well, what a day, phew… it was chilly, overcast, and windy…

spent the morning in the garage moving bits and pieces out into the driveway to make room for an empty table to work on…

then my housemate met up with his grandfather to go and pick up lumber for the new shelves planned for the basement and the garage…

once he returned home, we moved more things and then updated a shelf beside the door for my gardening gloves and tools…

it is stronger, looks amazing, and now each tool is much more accessible underneath;-)…

we worked on the basement shelves, his brother arrived, and they finished them…

they ended up looking excellent and adding more useful space for organizing our stuff, lol…

they continued to work in the garage to redo a section of shelves and add counter space…

I didn’t quite get a picture of the finished product, before we moved all the bits and pieces back into the garage for the night…

it is going to be so organized that I might not be able to find anything 🤪…

deconstructing…

here was how yesterday went…

first thing in the morning the deck looked like this…

the crew arrived and set to deconstructing two decks…

it didn’t take too long and the space was empty…

they went and collected lumber and other needed supplies…the rain came and went throughout the day

by the end of the day the frames were nearly done…

looking promising;-)…

back at it in the garage… our last foray out there, a few weeks ago, involved dumping everything onto the floor to be sorted…

this time we went through and put items back up in the rafters that seemed like good things to keep… I let a lot go, although I know many people who might have wanted some of the bits, lol…

then we put the excess lumber (from the fence build) up there… it had been under a tarp along the edge of the driveway since June when the fence was finished…

everything else on the floor was loaded into the back of the truck and driven away…

there were still a number of items on the floor that needed to find homes…

we “finished” in the garage late Sunday afternoon…

the floor was finally cleared and vacuumed and there was a lot of dust from the wet-vac, lol…

the bench got slightly rearranged as we still need more work done there, lol… and then Indi made it into the space…

woohoo;-)…
