All Done!

24 hours later and all is just about finished and under control!

The on wall shelving has been extended underneath and now the power switches etc sit just below the level of the desk.  This allows the other shelves to be lowered.  If really needed I could possibly add another shelf but there doesn't appear to be a need right now.

Much of the 'junk' is hidden in the filing cabinet.  Other bits and pieces I use occasionally have been put in storage boxes but still accessible. Other stuff is now stored on the bookcase.

Yesterday finished up being quite busy.  There is a local issue with the nearby school accommodating 1400 pupils and their parents bringing them in by car with only one road in and out of the estate.  There are double lanes at the main intersection with Caloundra Rd but these have been cut short due to roadworks.  The roadworks are to double the length of the left turn only lane and allow easier exiting from the only road heading out of the estate.  However during the roadworks construction, traffic leaving the estate during school pick and drop off times is horrendous.  The local Channel 7 News wanted an interview Wednesday morning which I did.

Then the Secretary of the Community Association and I had a meeting with the local MP at 11 am to discuss helicopters, roadworks and other issues affecting our residents.

Then it was back home again to cut up the old office table and put it all on the back of a neighbour's truck.  I reckon the total weight of the table was well over 200kgs.  The 3' x 6' table top was around an inch thick.  The side walls were the same and then we had the hutch on top!

Right now the timber has been cut into manageable sizes and loaded onto the neighbour's truck ready to go to the tip!

Today is rubbish collection day and much of the polystyrene packaging from the flat packs has been broken up and put into our rubbish bin.  We have so much to get rid of, some of the excess rubbish has to go into a neighbour's bin!

No ride again this morning.  Cutting up the timber and loading it onto the truck yesterday was the equivalent to a full week's bike rides I reckon.  I sure felt my age I tell you! The cooling swim and glass of cool drink afterwards was a life saver.

If there was only something I could do to tidy up those wires dangling under the table!

But the lawn did get mowed this morning.
