Fuzz and Junk
I was wading through all the pictures on the digital camera and found these.
Here we have a mountain of house junk. It’s mostly light fixtures on other assorted fixtures waiting for the long promised day of completion. Once the last coat of paint goes on to the ceiling in the hall, the porches, and any other number of rooms these babies will finally replace our lovely selection of bare bulbs.
I know, you’re thinking, “So what?” Really, getting this pile reduced to this size is a great accomplishment. Just a few weeks ago, this entire room was filled with building materials and junk. Shrinking piles = progress.

Some fates cannot be avoided. Here is what happens when you don’t plug top of a window weight pocket and blow insulation into the wall. Somehow Kenny and I both missed this one. It doesn’t look like too much here, but I filled an entire contractor sized garbage bag with this stuff. I probably spent 45 minutes bagging and vacuuming up this crap. Blown insulation is like sand on the beach, it works its way into every crack. Not fun.

Sweet pile-reducing joy! We have reduced infinite piles, (bricks, bottles, wood into dumpsters and every sort of stuff onto jobs) by infinitesimal increments. The vanishing pile is a thing of beauty!
PS Your milk-paint courage impresses me deeply. But your superb description of the process has also convinced me that I lack the strength of character for milk paint. Thanks for the insight!
