It’s up, it’s good. The dust has settled and the cubby has been put in place. As you can see…it’s already getting used. All that’s left is to add a little bit of paint. Stay tuned.

DIY Project – Part III
Mike hard at work!
Meet my husband, the Sand Man. Now that the boards have been cut and glued, it’s time to sand them to the smooth texture of a baby’s butt. Why…I’m not sure, but that seems to be the plan. My husband has been kickin’ up sawdust in the garage for two days now and SOMEBODY is getting a little impatient. Can you guess who?
“Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Huh? Huh? Huh?”

DIY Project – Part II
My husband was busy sawing his first boards in the basement this weekend. In the process, he made the lights flicker and killed the microwave. OK, maybe he didn’t kill it, but he did blow the circuit.
After the boards were cut, he had to glue them together. I’m learning a lot about this woodworking thing. I always thought you just nail a few boards together and call it done, but apparently when you use “real” wood (vs. plywood), you have to glue smaller pieces together to make one big piece.
Anyway, he’s got two sections glued together so far. I believe he said there were eight. At this rate, something tells me the finished product might not come until the kids leave for college and I don’t need mudroom cubbies anymore.

DIY Project – Part I
So, when I told my husband that I wanted to buy something to hold the kids coats and shoes, I was envisioning those cute mudroom lockers/baskets I ogle from time-to-time in the Pottery Barn catalog. He had another idea.
“OK. I’ll build it.”
“What?”
“Yeah, it’s not that big of a deal.”
“Are you sure?”
