Area 51 Update
I’ve referred to a spot in the basement as my own personal Area 51, filled with boxes and bags of projects that were started and never completed (hence, UFO – UnFinished Objects). I didn’t think it was a big area, maybe three feet by four feet by four feet. It wasn’t a slap’n’dash pile of…
