David's Latest Project

My new calling in the ward is the Food Storage Preparedness person. So I decided to have a canning night in my garage the first week of November. Oh, boy did David move into action. He put up the attic ladder that I gave him 2 years ago for Father's Day, insulated the attic and put up flooring and shelving in the attic from recycled signs. He enlarged the pantry to a 6 by 13 foot room (over doubling it). He spent alot of time on this along with his father and few other guys from work. This is something we have talked about doing and it's great to have it almost completed. He needs to put shelving up in the new pantry, again old signs, and I'll be good to start filling it up.


Before shot. You can see the writing on the wall. My old pantry size. And now my new pantry. The kids have had fun making it a Clubhouse. A 6 by 13 foot room would make a decent bedroom or play room?? The new storage area didn't even quite take up half of the 3rd car stall so just maybe 6 or 7 years down the road a little kids car might fit. Maybe one of those Smart cars.

So I'm going to have another canning night in January so I think I'll plan on doing it in the backyard!!

Lambo!!! Good job on the modeling buddy.

I don't know if the smart car fits in that space but I'm sure it was measured to accomodate bikes and quads.

Thanks for the pics.

It looks great! I can't wait to see it. Gregg is thinking we may come down in December now. I was thinking I might stay like a month or two or three. Do you think mom would get sick of me? Oh and I love the Halloween pics especially little spidy!

Yeah! You posted! Your pantry looks great and congratulations on the attic ladder. I love ours and it's so much easier to store extra stuff! Love the Halloween pics!
