Not Nesting Yet

Not quite nesting, but we've been working feverishly to get things cleaned up and make more room for the baby.

So far on our holiday break, I finished/completely hacked my toolbox shelf thingy.

Cleaned up the gear room.

Which I've done numerous times, but this time was significantly different. I had and used this box in the gear room,

which I built the summer after my freshmen year in college. I built it as a gear/storage box that fit perfectly behind the cab of my truck and between my roommates and my loft in our dorm room. In my apartment in Spring City it was my gear box and sat in the living room. The same went for our house in Paoli. You can see the scratches on top where CJ used to jump on it to see/bark out the window.

In our house now, where I have an entire room (with closet) for gear, the box was taking up more room then saving it. Soon enough it could be a toy box for kids, but for now it will move out to the garage to hold tools or something.

The next room is our "blue room".

Though it looks in shambles, we've made a lot of progress here. Jen spent the weekend "filing" (either filing or throwing away) all the papers and documents we had stored in here. I've got a huge pile and list on Freecycle to get rid of a bunch of stuff and there's a huge pile for the trash. Hopefully by the end of today we'll have more then just a spare closet, but a spare room as well.
