Jim the Toolman


This weekend, Jim took on the project of reorganizing our closets.  In the master bedroom, the builder only put single rods around the entire closet.  There was so much wasted space, it was driving us crazy.  All of our clothes were jammed in with absolutely no room for shoes (big problem for me!). 

After buying new tools and a new tool belt just for the occasion, Jim and Garrett (his handy helper) got to work.  It was quite a large project:  hampers, drawers, shoe racks, double hanging bars, etc.  Jim is such a perfectionist, everything had to be just right.  Needless to say....it took a while. 


It took the entire weekend to get the closet done.  Garrett was so sweet...helping out dawn to dusk on both days.  They definitely had lots of male bonding time!  Knowing Jim, I knew there would be lots of creative language flying around during the project so Delanie and I went shopping.  No reason to teach her a brand new vocabulary!


The fact that Jim bought (and wore!) a new tool belt cracks me up!!  If you know Jim, you know that he's not a project kind of guy.  That has all changed my friend!  Every weekend, he's looking for a new project to do around the house.  There were times this weekend that he paid more attention to keeping his tool belt around his waist than he did his pants.  Garrett got quite a view a few times!



Finally, on Sunday night, the new closet was ready for business.  They did such a great job!!  There is now room for all kinds of things....scarves, belts, etc.  I love it!!! :)
