little bits of progress, and plans for more

[kareina]

The old school piano is now pretty much disassembled, and the heavy metal inner bit (to which the strings had been attached) has been carried out to the shed awaiting a time when we have a clue what to do with it. Perhaps that much metal will be useful for something, or perhaps it will go Away, but that isn't today's decision. However, we still need to carry the other bits of the piano out of the living room. The wood will go to the shop to be used in other projects, and the strings, keys, and other piano-specific hardware will be saved in case anything goes wrong with the good piano and needs repair.

Tonight we take C to the train station, and then we have about a month to finish up the the changes that will be good to do before she and her stuff moves in. The down stairs pantry shelves are half done, and the boards that will make the other half have been through the planer and ready to cut to length. The single bed that came with the house has gone to a new home, and the first couple of shelves for the area the bed used to occupy (in the boiler room) have been built, and we are ready to start the next set.

We will need to build an extension to the guest room bed frame so that we can put the king sized mattress from our room on top of that frame, and then C's queen sized bed with the large amount of storage area underneath (the mattress rests on a surface which easily lifts up) can go into our room.

Once all that is done we have our eyes on things we want to do in the kitchen...

There's something about planning household-tetris projects that always fascinates me. One of these days (perhaps when I finally done something with all the bankers' boxes that are still sitting in the office part of my Great Room) I need to contemplate reorganizing furniture just for the fun of it.

That sounds fun to me, but then I have always loved re-arranging furniture. I suspect that regular re-arranging will help sctatch that itch to move that I normally would be feeling this long after moving in.
