Thursday's Things

 We had a stump left from the city removing the flowering pear tree. It was time for it to go and they took it down with great fanfare. 

 

I was worried about the big hole they left me. So, in twenty more minutes, someone came by and filled the hole. I would have had to buy four or five large bags of dirt to fill it.  

 

This morning at eight in the morning a guy was out there grinding it all up into sawdust and dirt. He blew it all into the street and he left. I thought how could he do that as we are told not to mow grass into the street to keep it from the rainwater drain. So fifteen minutes later, just like our floor power robot, the city drove up with their power vacuum. They took three swipes at it and the street was clean again. Their vacuum makes a lot of noise and it is a different sound that one doesn't recognize. 

The project for the past few days was a shelf for my wife's art studio. She needed a shelf that she can use to display things by leaning them against the wall. 

 

I did it with an old creative design for an art room with a variety of bracket designs. Painted it white and it is hung on the wall already. 

 My wife has her own mobile in  her room hanging in the far corner. I don't go in there very often so I was surprised to see it when I looked up while measuring the wall. 

We have new neighbors that will be moving in soon.  The had fence people in today so that they will be putting up gates to finish up their backyard.  It will be intersting to see where they will place them on each side of the property. I said to my wife that maybe they have a dog. We will see.

Thanks for stopping by today.
