The days I wake up and think that I am ready for anything are very few and there are many, many days in between. I've also gotten to the point that if I think a project will take more than an hour I am going to plan on completing it over three days or even over three weekends.
Last night I completed a parcel of a large project that I alloted myself ample time to complete. The overall project was/is to make my unfinished basement more comfortable for visitors who may stay with us for several days during the holidays. We already have a nice sleeping area that is like a mini efficiency apartment so the rest of the mission is to work on the remaining areas of the basement. This most recent task has to do with my music and media area. I should have taken a before picture but I did not. Here is the after pic.
Not the best pic but I assure you it was a lot of work. The bookcase on the left was added after I removed several heavy totes, and scrubbed the floor. All three shelves are taller than what you see and are loaded with media, much that was on the floor and scattered about until I brought in the shelving on the left.
The media players in the picture are the Reel to Reel on the left, CD player on the top of the stack, cassette player (I purchased from Endre Barath), receiver, and turntable.
Next project, tile the floor in the bath and add a new vanity. I'm going to give myself two weeks to complete that stage of the overall project.
Improving space doesn't have to be costly or even involve construction, elbow grease... absolutely.
