As you know, my brother will be here on Wednesday, and his room isn’t clean*, so I built a shelf.
Melanie, who I work with, wanted a funky storage area under her loft for some of the fun doo-dads she has for the kiddos. It struck me as a most magnificent idea, and said I’d help. I even bought the ‘select’ lumber (on sale, of course) so it wouldn’t be completely warped when it was finished. She sketched her idea for me, and I actually drew out some plans (with some modifications, of course). (I plan to say ‘of course’ several more times. Care to join me?)
I’m nearly done attaching things, but I had to give up for the night. I’m up way past my bedtime, and with my creaky old knees, I don’t think I can do carpentry on the floor much longer. That stinks. How am I going to find a workbench that’s as big as a whole floor?
* Mark, the sheets are clean, and if you can get to the closet without running into the treadmill, we’re good to go. Of course.
Karla/Arron says
Lauren, you’re a regular Ty Pennington! I’m so impressed. Of course.
Brad says
I watched TV last night.
Lauren says
Did you watch Big Bang Theory? I really, really love that show.
kiwe says
That’s my very favorite show!!!!!!
Peggy says
Of course you did…as did I.
Lauren you are amazing!! And I’m sure if another ark is ever needed, God will commission you!
Deanne says
Of course He will!
Beth says
Looks like you didn’t paint the basement then, huh? 😉
Very cool shelving. Love it.
christina says
Are you using dowels or screws?
Is THAT sarcasim?
Brad says
It was the only option.
Deanne says
Of course, you could always make some shelving like that in the basement. Although your knees would bother you while you’re making it, of course.
kiwe says
Wow that’s cool. I love shelves because most of the time they come with books on them!
kiwe says
and it rhymes with elves.
Lloyd says
It also contains elves.
Curt says
“You just blew my mind.” (in a Cosmo Kramer voice)
Isn’t there a Kramer quote like this? I can’t remember which episode and couldn’t find it on youtube.
Karla/Arron says
Here it is:
Jerry: Ah, you’re crazy.
Cosmo Kramer: Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
Jerry: It’s impossible.
Cosmo Kramer: Is it? Or is it so possible that your head is spinning like a top?
Jerry: It can’t be.
Cosmo Kramer: Can’t it? Or is your entire world just crashing down all around you?
Jerry: All right, that’s enough.
Mark says
Thanks for the bed, sis! Don’t worry about the rest of the room just as long as I have a blanket and a couple of pillows.
Mom says
You’re too young for creaking knees. It must have been the elves.
