Beaver:
3 heavy weather days/NO energy days seem to be ending with SUN, high humidity and HOT - all in about an hour. I managed to get my Mexican rug back on the wall just now after thinking about it for 3 days. The ladder is not easy but possible for me to put down and then up, which I needed to do to get the rug up.

The ladder, like Mary Poppins is practically perfect in every way! It is beautiful cedar, finished to a smooth finish and varathaned with satin finish. When down it does not impede the doorway between LR and K and when up it is totally out of the way and beautiful! AND I can navigate it - up and down with no problem! I am SO happy to have this job done - and beautiful. There is room for an oldish trunk of fabrics and the beautiful old straight back chair "for Larry", with carpet so he does not have to de-boot. (This is not a de-boot type house!) The trap door is renovated to look better and hinged to open with ease. One more wonderful Dan job! When it dries outside - maybe tomorrow!he will paint the outhouse and finish high places on the shed that I could not easily reach. That may be it for this season - unless R has him work on the library. I need to save some money before spending more!

Now to plan a way to advertise and get people to beat a path to the door and, hopefully, buy some pottery! Possibly re-instate Keto diet... Have not gained back to lost 5 nor lost any more.
