we had a huuuuge project in the works here at the house that would take at least the next couple of weeks. we had planned to build a loft office for bill in the attic over the hallway with a spiral staircase access from our bedroom. bill has an office outside the house -- rarely uses it -- everything's at our house. specifically in our bedroom. it gets out of hand quite often. thus, the plan. i was finally going to get our bedroom completely redone, finally get a king-sized bed.
mark arrived home early friday morning; and he, jax, bill, and our friend dt, were going to start the construction (tearing out of the ceiling) this morning. a quick walkthrough of the attic confirmed my worst fear (and i must admit, my fondest wish) -- wasn't gonna be worth the time and money.
so the three guys, testosterone a buzzin', powertools at the ready, came up with a NEW plan! let's put up some walls in the basement! so now -- i heard this but cannot confirm or deny since the basement is inaccessible to me -- we have the bones (and electricity) of THREE rooms! i can't use it, but i've got plans for it, don't you worry. get some of this stuff out of our room. not the desk and computer stuff, just the file cabinet and other stuff that can be stored in one of the new rooms. yay!
and! since bill's planning to finish it all up (the basement) at his leisure, i've got three guys chafing at the bit to redo our bedroom! paint, new floor, new bedding, new desk, lamps -- ANYTHING I WANT! WOOHOO! they promise to be all done by friday! pictures to follow.
and see what's for dessert in the kitchen.

Do you need a professional organizer for any of this? I don't take up much space on an airplane.
