everything is in it's place...

Chaos is my worst enemy. I dislike it SO much! I thrive on having things organized & ever since we had these children my life has been SO unorganized. It seems that when there is no room in the house we put it in the garage. This was a bad idea from the get go but we did it & we are now paying the price. I would love to park a vehicle in the garage. Maybe one day... Slowly but surely I have made attempts to get our home/garage back to where it was. I must admit having a hubby that does not always put things back where they belong does not help! LOL! I have found a screw driver in the kitchen on MANY occasions. I do have an awesome tool box that my Dad bought MANY moons ago that would be a nice place for it! haha! Anyhow, you get my drift over what I mean by chaos.Last week I splurged & bought the coolest shelf system for our garage. It can hold 2000 lbs per shelf! Not that we have 2000 lbs but I like the fact that it can hold that much! It took 3 men to put it into the 'burb & little 'ol me to get it out. Hubby was at work & in order to get the kids into their car seats I had to remove the shelf on my own! There I was huffing & puffing trying to slide it out of the 'burb! I'm sure it was a sight seeing me pull the sucker out & then dropping it on the driveway. It was HEAVY! I was finally able to get my hubby to help me set the thing up on Sunday! I cannot tell you how happy I was to see the shelf up! I had visions of what I would put on it! CRAZY I know but like I said I thrive on organization! When I do not have a place to put something it just sits & therefore drives me crazy! It took me an entire nap time to get our garage halfway organized. But in the end I was SO happy to say that...

Next naptime can you come to our garage? We are constanly running out of room in the house and just put things in the garage! YEEK! Where did you get the shelf? After its together can it be taken apart and moved?

We bought it at Costco. It was rather pricey but I could not find any shelves that I liked & that were sturdy enough to hold all of our stuff! SO I splurged! LOL! Yes it can be taken apart & moved. You actually do not even need any tools to put it together. It's sort of like hooks that slide into these holes. My hubby just hammered the shelf down to make sure it was in there good. I LOVE them! Good Luck!
