Last summer, I posted about our dire need for a storage shed. It took us 9 months, we finally got off our lazy butts and decided to build one. 15 minutes after we started unpacking the boxes, it started raining. Most people would have called it quits, realizing that it's not easy, comfortable or smart to build something while soaking wet. We are NOT most people. We pushed through and finished the shed in just under 7 drizzly hours. What can I say... we like a challenge! I am beyond excited that it's done, because it means that we are finally inching closer to getting the nursery ready. Trust me- there is a connection between a backyard storage building and our future children's room.
Currently, we call the nursery an "office". In reality, it's my craft/junk room and happens to house our printer and internet hub. The junk/craft supplies need to live in our hall closet, so things in the closet needed a new home. Among the closet dwellers was our ShopVac, because the garage was full of lawn equipment and there is absolutely no room for a portly vacuum. So, it was imperative to build a shed for the ShopVac (and the lawnmower, etc) so that we could start cleaning out the office! Make sense? Probably not, but it seemed necessary to get the shed built before anything else could happen.
If you were able to follow any of that, congratulations. I live here, and it's hard for me to make sense of it. The whole point is that we are actually making progress on the one thing that is causing 99% of the stress/panic in my life right now. And that makes me one very happy pregnant lady.
I'm SO IMPRESSED you got it done in 7 hours! It would have taken us weeks, I'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteI was pretty proud of us for finishing it at all, let alone in one day!
DeleteYay for the shed! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I definitely followed the path because that's my life right now, too. The babies' room will be the room that is called my "office" but is really junk storage/old computer things/yarn stash/wedding gifts that we never figured out what to do with (nearly 4 years later). But, to empty it out, we need a place to put those things. And, the places to put those things are already filled with other things. So, we need a place to put those things. And so on and so on.
Which is why I'm lying on the couch in the living room surrounded by boxes filled with two double strollers, two cribs, four car seats, a baby tub (wait, make that two baby tubs because somehow someone sent us another one), etc., etc. The boxes are going to attack at any moment, I'm sure!
Oh, and you look adorable in your tie dye!! :)
I'm glad that someone else can relate! Now that we have a place to store stuff, things are moving along nicely. It's just so hard to get started sometimes!
DeleteBelieve me we all understand, and you better get cracking on the babies room. Can't wait to see it all decorated and ready for those cuties.

I'm feeling the pressure to get it done- I will definitely post pictures as we make more progress!
