Been working on shelves and shelving books all day and most of the night. Am about 2/3s of the way through with reshelving the books. And lack one 4 foot section replacing the 2 inch thick shelf with a 1 inch thick piece, one 4 foot 6 inch section adding a shelf and the 16 foot section moving it up about 2 inches as well as blocking off the last window on that wall. Have already paneled over two of them and I think I have enough scrap to do the last one as well. All in all should be done with this portion of the rebuilding late tomorrow baring unforeseen problems and/or interruptions. Then I guess I will start on insulating paneling the inside of the upstairs in preparation to building in shelving and cabinets on all the walls. Slowly, slowly eats the elephant…
About to call it a night. Till tomorrow… 😉
Spent most of the day building more shelving for our books. Added 21 linear feet in the living room by removing a door. Am working on adding the 20 feet just below the ceiling and raising the existing 16 feet to allow hardbacks to stand upright on the top row. Not sure that last sentence makes sense unless you’ve been here. Will try to get pix and post them soon to try to explain it…
Got 10 pounds, minus about a pound of skin and fat, of chicken leg quarters in the 14″ dutch oven and carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes along with salt, pepper, chives, parsley, basil and oil, in the 12″ dutch oven cooking for supper and a lot more meals later on.
Started moving the books on the shelves. Still got thousands to go, as well as adding in the ones that are piled on top of and in between and on the floor. Tis a never ending job or seems that way. And when we buy a hundred or more a week I guess it really is… 😉
Gonna go and check on the food and start clearing off the top shelf to raise it. May or may not post again later. Depends on many things. Till I post again… 😉
Didn’t get out today. Or not off the property anyway. Did get outside a time or two but soon returned to the couch or computer. Got some of the books we bought Friday put on the shelves or piled in the to-sell piles. Still got about half of them to go. Did a bit on a couple of websites and that’s about all. Tomorrows another day. Will see what it brings. Till then… 😉
The 7 Deadly Homemade Weed Killers
I can certainly think of the 7+ weedy sins of the garden but knowing how to cleanse my garden of these weeds is even better. Especially if it can be done cheaply and with household items. Murdering weeds is a fun past time.
So, for your reading enjoyment, here are The 7 Deadly Homemade Weed Killers, guaranteed to help you eradicate the weeds you find in your garden.
Good list of mostly nontoxic ways to kill weeds.
Boiling water is also a good nontoxic way to kill red ant hills. Just put a (long) stick in the center of the hill and move it in a circle to make a funnel shaped hole in the center and quickly pour the boiling water into the hole so it spreads throughout the hill and gets the queen and eggs as well as most of the workers.

Some interesting hidden drawers shown. The article is mainly an advertisement for the book Complete Illustrated Guide To Furniture & Cabinet Construction but shows a couple of interesting designs with enough detail to get the idea of how they are made. Neat stuff.
