The Big Move

When I decided to move my scrapbooking room to the basement I knew it would be a big project.

____

I knew there would be lots of walking up and down stairs 

I mean, I am going from the top floor to the basement.

2 flights of stairs down with a load

2 flights of stairs up to get the next load

____

I knew there would be lots of stuff to pack up

I have waaay too much stuff

____

I didn't expect to have so many little issues like:

screws that won't come out of the wall

Shelves that stay on the wall (very very stuck)

even after I have removed all of the screws.

Hmmm

I don't remember doing anything different when I put these up.

and

I didn't expect the bookshelves to be too tall for the room!

(yes I measured)

It should have been fine

But it wasn't.

So I had to disassemble all of the bookshelves

Cut them down

(no husbands were required for the use of these powertools)

drill new holes for all of the wood dowels and screws

you know how that Ikea stuff is with all the dowels...

Then reassemble them in the room

Yes, just the right height.

I still have TON of stuff to do but I'm making progress.

I now have two rooms in my house that look like a tornado has hit them instead of just one!

Go me.
