Breezeway Furnishings and a 3-Word Address

I had to run a quick dryer load through this morning, so today's post is a bit short - on time and content. I received a package yesterday of three pairs of sweat pants, two turtleneck shirts and a button up Henley from Kohl's (all for less than $80 with free shipping) and wanted to get them washed, along with DH's shirt from yesterday which was fusty from having moved and assembled the soldering bench (photo below). I knew I had to get the rust off the shirt right away or it would be toast, thus a washer load last night, and a dryer started at 3:00 am this morning. 



The solder bench is assembled. We still need to put the
top into the frame, but that's easy. Notice the new
height of the shutters. He raised them up approximately
four inches so that they can be opened to let light in.
Blinds would be much easier to handle though, since
the table depth is four feet. 



The solder benchtop was a total PITA to get up the stairs of the shop, out the door, and into the back of the pickup. DH had to get it into the breezeway on his own, but that only entailed a single shelf. After getting everything reassembled, and raising the shutters so that I could open them and the windows if I wanted, he spent last night searching on-line for inexpensive narrow blinds that we could replace the shutters with. The least expensive would fit, but not easily. I could actually get the dimension I need, but it would cost $60+ (vs under $15 for the least expensive). Whatever we choose, we'll need two sets, so economy does play a role. 



Remember this photo from August 1st? Here you can
see where the shutters originally were positioned. He
raised them quite a bit to clear the tabletop. 



Sorry to be so short today, but on the positive side, I've got a website for you to check out. What3Words is an address app that can accurately pinpoint any address in the world - on a street, or on a mountaintop. It is already being used in untraveled parts of the world to rent yurts and forested tents for AirBnB uses. Check it out when you have a chance. Every address receives a unique three-word designation. I found my three-word address, although I had to move across the pond to the USA and then start moving into my city, street, neighborhood and finally house. It was easy and rather fun. What's your new 3-word address?   

I'll be back tomorrow, have a wonderful day and enjoy your Friday!
