The weather kicked our butts this week! Jeff Galinat and I were going to do museum work yesterday. We canceled because of the snowy forecast. Turns out the museum area barely got a dusting. So we changed to today. "2-4 inches" in the forecast was half a foot. Doh! But we drove very carefully got a full day's work in. I gave a tour to a visiting VIP from 10:30-12:30 while JG planned our new book shelves, went to Home Depot for supplies, etc. We removed an old unused radiator from the museum workshop wall. It was in the way and we checked with the powers that be for approval. The actual act of removing the radiator was easy: two bolts and two sawzall cuts. We didn't anticipate some of the pipes and the radiator itself, which was last used several decades ago, being full of dark sludge! :) The good news is no artifacts were sludge'd ... the bad news is sludge went all over the workshop floor, parts of the museum floor, and even parts of the hallway floor as we removed some components from the room. We cleaned up 99% of it. However this took a LOOOOOONG time and that pretty much killed the whole afternoon. But, we got it done, and now the workshop wall by the far windows is useful. Before we couldn't put anything there without having it jut out into the middle of the area. We moved the storage locker and the future Lego LOGO desk to that side. The wall where the bookshelves will go is totally clear now. Home Depot cut the shelves for us into four 1x8-ft. sections. So that was Saturday. Jeff B.: the museum workshop area and particular the workbench are messy. Don't panic. :) I will clean it next time.
