Nice long talk with friends in Alberta tonight. Was good. Forgot to ask them what the weather is looking like out there.

Weather people say my area should hit 11C by Friday which is 52F. That will be nice.

Thanks Sigs. I'm so glad I had that extra floor to put in both of the closets. It really seems to be a quality product. It took forever to cut it in there like that without having the door jamb and trim installed on top of it (or without undercutting those with a tool that I don't have), but what's great about it is that it stays put without needing any adhesive. I did put an "X" under there with double stick tape in case I needed it, but I've yet to pull the top part off and affix it to the bottom of the floor. It doesn't appear to need it.

I could still easily go back and take it up if I wanted to whenever I get around to restoring hte 1st floor hardwood. That will probably be a long time from now because I'm running out of rooms that I don't care if people wear shoes. I might not even do it in the closets anyway though because I like how good the floor looks.

I still have enough of it to do one more similar sized closet, but I'm out of closets. There's one in the basement still, but that's the biggest closet in the house and the piece wouldn't be big enough for it. I've got a stack of those bench shelves I built in there with everything that used to be in the pantry and other various tools on it now.


If my sliding shelf idea works well in the pantry, I think I have a use for it still. I might make a soft-close pull out shelf in the kitchen in that garbage nook and trim out the sides of it after cutting a final piece out of that flooring to go on top of it. I'd probably build up a small piece on either side for easy pulling, rather than requiring you to get down on your knees every time you wanted to pull the trash bins out.

Back from my walk on a pretty nice day still. Maybe it will last all week. :)

Well, lots of clouds out but dry so far.

Real good start to the morning turned this computer on and then instead of hitting google, I hit the shut down button. So, I had to turn it back on again. *L* Also almost knocked over my coffee cup.

Anyways out in a bit to get some groceries.

Just cold again today. Cold again every day. Not seeing anything warm in the 10 day forecast.

At least it's not snowing.

The rain that was suppose to be here yesterday arrived today.

So I forgot my umbrella and had to come back and get it and when I was out, I lost $5.

So a strange day for me.
