DIY Screen Door – Part 4
In May 2016 I completed a DIY screen door for the master bedroom. After 4 years of sun & weather the door is still going strong, but the paint DEFINITELY needed some TLC.

This is going to be a very boring post. I’ll get that out of the way right now. It details the continuation of my endeavor to replace our ugly brass hinges with silver colored ones.
Since I can’t really go to Home Depot [it’s not worth it unless it’s an emergency, and nothing is, so far], and since I can’t really go out [except to walk], I’ve kept myself busy with little projects.
In 2015 I built an outdoor cat enclosure, or “catio”, in our back yard. It’s something I’d wanted to build for a while, and finally convinced hubby the cats would [1] be safe from predators and [2] hidden from 99% of public view. We have a pretty small back yard and the 6’x6’x3′ catio takes up about 1/3 of it!
Back in 2015 I published a page called “Flood of 2010” which chronicled the 2nd epic “100 year flood” of the Ipswich River less than 4 years from the first, and included photos taken by Jim & Flickr user Paula Stephens. Last May I deleted it, but now it’s back.

The Fire Department was called in 2017 to the 3rd condo [first floor studio, which had been recently renovated and was empty] and I couldn’t reach the owner. Thankfully he showed up just as they were about to force the door, but it gave me an idea.
My last post about basement flooding was in June 2018. The only basement wall still in need of waterproofing was the long wall in Kathy’s cage, which borders the River.
I don’t like the new normal. Not at all. I am not good with change. It triggers my anxiety. And makes living with depression more difficult. But at the same time I am thankful for so much.
For Christmas hubby gave me a set of Chromatek watercolor pens which came with a pad of watercolor paper and access to 6 YouTube tutorials.
