The Kitchen and Craft Room Remodel

The morning started sorting out spinning and knitting magazines and putting them in workable order.  By 10 am I finished with the spinning magazines and put the duplicates in one of the Bookman's boxes. I have more magazines than I thought.  The box that was suppose to hold all the magazines is just about full with the spinning magazines.  This is going to turn into one of those "If you give a mouse a cookie" projects. Now I have to rearrange more boxes so that I don't have to buy more storage contIners. I am also going through patterns right now.  I think that should take a day or so.  

While finding more containers, I found more knitting books. They just barely fit into the allotted spaces. After the major work is finished I need to find time to reread the books to decide which books are really wanted now. I have some that I bought as a brand new knitter that might not be as useful to me now.  

On the remodel front some walls were patched. A kitchen light was installed. And a little more painting was done, the rest of the painting will be done on Monday. I also took a picture of the inside of the new light fixture. Look how small the transformer is.  We also said goodby to our old fridge.  

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff is a delightful children's book that both of my children enjoyed. You will also enjoy the illustration by Felicia BondIf you have not read this book to your children or grandchildren please take time to do so.  

Kitchen and Craft Room Remodel

Today Kevin finished installing the dish washer.  It runs very quietly. We just need the panel for the insulation to be complete.  John also installed the first phase of the craft room remodel. I worked on organizing the craft room until I was too sore to move. I really wanted to do more tonight, but if I want to sleep I need to switch to knitting or spinning. This is one of those times that I really hate the arthritis.  

Today's Boo Boo's

The first picture is what I walked into this morning.

At least I was not home for the discovery of today's remodeling boo boo. It turns out that the kitchen counter to fo low to slide the dish washer in place.  I think I am getting really tired of a boo boo a day.  So the current count is 2 counters that need to be fixed.  However I am really excited that I now have a deadacated sink to wash yarn and fiber in.  

The shellfs also arrived for the craft room.  I wonder how full I can pack them? This means that the next phase of remodeling will start before the first phase is finished. I think I will just go along with the craziness for now.
