Writing about all the big & little things

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

This weekend simply whizzed right by!  We were able to go over and spend the afternoon with Tim’s side of the family at Bakers house enjoying good food and fellowship.  Then I went Black Friday shopping for a few items, which is always fun!

But really we spent most of the weekend working on the garage… which was necessary, but tedious.  In order to finish organizing the garage we needed to get Tim’s tool bench table finished, but before we could finish that we needed to hang pegboard to put all the tools, but before that we needed to put up the sheetrock (that we already have), but BEFORE THAT we needed to put in the insulation (that we also already have!) underneath the sheetrock!  So… you can see how that one thing had so many backwards steps before we actually got around to being able to organize the garage.  But I’m happy to say it’s mostly finished  We were able to get most of the walls insulated and sheetrocked, the peg board up, tools organized and hung, shelves hung, bikes hung and boxes put up on said shelves.

Ah!

It feels so good to have one more space in our house getting completed.  I’ll take a picture tomorrow, but it’s probably not as exciting to most of you since you didn’t really know what a mess it was before.  🙂  Now the extra stuff we had waiting in the basement can finally fit in the garage so that Tim can finally start clearing out his train room, which has been a storage room up until now. 🙂   Apparently we have a lot of shuffling things around that we need to do!  We have so much space here, but it takes a while to get it organized.

    Glad to hear you got the work on the garage done. It will be great to have that storage space, plus be able to put the cars in when it snows. And I’m sure Tim will be happy to start setting up his trains, as soon as he is done working. Is he done yet?

    Not yet… But today is his last full day, so starting tomorrow we won’t have any nannies coming in the afternoon. He’ll probably finish out the week at least working mornings still though.
