We got some more things done yesterday in preparation of our soon-to-be addition to our family. We bought a shelf for toys and books at target for the nursery. It has 9 square openings, in which you put baskets for storing things. Its pretty slick, so we had the privilege of putting that together.
Mel helped with the hammering of nails for the back panels...she is quite good with a hammer!
Also, i had to do some work in the closet. i had bought a new shelf to go across the top of the closet (the one that was in there was warped from old age i suppose) and it sat on a ledge made of wooden trim. I bought a new piece of white shelving, but its not wood, and not the most sturdy thing in the world, so it sagged a little bit after setting just one package of diapers on it. Plus it was only about a quarter-inch long enough to reach both edges of trim. this annoyed me, for it was pretty much useless. Not only that, but it sagged down to the pole you hang clothes on so you couldn't get a hanger on it anymore. I wanted to put a bracket support below the middle of it, but because of the trim, I couldn't get it to be flush with the back wall. So yesterday in my home-improvement mode, I ripped the back piece of trim off the wall, borrowed a support from a shelf in the garage, and tah-dah, problem solved!
That is the excitement of what was my Sunday afternoon!
