Darren is all moved in...
and he likes it...
it's got room for everything!
My new office space. The walls will be changing color! (and that mobile is coming down)
The playroom is in the old office...
and where the rug is will be a little day bed.
All my tools have their own space now...
and the bikes will stay dry in the rain. It's not an ideal space, but until we have a garage it will have to do.
Just a couple little touch-ups left, and another coat on the door, but only about another half hour and I'm done! Then it's all up to Darren to set up his office stuff in there and settle in. Might have to sew a couple curtains but that can come later.
Pretty nice, huh? :-) My dad helped me put the floor down this morning so that went fast. And he gave me a compressor and two nail guns for my birthday so the baseboard went up in about 3 minutes! I LOVE NAIL GUNS.
Ok! So a man needs his space, right? And so does the rest of the family ;-) Therefore, I am converting our cute little 82 sq ft. shed into a perfect office space for Darren. Here are some pictures for all of you following along at home.
I started two days ago. First, there was all the crap shoved in the shed. Too much stuff to let me in at the same time to take a picture, so here it is after it's mostly emptied out. Big work tables and shelves attached to every wall.
All this stuff had to be pulled out and put in a throw-away pile outside. The window on the left here opens, while the other one shown above does not.
Another view, taken from the door.
So I pulled out all the shelves and tables, and vacuumed up all the dust and cobwebs.
Yesterday I mudded and taped. My first time ever, and it went pretty well! These pictures are from today, after the second coat of mud.
Tomorrow I'll start sanding, if my back has had enough rest. It's screaming for an epsom salt bath right now, so if you'll excuse me ...
more to come!
Ok, so it's not quite totally done, but it's so close! The entire backyard is fenced and gated now, thanks to the brother-in-law, and the only bit that's left is to do the pickets around the front yard. They'll be in the same pattern as the bits by the gates now. It is already such a relief to be in the back with the kids and not have to worry about them running into the street, or strange dogs coming into the back which has happened a few times.
Unfortunately, nothing has helped get rid of this one F#*&^@ING cat who continues to find new and exciting places to leave big stinky piles for me to step in/clean up. I HATE CATS!!!!!!! HATE THEM!
