leenia, I spent a few years cutting down trees as a summer seasonal forester and fire fighter. I have that well under control.

I'm looking forward to the lights - I bought a string of 5 approx. 75watt (1000LM) bulbs on a 50' string. And the line itself works like an extension cord so I could plug something else into the end of it if needed. They will serve to light the central corridor/highest point through the unfinished attic. Sunday will warm up for better attic work again. I have a string of sparkling LED lights on my front porch that are festive but not very bright; this attic set is a construction-type of light string. When I moved in here we were still using incandescent and portable fluorescent were a thing. Halogen would be too risky, they get too hot. The lights up there haven't been updated in a really long time, and they're all plugged into portable sockets.

Good work on redistributing the books! You're lucky the tires were just low and none went flat! And I agree about the interesting objects that sit around a room - to have all of them gone would be unnatural in my world. I just hope to have a few clear surfaces to work on at the end of the day, and not have to turn sideways to enter a room.

Dorothy, I'm sorry to read about your friend. I lost one like that about 20 years ago, and it took a lot of processing to sort my reaction to his suicide. But he made a huge impact on the directions I have traveled. Still does today.
