These cold mornings remind me of why I don’t like the cold weather … lol. Even though it started in the low 40’s this morning, it warmed up to be a beautiful sunny afternoon in the 70s. After a devotional and morning prayer, Bob handed out another ‘full sheet-er .. oh no!’ ;-).
Our task today was to install shelving, rods and brackets in all of the closets. We started in the laundry room and installed two adjustable shelves. After installing the 3 wall standards (that’s a new term we picked up from our task list), we cut the shelves to the proper length.
One closet down, 3 more to go…(note the proper clearance from the electrical panel 🙂 )
The master bedroom closet was next. It’s a large closet, so it will need three closet rods in a U-shaped configuration. We were getting good at using multiple levels and the stud finder to place the brackets in the right place.
We then cut both the closet rods and shelves to the right length and attached them securely. Getting a screw into the small space is a challenge, so Bob showed us how to use his long flexible bit. He has the coolest tools! 🙂
At one point, we were trying to put the plastic end caps on the rod. Since they are snug, it needs some coaxing with either your hand or the side of a hammer to get them on. We had a good ‘belly laugh’ moment when the end cap kept popping off. We had the whole team wondering who was having so much fun in the closet … lol :-). Bob had to take our picture …. I was wiping my eyes from laughing so hard!
It looks great!
We then moved into the other two bedrooms. We were able to complete them quickly, since we had a system going.
While we were in the closet all day, the others on the team were making great progress. The bathroom tasks are completed, and ready for the plumber to hook up the water and the toilet.
The kitchen is ready for the counter tops, sinks and microwave to be installed tomorrow.
Progress was also made on installing some of the light fixtures, along with a very time consuming caulking job around all doors and baseboard trim.
We were blessed with another productive day. God is good!
Love the title In the Closests
