I think the styrofoam fireplace project is nearing completion.
But I nearly always find some detail that I overlooked that requires a major disassembly.
And then, of course, it will need to be properly installed in a setting and decorated with bric-a-brac on the mantel and what-not.
I'm thinking I shall hide the battery box underneath a stack of firewood.
Oh... regarding settings: in the course of working on the fireplace, I discovered that the back wall seen here was not vertically plumb (straight up and down) and that the foamcore board itself had had become twisted and warped. I spent a couple of days disassembling the entire room box and installing two layers of cardboard reinforcement to the back sides of the walls, which largely eliminated the warping. Then I glued the side walls back in place, making sure the back wall was vertical.
The Curse of the Retrograde Planets strikes again!
Yesterday, in response to "simple" projects becoming not-so-simple, I mused that perhaps my astrological chart was plagued by "planets in retrograde." While I am not an astrology adherent, out of curiosity I looked online for my current astrology reading, and this is what I found:
"August will be a month of contrasts. On one hand, with two retrograde planets, Mars and Mercury, the month will proceed slowly. There is no use in trying to push your projects forward, for your efforts won’t work and you will just get more frustrated."
That's pretty concrete for an astrology forecast!
And, unfortunately, pretty accurate!
Today's "simple" project involved disassembling an old air conditioning unit that has been sitting on the "decrepit" back deck for an embarrassingly long time. The unit was far too heavy for me to move by myself or to load up and haul to the dump, so I decided to disassemble it in to more manageably sized pieces.
Other than taking longer than expected... which was expected... that project was fairly straightforward.
Then, being a clever sort, I decided to disassemble the old washer-dryer unit for the same reason. I tried to be extra careful, because the sheet metal edges on appliances are notoriously sharp. But of course, while removing the dryer drum (the big round spinny part), I managed to jam the very tip of one of my fingers directly in to a knife-sharp exposed edge. Much bleeding and whimpering ensued. Now I'm sitting here trying to type with a bandaged finger and of course wondering if it will ever heal, if it will heal properly, if I'm in danger of blood poisoning or tetanus, if there's nerve damage, if there will be a permanent scar, if I will lose feeling in the tip of my finger, or if it will become so ultra-sensitive that I will never be able to play the banjo... not that I can play a banjo or know anything about playing the banjo or had any definite plans to suddenly take up the banjo.
I also was not able to finish disassembling the washer, or to load up all the junk and haul it to the dump, or to get started on the other clean-up and repair projects I had on my list today.
Plus, I'm finding it difficult to type on the keyboard. It's amazing how challenging simple tasks become when one finger is taken out of action.
Today's photo is the action figure dudes I found at the dump a while back exploring a setting comprised mostly of blood-stained parts salvaged from the appliances I took apart today.

I figured it was about time these two should meet. I was waiting for Eddie's new clothes to arrive but they are taking for ever.
