We started working on this last Friday, but then we realized that we needed some wood because the studs weren’t in convenient locations, then we couldn’t find the saw to cut the wood (it was at our camp), then I was in Delaware, and then Poppi was visiting.

Well, the stars were finally aligned today and we finished putting it up and repainted the wall.  I haven’t cleaned out the pan cupboard yet or found homes for the stuff that’s supposed to live there that Ben hid in a giant trash bag in the garage, but I’m going to count this as one mess down because it sure made a mess of my kitchen for the last week having all the parts, pieces, and tools lying around.

We also dug up the garden beds and planted yellow squash, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, onions, garlic, watermelon, pumpkins, asparagus, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and tomatoes.  I hope something grows.  Considering that last year we left the beds dormant, I’m counting those as another mess.

So that’s 8 messes down, 21 (or 91) to go.
