Benches and Shelves

I am very tired tonight, so this will be a quick blog.

Yesterday we had a relaxing day because nothing had been delivered, so we could not proceed with our projects.  Instead, we took advantage of Senior Tuesday at the Cinema ($6.00 for a matinee) and saw "Hidden Figures."  This movie is excellent, so I urge everyone who is reading this blog to take time to see it.  We thoroughly enjoyed it.

The bench on the porch extension awaits visitors.

Today our cement, re-bar, sheds, and bench were delivered at 10:30.  The cement is waiting for our attention tomorrow.  The sheds are safely stored in the garage, and the new park bench is assembled and resting on our front porch.  While it is not the most comfortable in the world, it does provide a place to sit down to remove our shoes if they become muddy.  With a few pillows, it would even be a comfortable place to relax for a while.

The shelving unit starts to take shape at the front of the garage.

Since the day became too warm to move cement around, we went to Tampa to buy shelves for the garage.  Rick has been adamant about getting Elfa shelves as we try to de-clutter the garage.  We will do two shelving units: one at the front of the garage to hold the compressor, to store the saw, and to provide a workbench area, and a second one of 12" shelves to hold some of the smaller items that will not go out to the sheds.  We only half-finished the front unit before it got too late to continue.

We must return to the Container Store tomorrow because two of the pieces are cut incorrectly. We really have no room to complete the other wall anyway until we can get the sheds built and out of the center of the garage floor.

The work continues tomorrow toward that goal.
