Storage shelf: constructed
Spent the day (and evening) building a monster (and manly) shelf in my garage today. Since moving into the house a year and a half ago, we'd had piled up plastic storage bins on the floor… bothering me. One of the things I mentioned on my Christmas wish list was some tools and assistance building a big shelf a couple feet from the ceiling to place said bins on. I got some tools, and last night my brother Travis came over with his truck so I could pick up lumber and other hardware to build the shelf. Today I got it all built. Took me nearly 7 hours to do from start to finish (not counting all the cleanup) but it's so nice to finally have done. 12 feet wide, nearly 2 feet deep, hanging about 2 feet from the ceiling. I can fit 8 bins on it, and was able to move some other things around under it, freeing up room for the cars. I'd shout out a big hooray, but I'm exhausted. So all I can muster is a weak 'yay'.

Photos, man!! Photos!!
Hehe. Awesome that you got that done.
Have a great NYE. We were in your neighborhood today, but I couldn’t talk Beck into driving us over to Alameda to get a growler to drop off at your place. I wish we could go to both parties!

yeah, need to take some pics, but it’s not THAT exciting.
