Should have said closet rods rather than curtain rods. 😁 I was actually thinking about using curtain rods for a little bit. The closet is only 10 inches deep and clothes won't fit hanging sideways like they normally do, so I had to get a little creative. I ended up using black iron pipe fittings to create 3 separate short rods that run front to back rather than one long rod that runs side to side. It's in the guest bedroom so guests will at least have room to hang 5-6 items on each of the 3 rods. My daughter just sent a couple of pictures. She got new bulbs for her "new" chandelier, and she gave us an "after" shot of cleaning her stained-glass window. She found the chandelier at a thrift store, and it needed a lot of cleaning and a little rewiring. Looks great in her foyer. You can't really tell from the picture, but a couple of the stained-glass panes are cracked and some of the panes are loose from missing lead. She'll need to find someone who fixes stained-glass windows. That's well beyond my skill set. I did however build a new wooden frame with a plexiglass insert that's mounted and sealed outside of the stained-glass window. It lets in light but my daughter won't need to worry about bugs or cold air coming in from the cracks. The light on the newel post is different. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks cool, but it's located right where I want to place my hand when grabbing the handrail to go upstairs. 🤷♂️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 21 #128028 Share Posted August 21 Feeling like new empty nesters, we are slowly getting back to our normal routine of longer hikes and walks. Our church owns quite a few acres of land, and a farmer leases part of it to plant crops. This year, he agreed to plant sunflowers, several rows deep, along the outer edge. Weather was not nice enough Sunday for photos, so I went today fo a couple pictures. One of the local photographers has been using it for a nice background. 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen one at a thrift shop here. Edited August 21 by aussielozzie18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not stayed in one but went to see the cabin as it was occupied by a friend from cc. It is not any "bigger". It seems smaller, but it is a square so that makes it feel spacious. Also no sofa. There is the armchair that you see in the picture above with the backpack on it. The wall does have the windows which "opens" it up spatially and it feels open and bright. Bathroom is identical. Everything else is the same. Theirs was on deck 7, but those on deck 6 above the "smoking bus stop stand" have mixed reviews on noise and smoke...bothered some, did not bother some. I have also seen a solo square (Anthem) and an inside square ( can't remember ship, but probably the same one). I do love deck 6 for its proximity to everything. I also like the balconies at the very front with the round openings. Have stayed in them. The balcony does not feel any smaller or restricted and is excellent for those who want shade and sun.....little bit of all. Hi Sis, You like my backpack😁 I always enjoy the 80 +/- sq' balcony that comes with these square cabins. And there is a regular walk in shower (rectangular or square I cannot remember). That is bigger than those capsule showers. I'll take some photos and share in March. Edited August 22 by Sunshine3601 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a secret organizing trick, that I am not familiar with? ☺️ Movers are coming on Aug. 30. Hopefully I can drive by then. I am getting around with the walker and short walks with a cane. So happy to hear that you are doing better and able to get around😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can get my teeth cleaned before oct. When i leave for a month on harmony. Why can’t they do them at the same time? Our dentist has always done them on the same day.

Well that post was a while ago I guess. They did wind up doing them the same day, with maybe a 30 minute wait in between. In between I was presented with a aetna dental plan and prices with it and without. They had measured all my teeth the gums pulled away whatever they call it, 3 3 2 2 4 5 6.. those and said the regular cleaning only does the surface, I have some molars in the back with deeper holes to my gums. I have had a long history of dental problems, probably have extra saliva. So I had to pay for a deep cleaning to get my teeth cleaned below the surface which actually didnt take that long, just waited while they did another patient. I now have a 5 year dental plan I didnt have before. Very different dental office. Kinda of a black vibe and fancy machines. I'd had a couple of implants and paid 1k twice for a around the head xray which they did here included. It's also right past bldg A here, so I could walk there easily though I'd have to go out and around our fence on the street but it's the very next bldg after the first bldg of my condo. I go back in Nov for a regular cleaning. We will see if all she did worked. Never worked before but hey I'll keep the faith. She squirted antibiotic below my gums to make them heal up better. Next time she will do a fluoride treatment. If she can get my gums so they dont need cleaning so often and dont have issues I'll work with them. Worth a try. I'm guessing they often charge for deep cleaning the way the receptionist acted when I kept trying to make a cleaning appointment and she kept saying we need to determine what kind you need. At least I was able to get it all done the same time. Edited August 22 by firefly333 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think many realize how much time, and their own money, goes into getting things ready. I think this was the 4th time I was there to lend her a hand in hanging things. Five years ago, my son's teacher from second grade (who I'm still friends with) posted a fundraiser of sorts on FB where people pledged a $9 donation to be used to buy a student a Scholastic 99-cent book each month. I think it only took a couple days for her to fill up all 24 spots -- most of us covered more than one student. Most of the students in her classroom were unable to purchase books each month when the Scholastic flyer came out, but they'd all get excited over the order form anyway, even though only a few would get to make a purchase. Every month, there is always one book available that is only 99-cents, and with 24 people pledging $9, that would get a book a month for all 24 kids in her classroom. Last year and this year, I took money from a extra shift and covered the cost for the whole class. She tells the kids that they have a Book Fairy Godmother that bought the books for them (I don't let her give me credit). I know what a game-changer it would have been for me to be able to get a free book as a child, and if I can help just one child learn to love reading, it's totally worth it to me. 24 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But summer's not over -- forecast is for 80 on Friday, then higher each day this weekend, up to 89 on Monday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
