• House Projects: 2008/05/26 Update

  Okay, one more project taken down! We joined in a block-wide garage sale, and I was able to get rid of the vast majority of the crap room crap. There are still a few items I'd like to put on eBay, since they might be valuable, but other than that the rooms are just about clear. Fantastic!

  I was also able to get rid of a bed, which means I'm down to two single beds to deal with. One of them will be saved until late June, for our honoured guest, but the other one's up for grabs if anybody wishes to have it. If not... we may have a bed in our living room. Still deciding what we could possibly do with it. Any ideas?
