Rob went down to a WRW rehearsal today, so I took advantage of the time alone to scrape tar paper off the floor in the pantry. It’s fairly stinky so I don’t like doing it when he’s in the house. I wear a respirator while I’m working; asking him to wear one around the house during his leisure time just seems mean. The wood is in much worse shape than the rest of the kitchen so I suspect that we may decide to replace it rather than refinish it.
I still have to do the section under the rug. Oh…the broom that’s in the image is helping hold a window fan in place. The pantry window is just a little too small for a ventilation fan, so I’ve got it propped on the windowsill and wedged in place with the broom. It worked nicely.
