After an almost two week hiatus from working in the crap cave cellar… for reasons that will be discussed later….the husband was back on track.
.
.
The far right corner was complete so the ceiling work started moving outward.
.
.
I was called in to help numerous times because the price of plywood went up again and my spouse switched from the higher grade to the rougher stuff which was much harder to work with. Imagine if you will…. me, with my bad knee climbing on the step stool and trying to hold a sheet of wood in place over my head.
It was not a pretty sight. Nor a quiet one. I never realized there were so many colorful ways to say hurry up before I was roped in to helping.
.
.
In between curses, I checked out his treasure. An old Bell and Howell movie projector, those horrible figural whisky bottles people used to collect in the ‘70s, a rather nice Italian pepper grinder and another rooster.
.
.
Skeeter Skoot? I can only imagine the horrible chemicals they wanted us to spray ourselves with then back then.
.
.
And finally… it looks like my husband will be giving classes on junk collecting. Reserve your seat now, it’s sure to be a popular seminar.

River's world..... 
This series is definitely worth following! 😂

“Back at it”? That would indicate he stopped, and based on your blog, that has not happened since what, 2018?

Back at the ceiling, insulation and shelving project. The junk collecting has gone on since the early 90’s…

Love the desk! We still had that ‘style’ in high school!

Somehow every time you take a picture of the cellar, there seems to be less things than when he first started. Then of course you take a wide shot of the cellar and I see all of his antiques are all in one corner, lol. Why does he have an empty (I hope it’s empty) container of Borden’s Instant Chocolate Milk Mix?

Because it’s old? He has a very low bar when it comes to collecting….

I know that hold the board over your head routine. It needs to be followed by a good still drink and a massage.

I like those old desks. I wonder if I would still fit in one.

I own a very similar Bell and Howell movie projector which I’m guessing has been in the family for 70+ years. I don’t know if it still works, but tell hubby he’s welcome to it if his Bell and Howell is lonely and wants a companion.

It sounds like you two had quite an adventure in the cellar! It’s so nice to have a spouse to help with projects like that. I can only imagine all the colorful language you two shared during the process. I’m glad to hear that the corner is finished and the ceiling is moving outward. It’s always a good feeling when a project is coming to a close. Best of luck with the rest of the work!

Thanks. But this is his cellar full of junk and his project… I’m taking no credit for either as I know he’ll get bored with it long before it’s finished.

Skeeter Skoot sounds like an STD.
This is not a safe project for either of you. I do hope you have you cell phone with you and you have service down there…I’d hate to see a Dateline special on you.

An STD is probably the only thing you won’t find in that cellar.
