OK. So…maybe NOT fairies.
Yesterday, I did a post about finding five square corner blocks just sitting in the main floor bathroom. And I needed five such blocks. And none were from the bathroom.
It seemed like a miracle. Like fairies had blessed the house with an unexpected gift.
You see, I was missing ONE original corner block, but I needed FOUR more to properly finish some alterations I made.
So, to come across five corner blocks just astounded me.
But my amazement was to be — sigh — dashed.
Today I realized that I am not missing ONE original corner block, but rather FIVE.
On the second floor is the original housekeeper’s room. The previous owner, Bob, removed all the window trim and dip-tank stripped it. But…
…he did not reinstall the original corner blocks but instead installed plain blocks he made.
I have no idea why Bob did this.
But the four “extra” blocks I found were NOT gifts from fairies.
Sigh.
I so hate when fairies are not delighting me with gifts.

Bob probably did that so he could replace the missing blocks downstairs.
All the square blocks in the house were there when Bob had the house.
He took a lot off and stored them in the Aladdin’s cave. It’s just taken me a while to figure out where they all went!
I am guessing that he simply didn’t realize that he had removed the four blocks in the housekeeper’s room, and then mislaid them. So, he made new plain blocks.
I will ask him next time I see him!
Wait, what?! You mean there were not any actual fairies involved? But, seriously, I was confused because, in your original post, I didn’t realize you needed four blocks for NEW changes you had made. Now it makes sense!
Yes, the new changes were mentioned in the previous block post.
Just a random thought…I wonder if replacements could be made with a laser 3D printer? Or something like that?
