Wood

After the great morning it was time to work with wood! I had been wanting to build some new shelving in the laundry room for quite some time, but finding the time to do so was a challenge. The first day of vacation seemed to be available, so Aaron, Big Andrew, Jim and I gathered our tools and materials and went to work. The first stop was Home Depot. After quite a discussion about what type of wood to use, we made our purchases and loaded up. It is great to own a Ford Excursion (Hybrid) in these type of situations. How many other SUV's can carry 4x8 sheets of plywood and 2x4x8's completely inside the vehicle? Only the 2x4x10's stuck out a little.

We got organized at home and went to work. The best part was using the cement nail gun. Fire in the Hole! Once we got started, the project went well. Only one trip to the store, and that was for more beer. Three hours and we were done. Finished off the evening by cooking a nice dinner for the "help" out on the grill. It looks great. The interesting part will be convincing the kids it is for storage and not an indoor play fort.
