I inherited old wine bottle with my newfangled studio and situation . They will be perfect to use in my current art project .

The adventure atthe new office / studiocontinues . One of the nifty parts is that I have inherit a whole lot of honest-to-god clobber . I ’m a junk fiend , and the stuff in my space that was left by the owner is treasure to me . There are a clustering of bountiful , old vino bottles—10 - liter and 25 - liter size . That ’s really bully , becausemy current artistic production projectuses old wine-coloured bottles .

There were also a bunch of old agrarian implement among the inheritance . Even though I already have a nice pick in the garden , get two more picks and another hefty sledge hammer in my endowment bag was a pleasant surprise . Among the stuff , there were also bighearted scroll of rope ; two really nice wooden ladders ; a trivial , old porcelain gas kitchen stove in great condition ; and 25 boxes of ceramic tile from the 1960 ’s .   The Italians were pretty arty in the LX , and all of this tile is in reasonably wild pattern . I consider I ’m going to tile the floors in a few of the rooms .

I may use my new grape squeezer to make grape succus next year .

I also discovered a lot of old , fir deck plank . There ’s enough that I am planning to put a wood floor in the office elbow room . Pictured to the right is my new grape squeezer . Some of my friend have these machines , and they use them to squeeze the juice out of their grapes before they make it into wine . Even if I do n’t make my own wine right away , I probably will expend the automobile to at least make some grape juice next year . pose in a corner of the room that will be my new workshop were a whole raft of old construction timbers . Some of the planks have cement on them , but there are around 50 pieces , most about 4 meters long . I ’ve already used some of that lumber to build a unexampled lumber rack along one wall of the garage . It was quite the luxury to already have all the loose eavy lumber I could want during the building . I ’ve tucked away the residual of the former timbers , all the assorted little lumber piece , and the whole late delivery of plywood , composite and finish trimming pieces in the new lumber wrack . I know it might vocalize queer , but I get a liberal bang out of now having my own little lumber yard right in my service department . Life is salutary .

Old wine bottles

I inherited old wine bottles with my new studio and office. They will be perfect to use in my current art project.

The unsound news show is that during the heavy rainfall a few days ago , a leak developed in the ceiling of the room I ’m planning to use as my office . There ’s a garden terrace overhead , and apparently some of the tilework is collapse . The building executive has get out to take a look at the leak and to plan the repair body of work , but I know that will take some time . So I ’ve had to change my plans slightly . I built a irregular desk and Internet link in the space where I plan to build a rustic kitchen to entertain my coffeemaker , microwave oven and mini electric refrigerator . No big trouble . I ’m having more than enough fun to make it through a few trouble .
