When we first moved into this house twenty four years ago, we went through the usual first time homeowner spasm of house projects. There was painting, wall papering, gardening, and building storage and work space in the basement. As with many folks, our ardor for house projects waned as other priorities took over. So here I am twenty four years down the road and I’ve decided to work on building some more storage in the basement for tools and materials etc… One part of it will be next to the workbench that I built back then (and I really don’t recall why I didn’t tear out the decrepit table they had in the corner at the time) and the other will replace some rickety metal shelving I have over by the chimney base.
Here’s what the old table (which could be from 1929 based on the lumber) looked like:
You’ll have to imagine all the crap I had to clear off of it and from below it to get to this state. Here is the result of today’s efforts in breaking it down and removing it.
Next thing is to buy and somehow transfer the mess of 2x4’s that I need back to the house in the Audi… Maybe today, maybe tomorrow…
