Pantry

One night it came to me. I got my mind around a project that hadn't previously been on my radar. I'd turn our old cluttered back hallway into a pantry.

Voila! Halfway done. It cost about 150 for the lumber used so far and took about two days. (All weekend.) Simple dado cutting on the radial arm saw, as before, but in pine this time. I shellac'd half of it, but will shellac it all before too long.

The previous weekend I spent refinishing the wood floors in there, after pulling up a tired flat carpet left over from the 1950s or earlier. Twas the same carpet pad I recognized from redoing the floors on the first and second floors.

Work continues...my health is stable in these somewhat stormy fall skies.

Kitchen Next

See that old 1970s flooring? See those cheapo kitchen cabinets? This kitchen is the next thing to get worked on...and it's gonna be sweet. Nice action photo, eh?

Note to self: I have no idea how long this will take me. A couple of months. Six, or seven weekends? My marriage probably needs less wood cut and more finished kitchen...very soon. Very soon. And then onto the next pj.
