Here's a photo of the kitchen shelves with lace curtains (which are actually tablecloths) set over tension rods. A temporary look, since I'm thinking of something more non-see-through. Cost-wise this works, though.
My main squeeze had to spend dollars on a new hot water heater this morning. The kids got us out of bed in the wee hours with the hot water heater leaking through the ceiling. It's in the attic (not wise, but it's how it's always been), and is the second heater we've had to replace. The globe of the ceiling fixture in the hallway got water in it as well. One of the boys said he felt he was on the Titanic. Silly boy.
Anyway, Gary and 2 of the boys are installing it now. Man, they are HEAVY. Speaking not from experience in moving one, so you know, but seeing their red faces when they hauled the old one out and the new one in is proof enough.
Feeling a bit frazzled at the busyness of the morning. Thankfully it's a quiet day weather-wise. When I get out of bed to too much activity (whether it's mine or not), I get a bit zippy feeling. After some time in this dark bedroom, should be back up to speed.
Take care.
