Fridge Saga Continues

 Another delivery attempt is set for this Thursday for my new refrigerator. I hope they can accomplish it this time. 

I like to do things in order. In order to get my extra space in my cabinet, the new fridge needs to be in place. In order to finish assembling my coffee bar, new fridge needs to be here. In order for the lady of the house to be happy, new fridge needs to be in place.


This one of the pieces of the coffee bar. This will be the sides that hold up the main shelf, or table top. HeWho will be sawing off one side to create two "legs". The side most visible will be wider, with just about 4" for the other side leg. The top is cut form this same board. The two shelves will be cut from the other piece and I will have some left to play with.


I used bees wax for the finish. I love it! I didn't want to use poly, as it will yellow with time. The bees wax is perfect! I might make a charcuterie board out of a piece and finish it with olive oil. I doubt I will be setting out a display of meats and cheeses for just the two of us, but when company comes, it would be fun.

Now that the weather is becoming so pleasant, I am anxious to put together an outdoor kitchen to house the grill and pizza oven. I noticed some heavy duty solid plastic pallets on Market place. I think they were 3' square and only $3 each. I think that could make a nice "floor". I told HeWho drives that I only wanted 9 of them and then the poles to put a roof over them. Just tin. He stared at me like he couldn't hear me, you know, his standard look whenever I mention something involving the necessity for him to leave his chair.

Just a sneak peek at my coffee bar, I will take more pictures when I finish it.

      Seems so far away! It is cold today. 48 degrees and it will be like moving a mountain to get HeWho hayes to be cold outside to cut the shelves. He would cut them inside if I alloed it! That is not gong to happen!

      You and me, both! I seem to have spent my entire life motivating men to help me do the things I can't do. I would happily cut theshelves my self, but my hand will not holf the weight of the skill saw.

    The beeswax makes a nice finish. I hope you get progress on the outdoor kitchen/pizza oven.

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
