Another Home Improvement Moment!

Thursday of last week my water heater broke. Good thing I renewed my home warranty... one call (with a $49 service fee) and I have a brand new water heater.

But to get the water heater in, we had to clear out the storage closet on the back porch. Wendy and I have used the space opposite the water heater as storage for our camping gear and luggage. When we first moved in, it was pretty organized. But as time goes on and we go on trips... well, I'm sure you can imagine the pile of crap we had in there. Wendy cleared it out for me and I had her leave it in the living room to inspire me to finally getting around to building some storage shelves out there.

And that's what I did today (with the help of Kathy, my blogging inspiration). With some measurements and a trip to Home Depot, we created this...

...so that this...

...could look like this...

...with room to spare!
