...in the works. With the new guest room completed & nothing on my calendar at the moment, I am beginning a transformation of the previous guest room into an office for Glenn. In addition to his day work he is self-employed with accounting work. Something that he may continue after he retires from DHA.
Now here is the part of this project where I would normally call my dad for his advice. If my project was near a "visit from him", I'd set it aside and we'd accomplish my "To Do" list when he arrived. How I miss these calls to him. Dad has been in Heaven for the past two years watching over us.
So I emailed the next in line to my father and a phone call later I was seeking advice from my brother. He is very much like our father and can do almost anything. And yes, like my father, he told me that he would love to be down here with me and do it for me.
So with good instructions from my brother I began the "Office Room" transformation.
The room is in fairly good condition with the walls having been painted some years ago. My plan is to convert the closet space into a storage space complete with shelves on the left & right of the closet. This will allow Glenn to keep his business books in one area.
At Lowe's while purchasing the utility shelving boards,I got them to cut the boards to equal sizes for me.
Arriving back home & unloading the boards from the car, I changed to work clothes. First, I checked our left-over paint supply to select the color that I wanted to paint the inside of the closet. (There were some scuffs and marks on the walls.) With the color chosen I set out to start with the closet first & then to finish with the boards.
Now for the boards & closet to dry completely before setting in the brackets for the shelves.
***********
All is dry and I am going to practice on my skills.
Thank goodness it's just a closet.
And my work will be hidden...if I screw up.
***********
With my tool kit, drill and bag of screws, I select the ones that I need to complete the project. Shelving, cut & painted & sitting in the garage, and the brackets have been moved to the office room.
I used painter's tape the hold the bracket in place as i screwed in the screws. Two shelves are in and a third is almost done.
Shelves are in with books already on the shelves.
My project is completed and
I am really happy with the results.
I only hope that during the night
we don't hear a "loud crash". HA!
