Here are my Instagram photos for April, May, & June. There are waaaaaaaay more than usual because of being sheltering at home during the covid pandemic. It’s been really nice to be working from home from the Girl Cave, while Jim works downstairs in the dining room. And the cats LOVE having us home.
Building on my last post, here are 5 more little projects I’ve completed in the past couple of months. I also photographed my “honey do list”, at least the first page.
In May 2019 I started de-mousing our foundation. I got as far as doing the right side of the stoop and part of the front wall of the house while Darwin helped. In December I did the left side of the stoop, but it got too cold to do the front. I finally finished last week.
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.
Back in 2015 I published a page called “Flood of 2006” which chronicled the epic “100 year flood” of the Ipswich River and included photos taken by Flickr user waterpixi. 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.
