THE PANTRY:
I got this finished last night, a day ahead of schedule (and with a considerable amount of help with M.) Remember when I said I wanted to spend no more than $300? Hollow. Bitter. Laughter. On the other hand, I now know how to patch drywall, remove linoleum adhesive, lay sheet linoleum, use a combination sander, and a power roller.
The next deadline is externally imposed: July 10 is the last day to drop off donations for the Team Wench yard sale. So I have 4 weeks to comb through the clutter in the library and the kitchen cabinets.
Before: a 6 x 4 space with a set of doors blocking off 2-foot deep shelves in the back:
Gytha supervises in the middle of the project:
The original 1930s linoleum. Like Cthulu, the horror continues to slumber beneath the surface:
The pantry triumphant! We've made it a bit intimate in there with such wide shelves, but the storage space is beyond our dreams:
This kitten...
... has grown into this cat:
Ever since he ran away, he's been forced to wear not just a collar and tag, but a leash and harness when he goes outside. Well... that's the theory, anyway. He has a definite opinion on the subject.
Gytha has turned from the seal point kitten to a motley mutt, markings-wise. But she keeps doing insane (and photogenic) things, like dance along the rafters in the basement.
Or be the picture of martyred suffering when getting her claws clipped.
The reading chair at the crazy cat lady house:

Date: 2010-06-13 08:43 pm (UTC)To tell the truth, I don't know the official rating on the shelves. They're from the Container Store because those were the strongest; at the display room here they have a Kitchen Aide standing mixer on one and I hefted it - it's real (and real heavy.) Strong enough to handle everything we've put on it, but not strong enough to handle one of us putting our weight on it to help lever ourselves up. (ahem. Fortunately, we had extra brackets.)
