Tom's latest project

So our garage is pretty much huge (I guess here in CDA everyone has boats and you have to have a place to store them, so they build 3 or 4 car garages for everyones "toys") and it has been our storage area since we moved here. It has pretty much been a disaster though. So Tom's looked into shelving and it's so expensive, so he decided to just create something himself. Working on the basement has given him a new confidence in the construction field. So Saturday night he built the left side, and last night he did the right side (it's all full now with all the rest of our "junk" in there). He's now putting in some bike hooks for his bikes, bike stalls for the boys bikes with hooks for their helmets, and a few single shelves for his bike supplies. It's really nice having a husband who can fix teeth and use a hammer! Our basement is coming along...almost all framed. Tom's making a fort/playhouse under the stairs down there with a deck that comes out a few feet and a slide. Sounds confusing, I know, but it'll be really fun when it's done. Thanks Kate for that inspiration.

So impressive! It is awesome to see what someone can accomplish when they have enough time. It will make life a lot easier to get all those little projects done now before Tom starts working more.

By the way, I meant to tell you that your family picture is AMAZING! You look like a model and your family is so cute! I can't wait to see a little pink bundle in the next one!
