This, embarrassingly, is the before picture:
On Sunday, we went to two Lowe's stores to get all of our goodies. This is what we went with:
On Sunday night we were able to get all of the cabinets put together. The first one took a little while, but after that it was pretty fast. Total, 4 wall cabinets, 2 floor cabinets & a jumbo cabinet.
Bright and early Monday morning I got up and started moving everything out of the garage so they boys could work. This is what my yard ended up looking like:
It started raining pretty hard, so my mom and I tarped the stuff in the yard and the boys closed the garage door. We stayed on the porch to make sure no one took any of the stuff laying around. All of the sudden Ryan came out with his hands bleeding all over. Apparently there had been an accident. My dad's pants got caught on the ladder, he fell, knocked Ryan off his ladder. The end result was a broken fibula, fractured ankle bone, displaced tibia and muscles/tendons for my dad. And, sliced up hands for Ryan. My mom took them to the ER. Dad couldn't get a cast because his leg was too swollen. Ryan got stitches.
When Ryan's hands healed up enough, we got to work so we could put the garage back together and start parking there again. It's not completely finished because, well, M has some health issues creep in to the mix too. But, this is how it's looking right now:
Good enough for now. We still need to hang some rails on the other side. And the cabinets hung on the walls aren't finished yet, so we can't put anything in them. But, most of the stuff is organized and out of the way, and I can park in the garage again. We'll call it a win...after a serious LOSE on Memorial Day.
