Nearing the end of the Pantry Posts

[neadods]

Every single thing I've done with this pantry has come with a setback somehow - so much so that even though the end is nigh in sight, I'm consistently having anxiety attacks as I head home to deal with the task du jour. As I've got about three more days of work, this is not a good thing.

Having conquered the molding issue (molding straight. Wall not.), I get to find that I'm exactly 6 specialized screws short for the shelf-hanging job.

*headdesk*headdesk*headdesk*

The solution is going to be hanging all the shelving brackets using one or more fewer screws than required & touching up the yellow paint, but not hanging the shelving and moving stuff back into the pantry until there's another run to the store on Saturday.

*long, heavy sigh*

DIY actually means "Give Yourself a Headache. I've yet to see any job that didn't, and that includes watching guys who know their way around DIY.

I'd say you were doing really well, actually.

If you come down for the Tiffany exhibit in Richmond - are you coming down for that? If yes, I'd like to coordinate schedules - you can "ooh" and "aaah" and maybe even "murmur, murmur, murmur" at the result. Despite tonight's round of headaches (incorrect directions, screw*head* stripping), the first of the six support struts is up.

We are going to have So! Much! Space!

I want to come down, but the timing may be problematic. E-mail me and when I have brain cells to spark together I'll see what I can do.

I'll email when I have spare brain cells, which will be when the shelves go up.

I've got an absurd urge to sing:

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final portion.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've got a pantry that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

With apologies for the terribly rhyme in verse 1 (but it isn't yet 6am here and I'm half awake!)

*giggles* I feel I should apologise for what my silly, half-awake brain has inflicted on you...

Don't apologize. I was the one rewriting AC/DC for the cat!
