Got That One Done

This morning would have been the temperatures I would like to enjoy right through the first frost. Can’t have everything. I am happy we have not had the mosquitos this summer. If I rustle the plants in the garden, I know I am asking for it.

Sewing Studio 002 (400x300)

The folding shades that covered ceiling to floor shelving behind my sewing machines.

We have an appointment next Tuesday for the estimator to give us the lowdown on our basement windows. I am excited. There is a second side to that coin. Today, all – and I mean all – the shelves on the north wall of my sewing studio came down. Everything that was on those shelves has been cleaned.  The folding shades are now in the garbage.  During the decades when the shades could be raised and lowered it was wonderful to get at items on the shelves.  That ease has been gone forIMG_0177 (Mobile) some time as the mechanisms no longer functioned.  Eight 7″ x 12′ pine boards are now stacked on the floor so I could wash the painted white concrete blocks.  It will now be a breeze for the estimator and installers to access the two windows in time to come.  I really have not decided how that wall will shape up after the window project is done.  It will give me an opportunity to re-think what I need and where I need it.  It was a good day and nothing makes me more content than having had a good day of “local effort.”
