It breeds, dammit

I want a laundry room, where I can lock all the clean things away and issue them one at a time to abject supplicants. It is completely unreasonable that we do so much laundry and still have so much dirty. We must just have too much in circulation again.

I need to list things on Freecycle again too. We have a couple of rubber-backed children's rugs which I find too tedious to wash.

I begin to think emptying the attic into the spare room is the way to go - it's the easiest way to get Rob to get rid of things - but we want the spare room ready for 3-4 guests in April.

And we need to design and make custom shelving for the front room.

I once hired a removal van, with an electric tail drop, to sit in our drive for three days. I emptied the spare room into. Painted the spare room 5 coats of dragon blood red. Put up all the shelving, and unloaded the van back into the room.

It works very well, if the drive and the spare room are three feet from each other. (Everything is three feet from anything else in this house. Okay, I lie, it's easily 8 feet from the living room, to the drive.) The van company were bemused, as the van had not moved one foot from when they delivered it. But it did mean I could do everything on my own, in a very short space of time.

We painted over that dragon's blood red, for beige, for The Nursery. Which was never slept in. I still grieve! Although we did use it for Hugh, a lot, and I don't think the colour would have been good in any event. :-)

I detest beige walls. I've spent my life painting out ten year old magnolia in rents... the entire house was magnolia when we moved in, from the wash the builders put on. We were forbidden by the lease to paint for an entire year... I also find the term 'magnolia' on paint tins that are beige, an insult to magnolias...
