i got to get back to this one but we had some stuff going on over the weekend that diverted my attention
this is of course a shot from my middle girls loft
its a shelf that has a hidden door into her sisters room
this is the door in her sisters room
and opened up
i think all thats left is trimming it in on the loft side, to hide the rough cuts
and i got to figure out a interior door handle that doenst make it too obvious its a door, but still allows her to close it
(in case you're interested, here is a progress thread on it)

The first project.......since I was twelve, I've only had two jobs, one of which was a cook. As such, I've been known to be a bit enthusiastic about all things food. A few years ago I built this pantry, it's 7' tall, 2' deep, and over 6' wide. The pantry was full to overflowing to say the least. One danger of something like this, is that anything receding more than half way back on the shelf becomes invisible. Once entering the Dark Dimension, it may never reappear. During COVID, I was looking for something and realized I wasn't out of refried beans as I thought, I had 13 cans scattered in four places. This harkened back to a few years ago when I discovered I had 26 cans of tuna fish, all of them forgotten in the Dark Dimension.
So a few weeks ago I decided it was time to fix the mess. I took every scrap of everything out, sorted it by category, threw out the stuff that was YEARS out of date, and cleaned up the pots, pans, and other tools of the trade. Who really needs six crock pots? I'm down to just two now, one large and one small. Here's a photo of all the stuff as it came out of the pantry. It filled to overflowing a 42" round kitchen table, a 4' folding table, a 6' folding table, a full size pool table, and about 20' of shelving running down the side of the pool room. The photo below doesn't do justice to the situation, it only shows about 20% of what came out of there. EVERYTHING in the photo is food one way or another.
Once done, here's the new layout. The new rule in Chez Halfafish is nothing gets stacked up to conceal what's behind. No shelf can have hidden areas to allow a new infestation of the Dark Dimension. Everything is arranged by date to allow stock rotation. And really, I need to simmer down on being well stocked. The Red Army isn't likely to show up unannounced for dinner. It's not necessary to have provisions on hand to host dinner for a hundred at the drop of a hat.

Got the new furniture installed in the camper yesterday. Looks and feels better than the original when it was new. My official furniture tester had to be in the shot.

Dang, y'all have been busy. I have done a few little projects when I run out of car parts or money. Most have seen my roll around shop cart. My Dad broke his favorite old lamp and said for Christmas he wanted a new one. He's into bikes and I had some old bike plates and a bunch of hand held toolboxes so I built this. He seemed to like it.

I used to have a recurring dream as a kid.....Floods used to be an interesting thing to me. I grew up loving to swim too. The dreams I had often centered around me swimming around in flooded houses.

that reminds me of a joke
there are these three clergyman, a baptist, a catholic and a reformer who have coffee together once a week and discuss their differences in doctrine and what not
so one day they are in their local diner, and the topic of discussion is was prayer
the Baptist said "it is my conviction that prayer works best when im prostrate on the floor"
the Catholic says "no no no, prayer must always take place from a kneeled position"
the Reformer says "come on guys, physical posture doesn't affect prayer life, prayer is about your internal attitude
one of the locals, lets call him Dell, is a retired line man, and he always liked listening in on these conversations and usually he keep to himself, but this time, he decided to intermingle into the conversation
"excuse me guys" he says "but i have found i do my best praying hanging upside down from my safety lanyard on a 200 foot radio tower

I just finished restoring and tuning up a late 1950"s vintage tube ham radio receiver. The old bugger still receives as well as the new hi-tech receivers. The procedure for tuning it is here: National NC-303 Receiver Repair (not my website).
