I knew there was a leaking problem and the landlord has regularly been apprised of things.\u00a0 We had a good strong rain several days ago (and there were a half-dozen or more tornadoes in the area), and the ongoing rain issues caused the mini-blind in the front window to simply fall out of the window frame.<\/p>\n

So now that we have (mostly) clear weather, that section of the wall is torn out and the guy working on it has to get new sheetrock,\u00a0 two-by-fours, insulation and assorted other stuff.\u00a0 \u00a0It was to be a one-day job.\u00a0 It’s now mid-afternoon, and the guy running the work has to be with his aunt (off to the heart doctor, unavoidable), so this job will go into tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Of course, that wall is where I run my skein-winder (it normally sits on the table pulled out from the wall), and the big etagere that usually sits in front of the window and all the way to the door is where most of my supplies and other materials live.<\/p>\n

So the yarns that were promised to be shipping on Thursday probably won’t be shipping until Friday, assuming I can get my space back into some semblance of order in time to reskein the yarns on Thursday.<\/p>\n

I am sincerely hoping this set of repairs will stop the rains intruding into my space.\u00a0 The worker is also aiming to thoroughly seal all the outside areas in that space as well.\u00a0 He said he also has to remove the window to seal all around it.\u00a0 I suppose I will throw a sheet or something over the window tonight, and just twiddle my thumbs in the meantime.<\/p>\n
