Closet Update...

Well, it's not done, but it is functional! We are down to one dresser and our bed (and some stuff that needs to find new homes) in our bedroom and all the rest of the clothes are hanging or folded on shelves in the new closet. WooHoo!!! There is still some finish work, but I'm happy to have a new closet. Thanks Judd!!

Accomplishment of the Week!!!

It's almost been a year already? This is turning into one of those annual letters you get at Christmas. Well, I have an accomplishment that I just have to write about somewhere, and here seems as best a place as any...

I was motivated by Judd and his building of our walk in closet in our room. I cleaned out 2 clothes baskets worth of stuff - you know, the ones you quickly fill to clean up the house when company is coming over, then shove it into a corner of your bedroom, only to be forgotten. Yeah, 2 of them!! Add to that the top of the table in our room - another dumping site - and the corner next to the vanity in our room - something that hasn't seen the light of day for quite some time - AND part of the bottom of my existing closet! I threw away an entire garbage bag of stuff, have 3/4 of a clothes basket to donate, and another 3/4 of a clothes basket to mend.

How is the new closet coming? you may ask...well, I have a new stud wall with an outlet and a light switch, 2 new lights, and a partially installed heater. Once the heater is finished, then we can install the drywall. I already have the new color for the bedroom picked out, so I can't wait!!....but....I am a patient wife of a carpenter, so I will take project progress whenever it happens.
