I discovered this Sunday night, but somehow managed to block it from my memory yesterday until I entered the bedroom again last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/diffuse/4902794994/. There is a single wooden rod that runs the entire length of the closet (about 8 feet). The plastic rod holder at my end broke off around the screw that was holding it. I don't know which item was the last straw, but Mr. ragdall and I are both guilty of keeping far too many articles hanging there. Before I went to bed Monday night I installed a new rod holder, drilled a new hole for the centre support, which was ripped from the wall when the overburdened rod fell, rehung the rod and far too many clothes. Closet weeding is somewhere on that very long "to do" list. I think it will need to bump its way up nearer the top.

I've been lazy today, have been doing updates and maintenance on a couple of group websites I created. I scanned a photo of the overhead ladder set that I made for my children 30+ years ago. http://www.flickr.com/photos/diffuse/4893563786/ Looking at the scan has been motivating me to get back to finishing the one in progress, but I shouldn't work outside today because of the smoke.

I may try putting some of my photo display images into the freezer for a few minutes then using dental floss to remove the double-sided tape from the backs of them and their mounting boards. I wonder if it will work?
