I’m sorry you havee cranky neighbors. Your picktures of the shelves and tubs of makes me miss working in a local LYS and opening the boxes of yarn to be put away. It was like Christmas all year long.

Oh, I think a sign proclaiming this a “screaming child, time out zone” would make them appreciate quiet white cabinets….. You could also post a pattern for a “Shut Your Pie Hole Beanie” with a more SOLID full face, for those days when the “blustery wind” just won’t stop, and a matching scarf! (Give ‘em enough scarf and they will hang—–you get the picture, LOL)

Oh for the love of Mike! Do people really have nothing else to do other than to whine and complain?!? Turn me loose on ‘em…I’ll run ‘em over in my wheelchair!

I think your cabinets look great! As long as they don’t interfere with handicap access to the door, as a potential exit, I don’t see what the new landlord is complaining about, unless he just wants more money for it! Does that still leave room for wheelchairs or those powered wheelchairs, if people would have to get out in a hurry in the event of an emergency? It looks like it might be fine, but maybe measuring the clearance now would help, in case the new landlord is worried about the Americans Disability Act, or whatever it is called.

Hugs to you, Sheri! I’m sorry you have to deal with this, and I hope you can get it worked out to your satisfaction!

I think you should put up a little sign that designates the formerly empty space as a “Fair AISLE” and keep your claim staked.

I think the other tenant wished they had the space. Who knows why?

If those cabinets got mysteriously yarn bombed with crocheted daisies, how cool would that be?

I wonder if the neighbor complained, or someone in the landlord’s camp felt it was a “negative impact” that you were making use of space for which you weren’t paying extra. Perhaps a calculation of rent-per-square-foot and a (presumably small) rent increase for the extra space would compensate for this “negative impact.” Business is business. If the landlord conceived of the space as “revenue generating,” perhaps the “impact” would be “positive.”

That seals it! I think you should pack up and move to Chicago or Milwaukee – there are plenty of landlords here that would love to have nothing but yarn fumes and UPS trucks to be concerned about.

Do a Google search for “Counting Sheep glow in the dark wall stickers”. Put them on the doors. Then see what kind of “negative impact” it has on their shorts when they wander in there when the lights are off!

Hmm…maybe if it is the other tenant, they will move out in disgust and you can take over their space and fill it to the brim with more yarn!!!
