Lots of Leftovers!

Usually I have some leftover wood with kits... however... This is ridiculous!

I think that the volume was half house and half leftovers on this one.

As soon as I am finished here, I have to go get a garbage bag and fill it!

I told Tessie that it would go faster if she would at least separate all of the shingles...  I have never seen her move so fast!

She must really want that vacation!

I still have another sheet to finish marking and cutting apart. Marking the pieces on this house I is definitely necessary.

I do believe that the kit makers need to sharpen their knives.  I had to go over most of the pieces with the exacto.  Not very many popped out the way that they usually do.

One more thing to show you before I go back to work.

I felt so guilty yesterday, about starting on the mini house before I finished cleaning the disaster area, that I went in and started cleaning...

I now have the whole center of the room cleaned from the floor up!  Every little bit helps. 

Now for the outer edges... Back to work.

See you tomorrow.

Tessie to the Rescue!!!

Tessie solved the workroom cleaning problem... Kind of...

When I went in that direction to clean this morning, this is what I saw.

How could I ignore a sign that is protecting me from harm? 

She didn't even bother to take the old sign down. She just slapped this one over the old one with some scotch tape and was trying to get down when I caught her. Literally.  If I hadn't, she would be in a heap on the floor in front of the door.

When I asked what she was doing, she replied, "I am saving you a LOT of time!   Now you won't have to keep at the never ending job of cleaning...  If you would like, I could make another sign that says that there is a bomb inside!"

Again, how could I argue with that?  Time saving is a good thing.

Then the rest of the plan was outlined... "If you don't have to clean, you can make me a vacation tiny home.  After all, it is summer and I need a vacation!"

Well. I have to admit it.  I would rather be doing a nice mini cottage than clean that stupid workroom!  It's icky!

By the time I got back from the workroom she had enlisted Zar to help drag the box from under the bed.  I got a photo of the outside and then she zapped it open... Please note that the directions have, once again, been thrown aside. 

To quote her..."We don't need no stinking directions!  You can do it with your eyes closed!" 

I am not even going to try to explain to her that I do need both eyes open to do this.  However I do it, she won't complain as long as I get it done so that she can have her vacation...

She has been watching too many of the "Tiny House" shows on HGTV.  Now she insists that I make her one... Oh well.  At least I won't be starting from scratch.  It is basically a tiny house kit.  It has a main floor that can be an open space.  And there is a loft for the bedroom...

Please don't tell her that there is no place for a bathroom in this kit... We may be making an outhouse from scratch.

Wish me luck.  I am going to need it.

Back to the kit.  No room cleaning today.  See you tomorrow.

Not Enough Time in a Day!!!

 I am sure that some of you have already found this version of E-6000.  I found it at Walmart yesterday and decided to try it.  I would love some opinions from those of you that tried it.  What did you think?

I will probably use some of it when I finish the telescope... I hope that it's as strong as they claim!

 When I got home from shopping this morning, the bed looked like this. 

The Terrible Two explained that they were checking to see that everything was in the box, that was supposed to be there... It was... Now I get to put everything back in the box... I think that they thought that, if everything was out of the box, I would have to put it together...

Wrong-o!  I still haven't put the beads back in the bag that they came in.  It is tempting to start a new bracelet or two...

Yes.  That is the telescope and yes, it is still in the same state that it was when you last saw it... But now I have to put everything away before I can start on it again.  Two steps forward... Three steps backwards...  That's how my days seem to be going this week...

I am putting my foot down.  Tomorrow is the start of a new work week... I am going to be working!!! I promise!

Back to clean up duty.

See you tomorrow.
