Cranes at Sunset

Reorganizing and remodeling projects always turn into bigger jobs than expected.  Take out the freezer and replace it with shelves — easier said than done. Our first idea for shelves was looking more like scaffolding holding up the floral refrigerator, more reminiscent of the scaffolding keeping the earthquake torn buildings in Assisi, Italy from colapsing than shelves. We scrapped that plan, I returned the unused material, and purchased material for plan B, which involved moving the floral refrigerator to where the freezer was in anticipation of building shelves between the two refrigerators. 

I had to put new brushed silver wall paper on the wall I exposed by moving the freezer to match the paper we have behind the rest of the shelves. After we decided to move the floral refrigerator where the freezer was, we exposed more wall in need of brushed silver wallpaper.

Laurie discovered evidence of mice where the floral refrigerator was standing, and cleaned the floor really well so I wouldn't have to deal with mouse effects on a compromised immune system. We have six cats, and we still have mice. I shouldn't be surprised, however, and I wouldn't doubt that some of our cats are sneaking mice into the house to play with, and then letting them get away.

Stretch just "killed" a leaf, which he brought into the dance room and put it in one of my bins of screws sitting on the floor among tools and materials I'll use to build shelves tomorrow. I'll consider it a good will offering, and hope that the sacrificial leaf  will contribute to success in our reorganizing and remodeling project.
