Cooling off in on a HOT summer day!

A few weeks ago Todd bought a work table from a neighbor at a yard sale.  It is the perfect size for our garage and Todd was so excited to have one!  Now h can get to work workin on things! Our neighbor who sold Todd the table gave him the idea to put up some pegboard on our garage walls to organize all the tools. Todd was able to find some cheap pegboard on craigslist and so began our project.



Step One: Remove all "stuff" currently on shelves and place haphazardly on garage floor.
Step Two: Remove all shelves currently on the garage walls. (hand work when they are put in by nails that won't budge!)
Step Three: Measure ad cut pegboard to desired length to it on walls.
Step Four: Hold pegboard up while other drills it to the wall.
Step Five: Put shelves back up.
Step Six: Organize all the stuff and fit onto one shelf at top.
Step Seven: Cool Off
I forgot to mention you need to do this project in the span of two of the hottest days of the summer at least 90 degrees, hopefully more. Make sure you have two toddlers running around too, getting into all the "stuff' on the floor and who also want to "help."

It was all worth it, because our garage is much better organized and Todd has a place to "work." What is a better way to cool off then to eat popsicles!
 



I love the facial expressions on Joel in the next few shots, priceless!



 "Joel, show me your popsicle"
 "umm...we can't see it anymore, but we see you! Are you looking into the camera?"
 "What do you see in there?"
 "Yum! These are tasty!"
