Garage is almost settled!

Well, I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as the garage being settled... With an additional 12 foot wire shelf installed on the front wall just above the pegboard, more "stuff" was able to be put in a place other than on the floor where it was in the way. Mostly, this amounted to scrap lumber pieces and folding lawn chairs. I may add one more 4 foot section of shelf between this long one and the brown cabinet on the same wall to get just a little more storage space. I also hung some large hangers on that wall to store furniture moving dollies, an extension ladder, and some saw horses. Once I find a home for our old refrigerator (anyone need a still-runs-great late 1970's vintage Harvest Gold 17cft frig?), we will finally be able to get both cars in the garage!


Here's another view, showing the camper already tucked away on the far side (behind the single garage door opening), along with two workbenches with drawers and cabinets and also cabinets on the wall. All these we brought with us from the other house.


We are still waiting on two "biggies" to happen inside the house to finally get it settled.

The remainder of our media center (the "hutch" portion) as well as 4 cabinets/bookcases for the office are scheduled to be delivered Wednesday. Once that all comes, we will be able to knock out most of the remaining boxes that are sitting around holding office supplies and books/binders.

The other biggie is our window shutters. We still haven't heard from the shutter company, but expect to hear any day now that our order is complete and ready for delivery/installation. Once that is done, Nancy will be able to start hanging pictures on the wall.

It seems a long time coming (we moved in 4/30, some 76 days ago!) but we are nearing the end getting things squared away. What an effort it has been!
