuring that safety protocols were followed and potential risks were addressed promptly. This proactive approach reduced accidents and kept the project on schedule.

5. Cost and Time Efficiency

One of the most compelling benefits of 3D scanning is its ability to save time and money. I’ve seen projects where the technology cut weeks off the timeline and reduced costs by minimizing material waste and preventing costly errors. For example, during the construction of a retail complex in Scarborough, 3D scanning helped us identify design discrepancies before construction began, avoiding expensive rework.

Challenges and Learning Experiences

While 3D scanning offers numerous advantages, it’s not without its challenges. The initial cost of the equipment and software can be high, and there’s a learning curve involved in using the technology effectively. In my early days, I made mistakes—like misinterpreting scan data or failing to account for environmental factors like lighting and weather—that taught me valuable lessons.

One of the most important things I’ve learned is the importance of collaboration. 3D scanning is not a standalone solution; it’s a tool that works best when integrated into a broader workflow. By collaborating with architects, engineers, and construction managers, we can ensure that the technology is used to its full potential.

The Future of 3D Scanning in Toronto

As I look to the future, I’m excited about the possibilities of 3D scanning in construction. The technology continues to evolve, with advancements such as drone-mounted scanners and real-time data processing making it even more versatile and accessible.

In Toronto, where the construction industry is booming, I believe 3D scanning will become a standard practice. From residential developments in the suburbs to large-scale infrastructure projects like transit expansions, the technology has the potential to transform how we build and maintain our city.

Conclusion

Reflecting on my journey with 3D scanning, I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to witness and contribute to its impact on construction projects in Toronto. The technology has not only enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of these projects but also enriched my career, providing me with new skills and perspectives.

As I continue to work on projects across the city, I remain passionate about sharing the benefits of 3D scanning with others in the industry. After all, in a city as dynamic and diverse as Toronto, embracing innovation isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity.
