Minor house improvements

It's interesting the things that happen, or don't around a house. We have 'owned' our 20-year-old house for three years now. Due to the basement being consumed with an apartment suite, the closet in the main hall contains the laundry. While there is a convenience to having the laundry nearby, there was no suitable place to hang coats, other than a small closet (now used as a pantry) in the kitchen. So, after 3 years, or twenty, depending on your point of view, of hanging coats on door knobs, and newel posts, we finally have coat hooks in the front hall!

The project was simple enough; a length of oak, a dozen hooks, some stain, and 24 hours of elapsed time was all it took to design, create, and install this useful accessory.

I should have done it 35 months ago.

I know that syndrome! We've been here... two and a half years and only now am I getting curtains done for the various rooms. Sometimes I wish there were more hours in each day for such things, but then I realise that they'd be gobbled up by work-work and I'd be back where I started.
