update on the update
The people here are AWESOME!!! I still have alot to do, but they really got things moving/packing during the going away bash and the fourth of July hang-out...
so, updating the update:
>Left to do (besides packing) before I split (most likely on 7/14):
>>Enoch's gambeson -
Enoch took the gambeson home with him on Sunday to finish the had sewing of the chest plate pockets. Helen will have to help him with the ties for the front, but Helen and I (with token help from Celestria) got it SEWN...d#%n it!!!
>>On Monday (LAST Monday - not yesterday) evening with Enoch:
>>Sort through and de-spider-web the armoring workshop, wipe down all the stuff, and find
>>leather to make 3 sets of Vambraces and a set of rerebraces
>yeah - not so much - maybe this evening while Celestria the wonderful continues to sew Enoch's gambeson
yeah again - still not so much (like not at all) - James the boy wonder wiped all the dust off of most of the leather and helped me find pieces for the armor we had to make over the 3-day weekend...
>>Before Thursday:
>>do one more SELL SELL SELL pass (especially the dishes, glasses and cookware)
>well, THIS didn't happen - sigh
yes, it sort of did - the WONDERFUL man in my life just DID it...Thursday evening so we could sell stuff Friday
>>Ideally, before Friday:
>>
OK - what GOT DONE!!! Korwyn's arms, Enoch's chest plates, and James' arms got wax treated (in the oven, set to 200F - worked REALLY well...thank you Alton Brown); Korwyn's arms and Enoch's chest plates got constructed; several Demigauntlets got cut out, but I think only James finished his right demi (Enoch needs a left, and Stephanos needs both); Brody's arms got constructed, including a rerebrace for his left arm (if he wants a right one too, he better speak up SOON) - we got the leg armor dyed, but not reconstructed...he can do that bit on his own.
And, all the books are packed, all the art is down and some packed, all the laundry is done, all the extra furniture and stuff is either Donated or Sold.
Whew. Next post: what's left...argh
