They usually stay in the freezer for about 7.5 months on average..
The carpet is already ripped out.Most of the furniture and junk has been moved out..
The wheels are turning as we’re trying to figure out how we’re going to turn this mess into something beautiful.. We’ve got our work cut out for us this time, same as always!A few weeks ago I shared with you how I had completely blown it as far as taking care of our yard/property/whatever you want to call it over the Summer.At that time, I started a system of 15 minute daily yard work sessions, hoping to be a little more disciplined in getting things taken care of that were bugging me.I was also really trying not to overwhelm myself and run screaming for the (non-existent) hills..
Little things that bug me are getting taken care of and I don’t find myself putting things off until that magical time in the future when I have a whole day that I can/want to spend working outside on yard clean up..The idea behind this system is to find something, anything, to do each day for around 15 minutes on whatever project (the yard in this case).
It’s about seeing how much you can get done in 15 minutes, but also how much you can get done when you develop a habit and use it 365 days a year.
So that means gardening isn’t just for Spring and Summer, it’s for taking care of a lot of the clean up in the Fall and Winter too, so that when the warm weather hits, you don’t just throw in the towel because you think you’re so far behind..Old shameful mess out, new organized shelving in!.
We can put stuff we use down there now!And find it again!.
So for $454.44 we got a basement.From what I’ve seen on DIY shows, the cost of adding a basement below a house is something like $100K, so I’d say we paid a fair price.
