In addition to a bunch of work-related stuff, I’m trying to devote some time during my sabbatical to fixing various problems that have piled up around Chateau Steelypips over the last few years when I was too busy to deal with much of anything. Thus, today’s photo is this fairly unremarkable shot:<\/p>\n

\"Jury-rigged<\/a>
Jury-rigged extra shelves for the spice cabinet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This exists mostly to document my recent reorganizing of a bunch of stuff in the kitchen. These cabinets above the stove are somewhat awkwardly located, and serve to hold spices and other cooking stuff. They’re a little too deep to be ideal for that, though, and as a result I’ve spent a lot of time leaning over hot burners rummaging through dozens of bottles of stuff trying to find the basil (or whatever). <\/p>\n

Thus, this little bit of improvisation: these are wire bins from Target attached to the inside of the cabinet doors using screw eyes and cable ties, which isn’t especially aesthetic, but does vastly increase the effective “front row” of the cabinets (and approximately doubles what Kate can reach without a stepstool…). Which hopefully will make it easier to keep the stuff I actually use regularly in a place where I can find it quickly.<\/p>\n

(Really, we need to do a large renovation of the entire kitchen, because the cabinets in there were never all that nice to begin with, and are getting pretty beat. That’s going to cost a lot of money, though, so we’re putting it off as long as possible. Which is why I’m bodging this together from $20 worth of bits from Target…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
