I don’t mean to sound lazy about this, but this seems to require completely transposing 6 weeks worth of events every week or two (to move up the dates). I like this idea, and may actually do it once I have my own place, but I’m not really looking forward to the big (repeated) task re-writing 45 days-worth of events on a large wall.

This is a great idea!!! We used to have a normal black board painted direct on the wall, but a giant calender is great!

I actually did this very thing on my kitchen wall. It is better than I expected AND everyone that sees it thinks it’s great!

@ClickerTrainer — I’m allergic to chalk dust and used to be a school teacher. What I learned was that not all chalks are created equal. When writing on boards, I used liquid chalk pens made by the Rainbow company. The chalk only came off with a wet cloth. No dust. No mess. If I had a wall like this in my home, I would definitely use the liquid chalk pens.

I saw this when it came out a year ago or so, and considered and rejected it. I think the chalk would be messy. Unless you never wrote on it I guess. I bet Martha would either not write on it, or she would staff out the chalk-dust cleanup.

I’m not sure I would want that calendar looming over my workspace. It looks kind of ominous.

Neat idea. They appear to have transposed the photos of mixing proportions for paints C and D there; Paint D is lighter than C, but the photo shows it having a higher black-to-white ratio.

I was going to post this on their site, but they require registration, which would make me lose valuable TV-watching time.

We actually have an online calendar with all activities for all members of our family that we print out monthly and hang on our magnetic white board (IKEA). We have found that this is neater and enables us to look at what is going on (complete with pop ups in email) when we are at work, on the go (via cell phone calendars that are synched), or at home… The calendar hangs next to our weekly task list for chores as well as our other random notes that we need to address.
