Puzzles 184 and 185 (Shikaku)

Whoops, I've been bad at keeping up to date with this!

I've recently been challenging myself to make one puzzle every day in the same genre as the one Bachelor Seal posts on that given day.  Yesterday's genre was Shikaku, which was a great genre to construct on the bus ride home from the airport.  I made a puzzle that, while unique, was much harder than I expected, mainly because during construction I changed a 14 to a 12 which adjusted some other numbers in the process.  Later, I came up with something much easier/closer to what you would find in an actual Nikoli magazine.
