Scott? Scott (yes, you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
terram) ROCKS!
Yes, you.
Okay. Today, I went over to my parents' house (again). And for various reasons ended up deciding to bring more home than I'd intended. Scott called while I was there and I talked to him and I told him that I was going to do that, and then went back to what I was doing.
When I got home, Scott had (as expected - he called me) left for his game already.
So I opened the garage, intending to move the remaining desk (which I need to Freecycle) forward from where it had been to make room for the boxes of stuff I had brought home (all four of them).
Only to stand and STARE. Scott has: broken down the remaining half-ripped cardboard boxes from putting bookshelves in (LAST YEAR - my fault - that was my project), stacked the assorted empty cardboard boxes that need recycling in a much taller and therefore much narrower pile, and rearranged the rest of the garage so that there is space, flat surfaces to set things on near the door into the house, and more space. This is what I'd hoped to see in a few months after clearing out crap. I wonder what it will look like in a few months, but right now I am in awe! And very, very grateful.
Plus, on the way back I stopped at Home Depot. They have a side table (or occasional table) that is EXACTLY what I wanted, four tiles instead of six, same sizing, same type of construction. (Despite the note on the web site, it is in fact available in my local Home Depot, where I first saw it. It costs more, though - with shipping, the web site is still very marginally cheaper. VERY marginally.) Happy.
Having gotten measurements, I measured my porch. The swing seat I intended to get, plus this table, won't fit unless I like edging around them to go through the door. Not so happy. The swing seat was convenient, available, and bigger than needed with a couple features not needed. So it's back to looking for either those or glider chairs, I think. I really would like to have a table next to whatever we put out there, so....
Also, got and read Patricia Briggs Blood Bound, sequel to Moon Called (which I believekfrye recommended to me originally - if I remember rightly, then much thanks!). REALLY enjoyed it. Want another now please. :D
