Don’t you just love that line in A&E’s Pride and Prejudice? I never thought I’d get to use those words myself.
The storage room at the cottage is where we strive to keep supplies and clean linens for rentals neatly organized along side our personal effects. We had a system of Rubbermaid tubs, but accessing the correct tub could be a bit fraying. Always, it was our intention to get in there and “sort it out!” And this weekend, fittingly known as Labour Day, we did just that. Gutted it, cleaned it and Cottager erected the most basic of plywood shelves on the approximate dimensions of 22″ (deep) x 4′ (wide) and 22″ (high).Eureka! – we are organized.
Once again, the covered deck came to the rescue, as the project was able to go ahead despite some squally weather.
Cottager was able to stay with the task, through wind and rain.
We may get around to painting these shelves some day, but I doubt it. They are what they are.
Very basic shelving is all that was called for.
Finally, we can put our hands on what we need at a moments notice. A few more bins are required, and then clear plastic sleeves will make changing labels and reorganizing, when required, the work of a moment.
Now if only the rest of my life was so tidy...
Now about this shed: We’ll be saying prayers of Thanksgiving when we tackle this one. But Cottager’s new roof looks good and the contents are nice and dry. Just . . . need . . . one more . . .day. . . at cottage!
