Getting back to some details, like widening the antique sliding door that goes into workshop. I cut a undulating line up the middle of a 1x6 and used these 2 pieces , biscuit joining them onto the edge of door. Then i painted it mustard.

I like it. And then... I installed track lighting in wood shop room and plan to put a section in the tool closet. Right now it is almost impossible to find things after dark. Maybe tonight or tomorrow i will trim last door way, the wood room closet.

I also built a storage cupboard in wood working room from byfold hollow core doors. It required four 12" wide pair. I'd bought a bunch of them a while ago during a 1/2 off sale, so my shelving unit cost $10.00 to build using scrap for shelf supports. I used 2 small l brackets to secure it to the wall, screwing into studs. I love my stud finder. Now to start using it. It will help keep my room user friendly.

Peaty the pooper

Update on Peaty the rabbit and worm bin. Well it turns out rabbit manure is to hot to put into bin. And maybe it's just to cool in my mi. Basement to have a worm bin. So.... I began over with bin, removing all manure. Not sure how to provide warmer space for worm friends but least they have a fresh rabbit poo free home. Think, think think Barb provided her tumbling composter to try handling peats poo and litter. It no longer turned as the barrel broke where the rod went through. Poor design, i think. Anyway, glad to have it and not have to start from scratch and build one. I screwed wood blocks on inside to support rod and patched barrel damage with rubber maid tube lid. I can see already where it will be challenging to rotate as it gets heavier. Here goes, ok peaty poo your heart out. Still hoping for compost by spring.
