Whew, it's been a week hasn't it?

However, I did get one thing done last Sunday.

 The core board insulation came upstairs and got cut into 2 pieces.

 80/20 cotton batting was folded over each edge, opposites first, and stapled snugly.

 These metal hanger whoie-whatzies can be found at Lowe's in the build-a-deck section.  I really have no idea what they're called.  But they work and that's what matters.

 3 extra large silver thumb tacks hold the bottom secure to the core board.  The top of the plate extends out a bit.

 Push pins through the top 2 holes secure each board to the wall.

 And wallah.  The back board to "save a wall from demolition spray starch" is complete.

I've set my big ironing board on top of the new cabinet with newly washed cover and we're good to go.

And just FYI, my "big board" is actually fiber board framed on bottom with 1x2's.  The top is painted with wall paint after which I applied 2 coats of sealant.  Something I had on hand.  You know how fiber board can absorb moisture.  Thus the sealant.

Instead of batting, I use 2 large pieces of knit fabric under the custom made ironing board cover.  Again, it was something I had on hand.  Spray starch goes everywhere when I prep fabric and it does eat the paint off the walls, but now I believe I'm ready for anything.

 You could say I'm expanding my repertoire.  The big box store had these at a very reasonable price, so I bought some half yards to add extra wattage to the fabric cupboard.  I have big plans, yup, sure do.

Yeah, finally this morning was 2-quilt chilly.  And there are some leaves turning already.  Of course it could be that we need rain.  I think this year we're all looking forward to being snowbound.

As my good buddy, CC says, "how many months of August are we having?"

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
