Just Under the Wire

It's the final day of February - my last chance to update the blog this month. Since I began writing in August, 2010 (yes - nearly eight years ago!) I've published 650 posts. While that seems like a lot, it's still disappointing when I don't have any news to share.

Basically, it's like this: we are unmotivated lumps.

It's cold outside and there's not much sunshine. It's much easier to sit on the couch, cover up with an afghan, cuddle with a cat or two and turn on the TV. I am hopeful that with the turn of the calendar tomorrow, we will be able to find some much-needed motivation. I still have plans to remodel the basement bathroom and transform the 1972 basement room into a craft/guest room. Of course, I need Scott to do most of the work to make my plans come to life (and to help create content for the blog.)

But not everything is bleak here at noTTafarm. We did manage to do one small project. There are finally shelves in the closet on the connector landing, nearly five years after the completion of the addition.

Before the connector was built this closet on the north side of the bathroom opened into the 1920  hallway. The window was replaced with a door.

Since then, the closet has held our suitcases and whatever we could stack on top of them (usually just toilet paper, tissues and paper towels.)

I did the research and found a chrome wire shelving unit in the perfect size. A week or so after ordering, it was ready for pick-up at Home Depot.

We've assembled plenty of these over our time together but we somehow managed to get snippy with each other. I stood back and let Scott do the work, busying myself by taking photos.

With a few final taps of the rubber mallet, the shelf was ready.

Ta Da!

Our suitcases fit perfectly below the bottom shelf, and now we have plenty of room to stock up on household necessities.  Good job, us!

Stay Tuned for Our Next Adventure!

I promise we'll do something this month.
