Yes this is the second time I have posted about cleaning our garage so cars could be parked in it. However, the first time was more of a "stack everything on top of everything else until you can see the floor." Well as you can imagine as soon as the holidays came the stacks came down and never went back up. We needed a solution so Adam took charge.
He found these industrial racks, rented a van, picked them & and a work bench up, then assembled it all. Now that's a great husband.
We needed a work bench because next month he and my dad are going to start the crown moulding in our house, I have a million magazine pictures cut out ready to go. I am SO excited!!!!!! My dad did most of that kind of work in our house in Fresno and it will be awesome for him to teach Adam.
First things first, you all care more about Annie than the garage so here were her day's highlights. She wore her cousin Ainsleighs boots for the first time and kept them on!
Daddy and his van, the pieces were too long for our car.
Annie and Mommy watched Daddy work. Annie is wondering where her Daddy got the spiffy new Van, and if it has a DVD player in the back seat for her.
She made funny faces while she had her treat, and we did more crafts.
The beginning. Well, the parts that weren't so messy we could show them.
Todd, this is for you. This is the wedding ketubah you almost tossed last summer. As you can see it's a good thing you didn't as we have put it to good use ;-).
Adam putting it together. Each of these shelves holds two thousand lbs. Think I can buy that many holiday decorations? Answer. NO.
The new work bench! 8ft of pure maple and steel manliness! We will eventually get one of those rolling tool chests to go under it. (Father's Day maybe?) and one of those hooks board thingies (that's the technical term of course) to go above it.
I told Adam the wood looked too nice to work on and he laughed at me. Bring on the crown moulding!
This is Mommy's potting and work bench. It does not have hammers and saws but rather wrapping papers and ribbon.
Another reason these are great is you can go two containers deep, which if you have the depth/room is really awesome. Costco baby!
As Annie would say... Ta Da!
We did manage to throw a lot out but we came across this Rawlings brief case that Eric gave Adam and want to give it away, it's too nice to toss. They are not cheap to purchase so if no one wants it we will donate it. If you would like it, let us know, it is really nice leather:
