Tempus Fugit

Well not really. I've been off the bike for 3 weeks now and it really sucks, because it definitely was a large part of my life. Hopefully I'll get on a trainer at the end of the week to spin and see how that feels, so far no gain because there's over proportionally high helping of pain while in riding position. Where the hole has been left however, house chores and projects that don't require lifting have prevailed.


Decided to change the pedestal into a shelf at the end of the kitchen area with the sink. Any use of vertical space in our house comes at a premium and this is a precious resource, since we've got a small pad.

Had to remove the dishwasher to access the back of the paneling.

Not that anything built in 1910 was plumb or level but it made for a good picture of "work".

The rough layout with everything in place.

Initial painting, more pictures to come when the project is done later this week.

Where the old cooking magazine and book rack by the back door went, we now have a small bench with storage shelf that was built from leftover scraps.

I think it's getting painted too.

Even the Polish are starting to lay now, which is impressive since it's molting season and much of the girls' calcium and protein reserves go to the production of new feathers. Pictured above is a "good hair day" for these goofy birds.

Soon to our assortment of colors, we will add generic white from the Polish when they are laying eggs big enough to sell.
