It's A Wrap

So, I had one last return to make from Christmas gift giving. The snow pants I bought for DD didn't fit, so off I go to The Kohl's store. Lookie what I got for me and and uber son! I got new shoes! I'm ready to skip along the streets of Minneapolis in March, and Uber son got a new pair of Levis.  Thanks DD, you got us some nice presents! Hahaha!!

SO that task is done, now I've been meaning to stabilize the shelf unit I made for the spare bedroom for quite some time. I can't believe I had to assemble this many tools and stuff just to do this!

See, I added a little bracket to hold the shelf steady. I just screwed it right into the wall. Let me just remind myself that having to use tools left handed and under eye level is a challenge. But I got it done!

And lastly, Santa is all wrapped up for the season. I was looking for a good way to store Ol' St. Nick, and these bags were some samples we got in at work and were going to throw away! Perfect fit for the jolly Big man!

I like it when I get all these little things done!

Next Project

So now I need a shelf to put all of uber Son's stuff on. I love the look of the trendy ladder shelves that are all over Pinterest. Like this....

 I can do that!

 

I popped in to Lowes and loaded up with the wood I thought would work with the plan in my head....not a good sign, plan in my head...oh Lord!

Anyways the nice fella at Lowes cut the boards to the length I wanted so at least I don't have to do that!

These tags with staples in them are really annoying and hard to get out.

 Have I mentioned how much I love my power tools? I do love them. Too bad I can't saw a straight line very well no matter what!

I set up shop in the garage and figured out the correct width for my nicely pre cut shelves.

Looking good! We won't mention how I wish I had gotten screws just 1/8th inch shorter.
Finish assembly tomorrow!!
