Staycaction - Keith's Projects


We didn't have many plans for this week, so Keith took the opportunity to do a few projects around the house:
 
After our near flooding, Keith put a "ceiling" on our patio, under the deck.  Of course, he ended up doing it in the pouring rain, and most of it in the dark by himself.  But it turned out pretty great.
 
 
See all that water coming out?  That's all the water that's no longer trying to flood our basement.

 
He also built a little shelf for Cecily's room.  So I no longer have to store all her diaper supplies on the big blue rubbermaid on the window seat (maybe now I should give it back to Heather).

 
And our favorite project:
 
 
Inspired by this project I found on Pinterest, Keith built Parker & Cecily their own table in the kitchen nook.  It's just a shelf from Home Depot, and 5 chairs from Ikea.  The whole project was under $100, took just over an hour (including assembling the chairs), and it's awesome!  Parker already loves using it for coloring, and now Parker, Cecily, and 3 cousins can all eat at the table together.
