This project isn’t entirely finished {much like every other project in my house}, but I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Plus, you might think I was slacking all weekend, and that definitely wasn’t the case. It all started a few weeks back when I sent hubby to pick up some pallets. I make it a regular habit to check the free section of Craigslist, and low and behold there was a listing for free giant pallets and they were right near our house. I sent hubby in search of a motorcycle shop, which gets deliveries on giant-sized pallets. He must have been only half listening because he sent me a text when he got there, something to the effect of, “These are the biggest freaking pallets I’ve ever seen!” But he managed to get 4 of them home anyway. And they sat like this in our yard for weeks.
And then it hit me! Our garage is a disaster. You’d never know that I’ve built multiple storage shelves, a work bench, etc. It looks like crap!





I’ll finish up tomorrow {in my dreams} and take some more pictures for you. Goodnight! I’m off to watch Gilmore Girls with Smart Jr. I am so happy to share one of my favorite series of all time with her. She L.O.V.E.S. it! I own every season on DVD. We are watching it episode by episode. 🙂
Update: Yes, I know, it’s now on Netflix
Looking good! That is a great idea to designate a workspace area. I am eying that workbench of yours. I do not have one. I (we) have been using the garage floor or plywood over saw horses. lol I also like the seating that you use. Ideas…ideas… 😉
Thanks Julie. I built the workbench a few years ago using these plans from The Family Handyman. http://www.familyhandyman.com/workshop/workbench/modular-workbench/view-all I’ve never actually sat at those benches to work, but that’s the plan. Those are from our old kitchen. 🙂
Looks much better! I’m in the middle of cleaning/organizing my shop too. Can’t wait to get to the bench building stage. Feels so good to see the floor!! lol
Hi Anne! Thanks! It’s been a long time coming. And of course I haven’t finished it yet either. My project ADD kicks in and next thing you know I want to make your mason jar soap dispenser. 😉
I love that the “grab and go” stuff is at the door… I need to do this. I could swap the beach chairs for sleds in winter…
You know that was always my plan, but the swapping out doesn’t always happen. lol
