Upgrade!

Today I hauled out the drill, drill bits, measuring tape, ruler, pencil, screw driver, tape, and screws in order to hang Ikea Blecka hooks inside the master closet doors.  It took me all day!  I started during the baby's first nap: I measured the size of the hooks, and the distance across the top of the door, then used excel to calculate the spacing. During the second nap, I marked out the placement of the hooks on the door and then taped them up (to make sure they looked right).  A little later on in the afternoon I attempted to permanently install those bad boys but the baby freaked out!! The drill was too noisy I guess. (Well, to be honest, he is not the only one around here who freaks out when I try to use any power tools.) So I had to finish up after I put the baby to bed. 

Strike one item off the list!

His side holds belts. I hung some necklaces on my side, but I will re-arrange things again, since the beads go 'clack-clack-clack' against the door when I open or close it.  'clack-clack-clack' ...That will drive me insane.

  1. You ARE competitive ;) Good for you for getting one thing off the list! My baby hates the sound of power tools too.
