Tool Shed


It's no lie to say that Mike picked out Vermont home for its huge garage complete with its own storage room and its own furnace.  I think that this shed influenced his interest in our Florida home.









First order of business was to get this organized.  If you know us, you understand--Mr. and Mrs. OCD (or as a friend likes to call us, CDO, because that's alphabetical order).

We scored the peg board at a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store for two bucks a sheet.  Mike's spent a lot of time picking up the extra tools in anticipation of this shed.

There is a fan in the shed, but with the temps in the 80's it really could double as a sauna room.

    Olga - I knew you'd have a place I can sleep if I visit. (However - I'm not great with heat.) My husband longs for more garage space - what is that about men?

    Storage space is vital. Looks like you scored a really nice place to store stuff.
    Also looks like a great man cave for Mike.

    Would love to get that organized ourselves. You would not want to see our garage. LOL.

    I think this is a very important feature for a house. I also love to have things orderly, well most of the time anyway. My husband, not so much.

    I'm back from blogging break. I hope to catch up soon.

    Honey after moving out here to this ole farm house with no closets and no storage sheds I say hubby was smart thinking of this extra space.
    You really did good finding such a neat board for a few dollars.
    I love bargain hunting but we have no neat places in our little town.
    I hope you love your new home
    Love

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
