We're going to Golden Corral in Cleveland, TN tonight, about an hour from us, for Tom's free Veteran's Day meal. Hobby Lobby is right across the street
and that part of the trip is for my birthday which is in a week. Hope they have lots of yarn in the sale bins!
In honor of my b'day, our HUGE pre-holiday sale at Blue Roo is ending next Monday, November 18, so check out the slashed prices on some of the items, everyone! If you have questions about shipping costs on multiple items or any questions, just PM me or Ladyhawk here or at Blue Roo. The shawls/wraps are all buy more than one and only pay shipping for one. So, no matter how many you buy, you pay shipping for just one of them.
How does one get enough done in one day? I'm making stuff for the storefronts, now three of them since we have Ebay as well, and stuff for the family and I have to make time eventually to quilt my own queen size bed quilt I made prior to the house fire at the beginning of the year. Just can't get enough done!
In case you didn't read my blog post over there, we constructed a solid, mouse-proof door for our stand up crawl space which runs under the master bedroom and kitchen (the rest is actual basement). The doors were simple lattice and the floor in it is dirt so mice lived in the insulation under our floors ever since we moved here. No way to keep the critters out. Well, they cannot get in through the door now, period. BUT, the man who built the house didn't remove a couple of dead stumps from in there and the roots left nice little tunnels that mice are still using, ack! I've removed the stumps, which were completely old and dried up, but they had roots that go who knows where? Put rags soaked in ammonia into two tunnels and a mouse came out another one.
I have traps down there now and keep plugging holes, but I guess we'll have to forgo replacing any under floor insulation until we can pour cement on the dirt floor, an arduous task since it's about 34' x 10', a huge space. Can't afford to pay someone to do it. Maybe we can section off one area at a time, add a few bags, smooth it out, let it cure, then do another section as we can afford to do it, but that will take ages and we'll have to buy a float for the smoothing of such a large space.
Here are the old doors, then the new door. This door can be locked, unlike the other one.
New, improved door, which we did get painted gray like the concrete block walls B4 it was too cold. Ain't no mice getting through this one! At least, even with the tunneling, they don't have an open highway anymore.
