As you can see in the reading room pics from yesterday, there was still a lot of packing material in the room when my Pathfinder filled up. However, before starting cleaning today (i.e. on my "on the way to work" recycling drop-off run) I discovered that the "I Sold It On eBay" places will accept styrofoam, peanuts, bubble wrap, etc - so now I have a place to drop it. Armed with this knowledge and a recently-cleared-out Pathfinder, I went after the remaining packing material in the reading room. You'll notice that the bagged material was gone from the room by the time I took these pictures. In tomorrow's pictures, you'll discover that by the time I was done working on the reading room the remaining packing material had been removed and the new "prime offender" in space consumption is Christmas wrapping paper and gift bags. I was, however, able to work around what was there and re-position the now-empty filing cabinet, the sheet metal, and some of the monitors so that the piles-o-stuff start with the windows and encroach inward, instead of forming a barrier by the path to the door.
Did I say path to the door? Why yes, I did! It's now possible to walk to the door!
