So, this week didn't go EXACTLY as planned. I didn't get nearly as much done as I'd hoped. Chalk that up to life with 2 kids, lots of activities, & school starting, I guess. I'm sure everyone can relate.
I did get the shelving in the storage area (what will be my stockpile area) torn out. A little work with the sawzall and some elbow grease, and it was gone. Now I just need to patch all the holes I left. I was careful to use a board behind my hammer head for leverage to avoid major holes, but still managed to make a few. That will hopefully be a project for early next week, followed by paint. Then, I will be able to install my black metal shelves, and finally get my stockpile put away. Right now it looks like a grocery store was blown to bits in my basement.
I also took delivery of our new washer and dryer. They say the new set is big enough to wash 25 towels at once. I might need to do some towel shopping to test that theory (doubtful I have 25 towels total right now!). While they are beautiful, they are just expensive paper weights until the handyman comes to re-route the water, drain, electric, and gas- all things I have done in the past, but NOT things I wish to spend weeks finishing. I figured getting someone out here to do it in an afternoon was money well-spent.
I did a bit of organization today. Emptied, sorted, and re-loaded the deep freezer. Brrrr! Glad to have it done. Now to get the rest of the garage organized so that we can actually walk through it!
I will post the basement remodel list in the next few days. Several major projects to be done down there. The laundry room alone should keep me busy for weeks. I think a trip to IKEA might be in our near future :)
