I was watching an old movie and someone was propping up the open windows with small pieces of wood. There were a number of these in the house in Lachute especially upstairs. It kept the window from falling down once opened.
I have a number of small wooden pieces of furniture. I was having them painted. They are quite useful items in my house. They are much solid wood than you would find today at Ikea. The bookcase in particular is very heavy. I think it arrived in my bedroom in Lachute when I started to collect books - so probably in my pre-teen years.
I no longer have pieces of firewood or kindling in my garage. I was able to give it all away very quickly. I probably did that just in time as there is a nasty tree disease in Ottawa - emerald ash borer. Movement of firewood in the area is becoming more difficult.
