Paw-Paw's Piddle Palace

Post by LyleW »

Well, boy howdy. Here I am. Found the elusive, but messy, Piddle Palace. First time on well over a year that I've ventured into the space with any intention to work on the Ventura. Now, if I can only remember where I left off.....

Told you it was a mess.

And, being an unabashed copy-cat....should I finish anything this year, I'll put it here, like those that have come before.

You made it, Lyle! Never a doubt in my mind that you would brace the stairs and the palace at the bottom. Looks like a great place to get busy, so I hope you dust off whatever is closest to you and start crack-a-lacking or whatever you please. It is good to see you ready for action, sir. All the best.

Please tell your neighbors that you're up there. Otherwise somebody could call the cops when observing light and movement behind that window.
Cheers,

Or a priest because they might think it’s a haunting... :giggles:

I am not usually there in the evenings. My "best" hours are mornings and early afternoons. However, there are not really any neighbors on that side to notice any differences, so I think I am safe.

Spent a couple of hours yesterday down in the Palace. Space heaters still worked, desk lights still worked. Wireless keyboard dead as they come. Probably need some additional shelving. I have a lot of boxed kits scattered around - didn't realize how many there were that needed a place to gather dust.

There is an urge (or gas from eating beans and cornbread, oh Lordy. I could hover over the chair, but that is another story), to rearrange things, but I don't know just where I could move things. I have a lot of 'stuff' in there. . . spray booth, desk, shelves, 3 printers, silhouette cutter, ultrasonic cleaner, 250 or so kits, some books. Pictures may follow next trip downstairs. The computer I am on, doesn't seem to have what I wanted to post.

Now, if I can only find my camera. I am pretty sure it is in the house, probably on this floor. Need more coffee.
