Oh. My. Gosh! I forgot all about your newly repaired washer, I have been so wrapped up in my own misery! My bad!
Since I’m still a little keyed up from the day, I will be here for a while. *sigh* Pink drink would have been good for a relaxer....
Maybe tomorrow, if I feel up to it, I will break down the one side of the bookcase and do it properly, and then Monday, I can begin with the BOOKS!!!
It will be nice to have a clean patio. I’m still trying to decide what to do with an old discarded electronic equipment crate (military) that I have packed around with me for 40 years. Right now, it holds papers, but I need to shred them and get the crate ready for something else.
If I used it in front of my sofa, I would have to strip it from the army green that it is and paint it a color that matches the rug, but that poses dilemmas of its own. How do I strip the paint off the metal that encloses it, and what could I put in it to utilize the storage bonus?
You can strip the paint off metal with a wire brush, either by hand on with a Dremel or other power tool ... but it seems like you could just put a new color of Rust-oleum over the previous color.
Bedtime has arrived here, as soon as I kick the byos back to bed. I hear thumping and thrashing overhead! Jake wants to go out, but he can wait until morning.
