Day 43 - Wow!

Wow! You won’t believe all the work Rich did in the basement last night. An hour and a half of sorting and organizing and you can actually see open space and how it can all come together. A little more decluttering, some big rearranging, and we’re there. Unfortunately it’s 10 pm and so I’ll just tantalize you with that thought and post pics tomorrow, along with a tally. I have a whole stack of things to photo and post on Craig’s List, there’s more trash, and the donation pile is growing, too. Big, big kudos to Rich.

To be honest, I don't think he has been a believer that we could actually create a playspace down there. But obviously, that's changed. Elizabeth went down there this afternoon and just stared open mouthed, then started chanting playroom, playroom. So she's ready. We'll need a space heater, some sort of floor covering for at least part of the space, and some sort of storage options for toys. I'm really looking at the Ikea Trofast system, though it is pricey. Any other ideas?

Meanwhile, just general clutter is starting to build up, so slowly and subtly. I really have to stay on top of it, or it’ll quickly escape.
