Post This hiddy project completed with pictures
ok I have this ugly laundry in my house, but because all the bells whistle and pipes are down in that section I cannot cover it all up...

So here,s what I plan on doing...I had re-done the upstairs back splash in the kitchen and still have one 8x4 sheet and some of the pieces left from cutting...

I am going to remove some shelving I had put up in the basement and clean the cobbie webs and dust of the 2x4,s and fill the section up with canning jars...then I will zit zit(yea power drill with a few screws the back splash up...(yes inside wall)

and yes I will take pics of the project in motion....

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

Post Re: So my next hiddy project will be underway in a few days
here are a couple of pics of the space before I get started on my next project...

once you get past the mess and the cob webs that section of the basement is not to bad..arggg

I put the shelves up down there, we had removed them from the upstairs bedroom to make more space, did not want to see them go to waste, they hold our tackle boxs, paint supplies from doing move in reno's and odds and sods..i will have to take everything off of of the shelves and the shelves down...

ok here is play by play..."with pics" lol

so I had removed everything off of the shelves and taken shelves down...

next I started filling the space up...I took alot of the canning jars from my downstairs kitchen cupboards and the unplugged freezer...(going to have me more space for stuffs)...you will notice the brown strapping to hold that jars in place(those are the spare plastic blinds I had)..yup I stapled gun them in place... waw

This first pic it was 10.19 when I took it, I stopped at that time to make my breakfast, bacon and oatmeal(and I even portioned up the 4 packages of bacon and they are in the freezer...

Image

ok this next picture is to show you the mess I had down there and what I had to work around to get all of this up....and I finally took the clean laundry out of there cause I was dropping saw dust and back spash dust on them... rrr

Image

and in this picture I have the bottom half of the backsplash cut and up...I will jhave to continue this project tomorrow, right now it 12.10 and I have dental appointment at 1.30..

woohoo all done...now I have to clean up the mess I made down there, but stopped to post the pictures...

In one of the corners you will notice I put a piece of carboard up instead of back splash...that is because of the dryer cord and wires along that area..easier access...

ok here it is with all the splash up

Image

and then I repalced the shelves and filled them...and wow what a difference just that one wall makes, it is so much brighter down there...

Image

Image

I have another section i want to start on down there, but I will rest a few days before tackling it... xxx

I'd love an underground house. I think I'm part hobbit.
