I'm too tired to blog. The garage is done. Pretty much. There are a few little detail things left, but it has experienced a major overhaul. We replaced the carpeting out there, which really needed replacing a couple years ago. The stuff that was out there was nasty. To do that we had to pretty much empty the wholde space. I made the Goodwill/Dump run which eliminated most of what Tina and I had stashed out there over the course of the painting project. I should have probably tried to sell some of it on Craig's List, but I needed it gone. Then I had to go to the dump again with the old carpet and pick up the new stuff. I managed to catch three of Ben's friends/bandmates passing by over the last two days and sent them home with various belongings. We swept out every nook and cranny, mopped the floor, eliminated years of grime and countless spiders. Ben worked at the ice-rink both yesterday and today, so I only made him help at the end of each day. He complained as he had other places he felt he really needed to be, but now that the project is done he is extremely happy with the results. He rearranged the furniture a bit, changed around the posters on the wall, and has been "chilling" out there all evening. We have been so focused on the little boys since Shen has been home, so it feels really good to be able to do something nice like this for Ben. Here's a few pictures of the final results. I know you can't tell how much work went into it without the "before" pictures, but honestly, it was too embarrassing to post.
