How We Spent Our Saturday

Today has been a productive day at the Mecham house. I cleaned the main floor while Anthon worked in the basement. Our basement is unfinished and we've been talking about finishing it since we bought the house...2 years ago. Anthon has had a little bit of a slow time with his heating and air business so he's had some time to work on the basement. Our first priority has been to finish the food storage room.

Apparently it used to be a root cellar so the floor was all dirt! Anthon dug out all the dirt and put cement down.

Then, a few months later, he framed and sheetrocked.

And today he finished the first set of shelves. We were going to buy those fancy shelves that automatically roll your cans so they are first in/first out. Anthon took one look at those $300 shelves and said, "I can make those." And make them he did!

I'm so excited to be able to start buying food storage now that we have a place to put it!

After cleaning the house I took some family pictures for someone in my ward. She needed someone to take family pictures for her that was cheap and I am free so it worked out. If you remember, I blogged about wanting to become a good photographer so this was good practice for me. Shelly said I could post a couple small pictures that I took so you can see how awesome I am.

And to finish off a very productive day, we are going on a date!
