Been busy this am. Got the rest of the wood cut and stacked under cover or inside. Big pot of assorted dry bean, ham, brown rice, celery and carrots cooking on the Ashley. Old beans and rice cleaned out of the kitchen center top shelf and thrown out for the birds, and whatever other critters that are interested.
Still thinking about getting the parlor stove and putting it in here (living room of 12 wide). Got the flue pipe, metal for the window and ells. Only thing missing is a shield for the wall and carpet. Was out looking at the old water heaters yesterday afternoon and the outside metal housing on them would work just fine. May go out in a bit and try to remove it from one and see how much trouble it will be to get it off and cut to use. Another possibility is refrigerator doors. Got some that are metal and foam and others that are metal and fiberglass.
As it is raining/sleeting right now I am not sure when I will be able to get to that. Got to go to the folks to get my handtrucks if I do try to put it in. I suspect it would be a good idea though I have got about 9 gallons of kerosene for the kerosene heater which should carry us through any power outage that may occur if this does turn into an ice storm.
And on that vein I guess I need to go to the 14 wide and get the kerosene lanterns just in case.
3 days of bean soup. tuneful toots.
Question: Why do farts stink?
Answer: So deaf people can enjoy them too.

Getting closer. To total insanity. Every time I think I am closing the gap on gotta do's that sucker takes a running leap at the horizon and disappears.
We got the first 2 loads moved into the 12 wide. Almost got them arranged. Several times a day. Got it figured out on the next load too I think. Still leaves the China cabinet to go. Where I am sitting is the logical place in this trailer to put it. And I don't have to be here. But where I want to have my office doesn't exist yet. So.
The living room south wall from the sofa to the west corner is going to be occupied by the 12 foot long book shelf. Tis about 3 feet high so we can put the wire video shelves on the wall from the top to the ceiling. Should be able to get 4 video shelves over each 4 foot section. As there is a window in the middle that will be 8 shelves total. Which should just finish out the video (tape and dvd) storage requirements.
We have got to get a dvd burner to transfer the tapes to disk with. I hate the expense in both time and money but if not done soon a lot of them will be unusable. Some of them are already damaged but I think we can record most of them. Another project…
Tv and assorted equipment will go on the sideboard for now. Will put something on top of it to protect the surface. Should get the equipment up to a good height. At least I hope it will work there. If not we will move the old couch into the back room where the tools are now and put the sideboard where on the living room south wall next to the book case. The other china cabinet will fit over here next to the north wall between the front of my desk and the other couch. Recliner will be in front of it. May move the old couch anyway and put the chair now on the north wall there which will allow moving the north wall couch east another 3 feet and the recliner to move into the area thence freed. Only thing left to move is the round table that needs to belong to someone else anyway. May put it at pch for sale. Or yard sale it. Or picture and on ebay or BluespringsBazaar.com.
Qhut is different. Got the old computer table area removed so is open(er) now. Breakfast table is in there for now. Will move it somewhere when the dinningroom table comes over. Guess the greenhouse will be best for now. Got to get started on that bit too. SOON.
Second floor. got most of the materials. just got to move the plants. somewhere.
and now to sleep, perchance to dream…
