Need it by Saturday morning. Guess I need to get busy if I am gonna get it done by then. For now need to go to bed. Till tomorrow folks…

27 necklaces, 9 pair of ear rings, 2 leather bags, priced and labeled and ready to display. Now to see about building a display cabinet.

About half way through with pricing jewelry. Back is hurting from leaning over so much. Gonna have to get up and walk around a bit.

the truck before it gets here. Back in a few…

Need to price jewelry first though. Guess I need to get started on that. Sounds like another storm coming in so need to get stuff out of

Still made gas money, though not much more. Getting close to time to hit the sack so we can do it again tomorrow.

Ended up taking the loaded totes after all. Day was somewhat productive even though not as much business as we had hoped for.

With the weather not sure I am gonna try to take the totes I packed last night. Will decide after eating.

Late getting up due to rainy morning and trying to get just one more bit of sleep. Coffee done and getting in the bloodstream now.

Am about done in. Gonna hit the sack and try to get up earlier than usual in the morning so we can get there around 9. So till tomorrow…

Packed 3 totes of glass, copper, silver, ceramics and other assorteds. One tote of books. Will wait till morning to load it up.

Supper is done. Both cooked and eaten. Am trying to get up the energy to go into the living room and start unloading shelves and boxing.

Though I guess supper comes first. Got to get up to do whatever I do so am gonna sit for a few more minutes and let the feet rest…

Home after long day of repricing, cleaning, sorting, shelving, and dealing with folks. Made a few sales. Now to pack stuff to take tomorrow.

Ea…

Keep telling myself it’s just bruised. Yep, that’s the ticket… 🙁

Also dropped a shelf bracket on my foot and feels like it broke a toe. Will know more when it warms up. And I take my shoes off. Does hurt.

Back from the storage trailer. Got 3 different batches of baskets. Will see what works and what doesn’t. + some other stuff.

Then back here to load more stuff so theres a full truck load. Next need to pack some stuff we sold on Bonanzle to go out tomorrow morning.

Supper on the stove and in microwave. Afterwards going over to the storage trailer to get a truckload of stuff to take in the morning.

Plan to work on the rocket mass heater over the spring and summer and have it ready for use in the fall.

of angle iron that is bolted to the tower. Shouldn’t be able to go anywhere. Hopefully this is the last cleaning/teardown of the year.

the bottom 24 inch section of pipe. Had one that was used but still good that I put on. Tis now all wedged into place with a cross piece

Well flue is back up. With some new pieces. There was more damage than I thought. Got the male/male fitting repaired but had to replace

Then after we had filled up 9 bags between us they talked to me and offered everything that was left for one price. So we took it all. 😉

Still got to go through and see what all we got. Lots of the time when we first got there it was just glance and stuff in a bag.

But got it all loaded. Twas a good haul. Next sale in sometime in April also up on East Side Anniston. Looking forward to it.

Had to take the gas grill apart to get it loaded. Unboxed a lot of the other stuff and stuffed and poked it into every available space.

So we bought everything left in the carport. Just managed to get it loaded in the truck and didn’t have a square foot that was left empty.

Back from the Estate Sale. And then the trip to Piedmont to unload the groaning truck. They made us an offer we couldn’t refuse…

About to get ready to head out for an Estate Sale. Not sure we will get anything but tis the last day and there are usually bargains.

Guess I need to go in and dish up breakfast. Back in a bit…

Also got to clean the flue which means taking the stack down to repair the male to male connector with the rusted out rivets. 🙁

Coffee is starting to work. Got things to do today that I really don’t want to do but need heat so firewood has got to be cut.

Long Saturday: But not a bad day overall. Got a fair amount of stuff done. Light in second room is now working o…

Need to make sure the google voice phone # is working with all the phones and use it for the computer repair bit I guess.

Starting to get some folks in wanting computer work. Gonna work up business cards either tonight or tomorrow for that branch of the biz.

Just caught up with reading the days backlog of tweets. Had a good day at the store. Made a little money so am working here tomorrow.

Finally home again. Actually been here for about an hour but been busy with fire, supper, and such getting home late things.

Fixing to shower and drape the frame. Tis past time to be on the road. Till later, folks… 😉

Coffee done and 2 cups in me. Am starting to come to life. Most of the stuff for todays trip packed and ready to go. Food almost ready.

Coffee refusing to boil. 🙁 Hoping it will do so soon. Need to get food cooking too. Back in a bit.

Friday and done: With the day that is. Got the light up in the second room. Still got to replace one of the tomb…

First supper. Then hunt for assorted bits. Back in a bit.

And done. Now to find the small brass nails to fix the bottom of the mirror tray. Think some are in the front of the qhut and more at barn.

Will carry a new socket and two more bulbs tomorrow and get that bit finished up. Need to get the tables out and put them in the truck now.

Got the light up in the middle room. Got to replace one of the tombstones that was broken. Still got 2 tubes in it so gives good light.

Home finally. Woodburner shoveled out. Fire started. Felines fed. Supper warming in microwave. Getting caught up on the world online.

Will think about it further after the coffee has time to start waking me up a bit. Got to start getting up/going to bed earlier.

Coffee is done. Oatmeal is cooking. Sun is out. I’m still tired. Need to go and load a pile of shelves and see what other product is boxed.

Another day, another ???: Got the other upright for the shelving and loaded a pile of boxes this morning and haule…

@ScionBoo Didn’t know I had a twin but they do run in the family. 😉 Twas not me as I was in Piedmont at that time. Will ask mom about it.

@ScionBoo Thanks for the heads up on the fuel prices. Had jumped 7 to 10 cents in Jacksonville but got it in Anniston before price increase.

Hump day: Took down 20 feet of shelving this morning after unloading and boxing the stuff that was on it, and it w…

However looking at what is there now and what has still got to go up there I am beginning to doubt that we will have much space for books.

Suspect we are going to have more shelves of fragile stuff in the 3rd room. Wanted to try to use the 2 back rooms for mostly books.

Quickly filled all the available shelves. Got to put the rest up first thing tomorrow and see if we can get the rest unpacked.

Anyway after getting the 3 sections up Cat put up the shelves and we started unpacking more glass, china and other breakables.

Still got 2 on the other wall and 1 on the front wall to go. Lack 1 upright. Will have to tear down more at the storage building tomorrow.

Then 2 pieces of grid wall by the back door. Then put up 3 sections of shelving. 1 on the back wall by the grid wall and 2 on the side wall.

Ate lunch and then cleared space in second room to start putting shelving up. Got one piece of pegboard up by the door.

Tore down 20 feet of shelving after unloading and boxing stuff up, this morning. Loaded shelving parts up and took them north.

Empty totes and assorted tools of destruction loaded in truck. Heading out to unload and take shelving down, then north to put it back up.

Not so cold morning here in east Alabama. Thought it was supposed to freeze overnight but doesn’t seem to have. Coffee finally ready. 🙂

Snowy Tuesday: Awoke to rain several times during the night and early morning. Changed to snow midmorning and got…

Tis time to hit the sack, so till tomorrow folks… 😉

And this is Tweet # 1234 ! Which is some kind of a milestone I guess. At least one that says I tweet too much… 🙂

Right now it’s just gonna be Yard Sale Inside.

As for a name, I keep leaning toward “Eclectic Things” or “Old And In Our Way” or maybe “Needful Crap”… 😉

When I say printing signs, I meant signs like “We Break, We Cry – You Break, You Buy” and “Please request help with items on top shelves”.

Printing signs for the store. Guess we must be getting closer. Still go to come up with a name and work up some business cards.

But that means taking down the stuff at the storage trailer. Guess I am gonna go over in a bit and get started boxing things up.

Have now filled almost every square inch of shelf space and grid wall that’s up. Gonna have to move into the second room and put up more.

Digging in the front of the qhut and found 4 more boxes of glassware and assorted breakables that need to go north.

Just got back. Fire is starting up now. Cat is down feeding the felines. I’m being lazy and catching up on the world/twitter since morning.

Went on as we were only 2 miles away and turned out that was the worst part of the trip. Unpacked and shelved stuff all day long.

Made the trip after all. Started really snowing when we walked out the door but went anyway. Got close and the road was getting covered.

Or actually from Alabama line to Atlanta and areas north. Don’t know if we’ll get to Piedmont today or not now. Need caffeine to think…

Knocking the snow off of them is getting old. Coffee is on but not perking yet. Weather radio just went off for Georgia – Atlanta north.

So it’s snowing or at least slushing out there now. Starting to get a buildup on the temp carports. Gotta get real storage built.

Been a day: And a Monday at that. Got a load up and headed to Piedmont this morning. Got there and tore down the…

For now am calling it a night, so till tomorrow… 😉

Hoping they are wrong. Will have to wait and see. If it does will most likely be around here for the day. If not will be at Piedmont.

Done the supper thing. Been catching up on feeds and such. Am about done in for the night. Supposed to have snow in the morning. 🙁

I gotta figure out what to fix for supper. Guess I need to get in there and go at it. Later folks…

Which means that we have to box up more stuff to get the shelves down. Tis another sequential vortex. Cat’s gone down to feed the felines.

Breakfast, shower, more loading done. Now a quick trip to the storage trailer and heading north. Back much later…

With breakfast in there somewhere too. Mustn’t forget that bit. Tis cooked and ready to serve, just not on the table yet. 😉

Truck is about 2/3 loaded. Got to shower and drape the frame, then go to the storage trailer and get a couple of more things and go north.

Coffee is done and am thinking about what all can go in the next load to Piedmont so guess I am getting into work mode.

Reasonably awake earlier than usual. Guess the bod is saying that there are things to go and places to do. Or something like that anyway.

Shelving Sunday: Moving it that is. Started the morning after coffee with finishing taking down the last bit in t…

the second room for the shop and have sales and books in the back two rooms. Bit by byte eats the elephant… 😉

And more than enough stock to fill at least 2 if not 3 of the 4 rooms. Rethinking the area to do the computer repair. Think I am gonna use

to move to the store but at present there is enough up there to start stocking the front room once we get it put up.

Done with moving stuff for the day. At least moving it from here to there. Still need to take more shelving down from the storage trailer
