Today I unmade and remade the closet that my husband and I share. As I mentioned on Day 1, my husband got a job! This came with much shopping for clothes and other prepping. And of course, the nasty realization that my clothes were taking up um, almost all of the walk in closet we shared. My camera battery was dead, so no before pictures, but let me just say there was a dresser in the back that kill a quarter or more of the hanging space and clothes I never wore took up probably half of what was left. After a few hours of hard work I had this:
A HUGE bag of clothes to give away. Plus a pile probably half that size of clothes to be put up–mostly to be put into quilts or photographed before they were given away. Plus a smaller pile of things to be put away in drawers and not hung.
After some rearranging and sorting, my side of the closet looked like this:
Probably a quarter of what I started with, with plenty of space to sperate work from casual wear. And my happy hubby? He now has the same amount of space on the opposite side of the closet. Amazing. : )

So, my days are filled with non-stop running and by the time I have a chance to post my TAD, I am horizontal in bed..so, this is my catch up post. Not that any of these are necessarily horribly creative, but, such is my life these days.
TAD #2 - CLEANING AND SEALING THE COUNTERTOPS
This was Saturday and I felt like crap. I had attempted to do a little too much the day before and I was having aches in places that I shouldn’t have. So, my big thing was to clean off all of the tools, adhesives, pieces/parts and so on that were cluttering up my onyx countertop. I cleaned it really well and then sealed it.
TAD#3 - MAKING A CLOSET WHERE ONE DIDN’T EXIST BEFORE
Sunday was a whole new task. I had to figure out how to install a somewhat decent looking rod to hang my clothes in my new closet. The problem is, the wall is on a roofline and most pre-made closet things you buy are made to go in square, not slanted spaces. So, after spending a good deal of time in the hardware section, I came up with a solution using hitching rings, 1×4’s & a nice chrome closet bar. It’s amazing how much time this took to install. I still need to stain the 1×4’s, but I am very happy with the final product.
TAD #4- THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT
Last night the task was to figure out how to set up the new TV with the legacy receiver, DVD, CD and make it all work with the in-ceiling speakers.
