We have rented a second storage locker near our new home to hold some of the things that our garage currently stores for us. Our new garage is about half the size of the present one; and, while we’re trying to be surgical about this downsizing move, we can see that some things need a temporary home as we divest ourselves of them.
Earl rented the locker yesterday, and today we raided a carpet store and took a variety of wooden pallets (with the owner’s blessing) to set on the concrete floor of the locker in case there are water issues. Earl packed a broom and two pair of garden gloves (Pallets are raw wood, full of splinters waiting to find new home.) and off we went to prep the locker for various items to come. He swept; I watched. Great division of labor here.
Then we hauled the pallets from the car and laid them in the locker, whose walls are simple plywood. Given my love of decorating I felt those walls needed some artwork and said so. Earl just shook his head as we got back in the car to listen to the Notre Dame/Michigan State football game.
But, honestly, I know just the art to hang. It’s one my son bought over 25 years ago. It won’t work in our new place, but it will be perfect for our plywood addition.
