Good. House will now not collapse. The stressed joists in the cellar are splinted and there are two lally columns taking the pressure off. Slowly, every so slowly, we might get the crack to close. Then I can resurface the wall for cosmetic's sake.

Dennis also did the shelves so now, on these miserable hot and humid days, I can work on organizing the cellar and culling or photographing what needs to be sold. Oh, and also just plain cleaning and shovelling cat shit and cleaning that all out so I can put a litter box down there. I think I'm going down right now because there are some things I can put in the car immediately to take to Goodwill on Thursday.

Without trying, I found some more metal to add to the pile to sell to Harding Metals and I'll probably come up with some more right now.

Meanwhile, I sorted some more antique-ish stuff and found some early Portsmouth postcards (in sleeves) to store with the ephemera I want to sell. And old photographs, some of which are collectible. And another part of the Rover manual to put together with the actual manual and the MG manuals and take them to Brit Bits in Portsmouth to sell.

Got all of the last pressing of Tom's CD put together and into jewel cases, so that's decluttered from the table.

Got a lot of files out of the file cabinet to go into the bankers box for storage, but have to sort through those papers and also find where I put the plain vanilla manila folders so I can reclaim the pretty ones.

Later,
Linn
