Construction has begun

Thursday, February 19, 2015
My hubby promised me that when we got home from Florida he would start the construction in my craft room for the storage area under the stairway.  I thought I had a picture of the huge cluttery mess I had under there just waiting for this day - BUT - you know me, I forgot to double check, therefore no BEFORE picture to compare it to.  This is the space that is under construction
The box you see contains the drawer glides for the cabinets that Dale is building.  This space is pretty deep - 40" to be exact.  You will see how we utilize every inch the best way possible as we progress in the construction.  This will be no quick project because my hubby has a full time job at the church as well as his thriving Soap, Candle, Lotions and more business on the side.  I will need to be extremely patient.  Did I ever tell you how talented this man is?! Well, now you know!!
all the items on this table and the metal rack were all tucked under the stairway, plus I have a BIG pile hidden in his tool room, but you DON'T want to see the mess in there.
I shifted my work station a little bit to make room for construction.  You may remember it from a post way back when Dale made it for me.  Oh, yes he did!! We designed it after a kitchen island, but it is much bigger.  (6' 4" x 2' 9").  It is actually clean, believe it or not! Normally it is stacked with projects in the making, but we hosted a dinner down here for our prayer group from church (13 people), and I had to make a good impression.
The sides were designed just deep enough to hold my 31 File Totes.  This is how we came up with the width of the workstation.
It has shelves like this on both sides.  You can see my little mover cushions under the corners because this puppy is HEA - VY!!
Day one and the cabinet is in the making

Only one bump to his forehead when one of the boards fell against him.  (no stitches but a couple pretty good gashes), seems like we can't have construction without an injury.
Well, check back each week to see the progress he makes.  When he is all done (yea, there is one more project after this one) I will do a video so you can see it all.
Thanks for stopping by!
