Aug. 7, 2006 - A State of Disarray
They say here in the south that you can say anything about someone as long as you end your statement with "bless his/her heart". Well bless my wife's heart. No really, bless her heart. She works hard as our homeschool teacher and today was the first day of a new school year. We converted our garage when we decided to start this journey five years ago. Now its a glorified garage. I (along with a friend of mine who is doing most of the work) started a project last Friday (today is Monday) to build a closet in our school room to surround our water heater and add some storage space. Well my friend had to work his regular job all weekend so we have been working a little at a time when we can. Needless to say, the first day of school came and the room wasn't ready. In fact it is a total wreck. We joked that we were going to have to bring in a portable to get school started and for now class is being held in the cafeteria (dining room). We hope to be done before the second week begins. We shall see.
This is before we started

This is the way the room looks right now.
This is the closet currently.
Stay tuned to see the finished product.
Have a great day.

I love the comment about bringing in the portables.... We too, are in the middle of a remodel job that effects our school room, I will have my husband contact you as to where to order the "portable" lol !!
Welcome to HSB, I know that you are looking around for other fathers out here. I know they are here, just post calling all dads to leave you a comment so you can find them and add them to your friends list.
Good luck !
