Bench Work

It’s nice to have these simpler rooms to work on because we are a bit fed up of remodeling. Even Mr. R is getting tired of it.

On with Bedroom Three.


This is the walk in closet with the clothes poles removed. The slanted piece is to accommodate the stair well below. As necessary as this is, it is also vexing. It makes that corner a bit rubbish (as we say in England).



Taking the carpet off makes the floor cleaner but that corner is still rubbish.


Mr. Fix It takes a look and surmises (correctly) that the slant doesn’t have to take up all the room it does. Some of it can be removed without affecting the stairs.


That way you can make a little bench covering it so the corner will not be so rubbish.


Clever Mr. Fix It.


Looking better all the time.


And yet better.


Now the closet has a little bench for sitting on or storing things on. Thanks again Mr. Fix It.


Mrs. R is very ready to see the back of the peach paint. This wall also needed a lot of patching.

Existing baseboards are given a new coat of paint as with bedroom two.
