So last weekend it was raining and I got a bit anxious about the status of the house painting (meaning we hadn't really even thought about starting yet). I was all gung-ho to buy the paint, grab a brush and start painting when Eric reminded me of the prep work. The dreaded prep work. Before we paint we have to scrape. Before we scrape we have to pressure wash. Before we pressure wash we have to move everything away from the house. Before we move everything we have to organize, throw away and put away all the crap that's cluttering out outdoor lives. And before we could do that, we had to build shelves in the shed so that we would have a place to put everything we had deemed as keepable. So we set to work building the shelves in the shed in order to embark on the long laborious tasks involved in preparing to undertake the long laborious task of painting...

Surprisingly, the building came off without a hitch. We had a good time doing it, didn't argue much, and the shelves turned out quite nicely. The only real downer was that the project did require a trip to Lowe's for materials. The dreaded trip to Lowe's... Good god, I hate that place.

So, there they are. The shelves. With stuff on them.
