Ideals and Compromises

I am frequently required to compromise my vision of how things should be.  On the other hand, there are often times when something better turns up than I had planned for or visualized.  Therefore my plans for how I would set up my workroom to accommodate a fusing kiln were made with some vagueness in the eventual realization  I couldn't have foreseen the fortuitous finds I made of various storage options at Deseret Industries.  The option I took of using four small roles of economy sheet vinyl and covering over the rug instead of tearing it up turned out better than I had anticipated.  It was my daughter, Lucinda, who spent several years installing flooring in various situations as a student/employee at BYU who gave me the advice to keep the rug in place.  Most of the essential work is done.  The ceiling over the kiln area is the major task that remains.  I also need to re-position the peg-board over the work bench and install a long shelf with a piece of shelving hardware I found while going through the many items stuffed away for later use.  I have spent a lot of money on the project, but chiefly on supplies for the adventure in fusing I will begin when all is ready.
