Blood, Sweat, not quite Tears...

So last weekend B and I both had Saturday off. We decided to make it our project for the weekend to finally get our food storage (FS) up and running. We have been stockpiling for quite a while and with alot of help from his mom Sharon we have a pretty impressive FS for just 2 of us. We still are renting (and it feels like we will for the rest of our lives but thats ok...) and there never has been much room for a dedicated area for just FS. Well we overhauled our office and all of B's tools (there's alot!) got organized, consolidated and in the middle of it Hugo found himself a new bed...
Yes that is a spare tool bag.... what a weirdo lol. Well we finally got our project off the ground, literally. He came up with a really awesome design that is really easy to relocate when we move with minimal damage to the apt.


So knowing that there is never a dull day at our house, we were installing it when the drill made a terrible noise like it had just hit a rock... turns out it wasn't a rock, just B's thumb. He grabbed it so fast and I of course started to freak. It was gushing blood because it was his thumb and it turned out it was a huge gaping hole that was pretty much ripped off. The gross but kinda cool thing was that once this was all over and we were ready to re-tackle the shelves, B picked up his drill and it was totally all fleshy around the bit. Like I said, totally gross but way cool. Disgusting I know...





Either way we got our project done and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. For our fam and friends that are wondering where in the world we can fit such a project, here are our results:

Ta da!! He is pretty much amazing and also super handy!! Yay, I'm so happy to finally get this done and over with. Another fun and amazing adventure with the Grims'.
