House projects


I haven't been exactly full of energy the past few days, so it's good that someone around here keeps busy. Shown in progress, but now finished, is the new red accent wall (next to Jerry's knee you can see the sage green it used to be). Quite a project, since it involved taking all the books out of the shelves, and somehow evolved into sorting them. I got rid of three boxes of anthro books that I haven't looked at in 25 years. Anyone want them? (Except I think that after they languished on Freecycle for a bit we took them to the dump.)
Anya was amused at the red wall because Jerry had objected so strenuously to her and Max painting one of the rooms in their previous house red. Jerry says it just goes to show about old dogs and new tricks.
Jerry has also replaced two bedroom windows this week. He's beginning to run out of projects. Maybe a moat or a turret?

When we lived in NY, Carol and I built an outdoor aviary out of redwood. That was a fun project.
