This is for Cop Car, pertaining to her posts in the last two weeks. This is also to the The Weekend Pundit who had a post or two about this topic, but I'll be danged if I can find it again.

Finding Things of Use

After dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing floors for 4 hours yesterday (to get the majority of sheetrock dust and insulation strands out of the wood floors and off the furniture), I started rearranging the basement in preparation for a delivery that should happen in the next two weeks. There was a corner behind the heater and water heater that held a lot of large flat items; inside doors, closet doors, a spare window pane for the living room window, frames for a couple of single beds, and a shower door.

Wait. What? What was that that I didn't realize was there? A shower door? It was in its original box and I had never looked closely at it. I assumed it was an old storm door or another window. But when I started opening the box so I could figure out if it would go to the dump or go to EX for metal scrapping, I found this wonderous find.

I really hate shower curtains. I had investigated getting a shower door when I was at the old house, but couldn't justify the cost (those puppies are tres' expensive). Why this thing was put into storage, and as far as I can tell never actually installed, I have no idea. But, the dimensions seem to be correct. All the hardware seems to be there - and instructions too.

Me thinks I have found another project to work on.

Office Worker on a Motorcycle

 Last weekend was fairly easy. I only had to demolish one wall, in the office. I got the demo done on Saturday, including running all the dtritus to the dump. Then I got the plywood scabbed in and caulked. Sunday morning I got the insulation put in and then I played the rest of the day by going out for a ride.

 

Left about 11 and got home shortly after 4 so I would have time to get regular chores done.

There is a hang-gliding hill outside Claremont and I stopped to take pictures becuase I saw an ultralight towing a hang glider

It was good to get a project done (or at least as done as it is going to get until contractors come in) and still get to relax for a while.
