Busy Day (2004-8-22)

Productive day today.  Cleaned out the storage closet.  Took a load of stuff to the dump.  Cleaned out another corner of the garage.  Put up two more sheets of drywall in the garage.  Donna built a storage shelf for the garage and reorganized a bunch of stuff.  I cleaned out Christopher's turtle's tank.  Donna's done [...]
