LD's Attic, July 19, 2009.
Sorry about the lousy pictures in this pre-remodeling series. I snapped them in a great rush of enthusiasm to dig into these remodeling projects.
The overhead sleeping loft in my Lazy Daze quickly became an attic junk room
The junk has to go - there's no room in this new "Lazy Daze Light" program for junk. I've been living here long enough now to know the sleeping loft will never be my bedroom. I tore out the queen size mattress and little storage box at the head of the bed. And the lift-up "floor" over the cab too.
Wait 'til you see how this area is being transformed. Seeing that area opened up gave me ideas.

Alex Can Spell
Not very long ago, Dr. Pepperberg began trying to teach Alex and another gray parrot, Griffin, to sound out phonemes, which are the sounds that letters and letter combinations represent. English has forty phonemes altogether. She and her colleagues wanted to see if the birds understood that words are made out of letters that could be recombined to make other words, so they started training the birds with magnetic refrigerator letters.
