This was Locker Day.

The one thing about our new home is that it is sparse in terms of storage. There are even two rooms that have no closets. So, Earl and I have rented a couple lockers at a storage facility nearby, and we plan to store off-season clothing, real estate signs, seasonal sport equipment, and other accoutrements there for the time being.

This morning Earl, our handyman Michael, and I went to the lockers to organize them for the “stuff” that is to follow. We rearranged the pallets we’d previously acquired on the concrete floor. We put up pegboard for Earl to fill with various items, and we installed metal shelving. I have no doubt that, as time passes, these lockers will resemble Fibber McGee’s closet more than they will resemble Anne Brandt’s storage space. But it’s a beginning.
