Zero-Sum Game as I Make a 'Kitchen'
ОМСК With zero funds for a kitchen, I'll take the ladder apart that the roofers had made to put on a new roof at my father-in-law's dacha. I cut the ladder into pieces for legs and support, added an old 15-year-old laminate shelf that used to be in the closet for the counter, and found an old grey board that wasn't quite long enough, but I decided it was acceptable. Adding a punch of intense blue paint that I mixed together from the bargain paint section from the Bauer Centre, I'll create a good impression, and that's good enough for a rough-and-tumble country dacha. Later, I would add a shelf and an old white cabinet on the top for food storage. So now, a person can wash his hands, cook something, and get a cold drink from a small fridge. This dacha, which has sat unfinished for 40 years, has made significant progress. My father-in-law had intended to maybe get a new fence, and when the workers also started replacing the roof, he told them to go ahead. So suddenly the old flap-away-in-the-breeze roof was completely new with a fence too! Then he put aside 50 thousand for a new toilet, but I said that I would do that myself, and from that money we were able to buy a new heater, fridge, sink, and rugs. So a little elbow grease can save a lot. In fact, a little hard work and love can do wonders to an uninspiring place.
