A quick and easy project was putting up another shelf in the garage. This is where I can store pieces of wood to be used in future projects - a good use of space, I just have to remember to not block the vent above the doors for the room with the hot water heater.
After success with the guest room closet, it was on to the master bedroom joint closets.
As with the guest bedroom closet, there was only one shelf and one rod on which to hang clothes. Each side had the light switch built into the door frame so that when you open the door, the lights come on.
After removing the shelf, there was a lot of patching that needed to be done, in some places four coats of joint compound.
But the joint compound did the trick.
After a single coat of paint, it was time to install the shelves and move the clothes back.
The Flagstaff CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) not only allows us to get a bag of locally grown produce every other week (we bought a half share for the summer), but also has a store. Patty bought an order of produce and it included carrots with this interesting character.
After some trimming to fit the frames, I used the Amboise photos that Ben and Martha had sent me for my birthday and now have it on the wall in our master bedroom. We plan to regularly change the saying.
And all that work makes us hungry for a snack - chips for me, cheese puffs for Paulie.
And so another week passes - the numbers of infections and deaths seem to have plateaued in Arizona, but hospitalizations, ICU usage and ventilator usage all remain high, in the 80% or higher range. We have resigned ourselves to no travel in 2020 and maybe not even in 2021 (at least we will not be making any reservations any time soon).
