And the work goes on

I am making this radiator cover, at the back of the hall/bottom of the stairs. It's to cover the radiator that we found hidden inside the box inside the closet inside the closet under the old stairs--it wasn't very pretty.

The cover is made from a few pieces of wood, and a set of metal heating vent covers. I made the gap between the top and side wooden pieces such that the vent covers would just slot in. As you can see, I need to go back to Home Depot for a couple more. Three more to be exact: they are 12" wide and the wood strips are 8 foot.

The black-rubber-mat-like thing is in the hole at the bottom of the stairs. I have to mix some concrete and fill the hole one of these days... probably not until springtime when it's warmer again.

Tomorrow the plan is to clean out the hall, put the saw away, paint the walls at least once, scrub the floors and put the rug down. Make it at least livable for Thanksgiving.
