The Beast is in the House!

Well ... the Beast is in the house ... at least I don't have to worry about the weather anymore.   But now ... wtf am I going to do?  This thing needs so much more work ... not to mention the creatures that could be living inside it ... and I don't like bugs or mice for that matter ... thank God for those two cats that drive me crazy.  The little one loves to eat moths and the fluffy one... mice ... so I guess it's all good.  

Now I have to do all the finish work and then add the final fabric ... I still can't decide what to do ...should I go with white like the side chairs??? or should I do something bold with color ... (I may have children in my house at some point ... you know sticky fingers and such) ...  the #$%^&*~  cats are already investigating the Beast ... Leave him be girls ... he is my kill!  I have sprayed him down with Lysol which should kill any mold and the cats desire to claw it.

For now he sits and waits for me to attack again ...



I went for a walk with a friend a few weeks ago and this picture keeps popping into my head ...

For the past 18 months I have said repeatedly "I break rules now" ... I will forever regret not walking down this path ... I will go back someday and "do it" ... until then I will just imagine what lies ahead ...

I know ... I know ...

 This is a shot inside that opening ... creepy ...

Beast Update ...

The Beast continues to beat me down ... try as I might, I think it may win ... but with the constant encouragement of friends and family ... I continue to fight the good fight.  Enough said ... I think the pictures speak volumes. 

I know, I know ... really Sharon ... old shirts as stuffing ...

 at $21 a sheet for this foam ... you get why the old shirts ...

I have already spent $200 on something I may have to trash ...

and I am poor and cheap ... (but happy)

 It was at this point that I thought ... sit and see how it feels ... and I did ... and my ass hit the ground ...

(another reason why there should be cameras on me at all times ...)

the repair work I did to the "repair work" someone else did ... obviously didn't work

So I flipped the beast over and thought of a new plan ...

and I believe this may have worked ...

 Foam is in place ... now time to stuff and put the final layer of under fabric ...

then I have to go buy the fabric ...

 That staple gun is my new best friend ...

... I'm going back out ... to slay the beast ...

with a little courage ...
