First Bookshelf done
Originally uploaded by amiwithani

Just wanted to show of the first of 4 we made today. Learned several things today:

1. Fish tape works better going up wall rather than down.
2. Cleaning as you go makes finishing seem so much better.
3. We will easily fill these bookcases.

Had dinner at a friend's house - he is a social worker and let us know that 1/2 of the staff at his state agency were being laid off. In addition, he is having to cut clients. We still managed to have a good evening full of tales of bravado with the MA Transportation Department, good food, tall tales, and promises to see each other again soon.
