Picture Post Card of our Current Struggle
I should probably be doing something else, but here are some pictures I took last night.
First, here is the interior of my son’s closet. It was in pretty bad shape, so there wasn’t much to salvage or restore except the low beadboard ceiling which we’ve left. Kenny used some wood left over from all of our cabinets.
Second, we have photos of our nearly primed (two coat) master bedroom ceiling. Sadly, it just looks like a less flaky version of the original ceiling.

Third, we have the arched doorway from the kitchen to the back edition. Kenny finally trimmed it out which was a tricky job.
Fourth, we have the ever growing stack of cabinet doors for the living room built-ins. Once he’s finished with building them all, Kenny is going to take them to a cabinet factory in Pottsville (15 minutes away) to have them fit with "invisible" hinges.
And, that is pretty much it aside from the new thresholds for the front and back doors (sorry no pictures). Until we get moved out of our current house, the Devil Queen will be on our back burner for now.
I’ve scrounged up about 6 good sized boxes for our move which means I’ll only need 25-30 more. Guess what I’m doing tonight?

Liquor stores are great places to get boxes, usually. The boxes are small but very sturdy and perfect for books and things.
You read my mind. Might have to get some other things while I'm there too.
It’s really coming along nicely. Man, all that bead board is incredible. That would cost a fortune to duplicate today. It is so great that you saved it.
Thanks. The beadboard is one of my favorite features. There is something so satisfying about all that old wood.
As for the "good" liquor store destroyed by the tornado, the Lord works in mysterious ways. It has risen from them dead, bigger and better than before. The owner got a huge check from the insurance company, and built a new store about 4 times bigger than the original one. It openned two or three weeks ago.
They burn their boxes and keep them in a wire "cage" until its time to burn them. So, no crawling into a messy dumpster. Filled my car up yesterday, and I'll be back tonight too.
