We did a great deal before I posted yesterday's blog, but Rob had a burst of energy later in the evening and started digging into boxes before we called it a night.
We started before the Daytona 500 was running this morning, but the race was rained out, so we had just continued to go through things waiting for the race to get going. Rob had organized the shelves on the far wall last night. Today we opened each and every box. Some boxes we emptied, some we piled in the back of the garage and some we removed some things and consolidated others. We found printers and DVD/Bluray players. We found the top thread holder to the embroidery machine and the table for the Singer. We found fabric and projects. We found jewelry making supplies, watercolor supplies and my bling bag. We found scissors and more rotary cutters. We found many more rulers... who knew I had so many.
My hip had stopped screaming this morning and Rob did most of the bending so I would not irritate it anymore today. He opened, we looked and I directed where the things should go. I would move some things around and put things away as Rob continued to unbox.
In the end, we cleared out the spot that my car will be in tonight. This is what the garage looked like when we were done for the day with things stacked up to be done at a later date and with the rooms inside cluttered once again, But the garage looks like this now...
This is the view from the door into my bedroom. As you can see, the wall of boxes is gone. All of the large wardrobe boxes have been opened and emptied. The boxes on the left, in front of the brown garage door, are empty and filled with the newsprint that things were wrapped in. In front of those is a new stack of broken-down boxes.
This is now looking at the back of the garage. There is a woodworking bench under the boxes. Boxes are on top of the bench and in front of the desk, but these are the only boxes that remain stacked. They have, however, been opened and the contents looked at. These boxes will need to be done after I get the stuff we brought into the house put away. The brown on the right is the side door to the garage.
This is a closeup of the empty boxes with paper stuffed in them and you can see the top of the pile of broken-down boxes, The snowblower, and the lawnmower are there waiting for the next snow or spring... whichever comes first.
These built-in shelves have been reorganized by Rob and the contents of many project/fabric boxes have been placed on them. They will remain there until I get the stuff inside settled and then I will go over all of the project/fabric boxes and get them set up in a more organized fashion.
This desk is along the other side of the garage. It was covered with stuff from when I first arrived before the moving van arrived. We cleared it iff up to the bottled water and I have small project & fabric totes there too. These will get mixed in with the others as I sort through things.
There are a couple of boxes at the end of that table, close to the door I use to get into the house. They are marked Xmas. But we will go through them before storing them away. We have opened a couple of them marked Xmas, but it was only a small bag of bows and then nothing else related to Christmas.
Be sure to go back to yesterday's blog to see how it looked when we started.
We are tired, but Rob did most of the bending and lifting today, so my hip is no longer screaming. I will have a lot of things to put away this week, but the progress feels really good.
Have a wonderful President's Day and week beyond!!
