We spent the rest of our weekend in the coolest part of the house - the basement. We bought two more shelving units to create more storage area, and also grabbed more giant Rubbermaid storage containers. Mike jokes that we will have 50,000 Rubbermaid containers someday... he's probably right. I love those things.
While working in the basement, we saw light. The bad kind. The light that says "Look, you have a crack in your exterior walls and there's nothing stopping bugs, rain, and snow from getting into your basement!" We discussed some options (spray foam the entire basement? Patch the visible holes with concrete and get an energy audit?) to solve this dilemma, but thankfully it's summer and we can take some time to think things over before we make a decision.
On a happier note, Mike found a huge oyster shell on our Sunday morning walk. It's on our mantle now with all of our other beach finds.
Oh! and I got frustrated that I couldn't find a compost bin (well, that's not true. There are plenty of them online. But they were expensive AND I would have had to wait for it to be delivered.) So I went online and found this article on about.com and made my own!
I never knew how fun it was to use a drill bit. It got kind of addicting. Hopefully we will have some great compost for our garden next spring!
