A Penny Saved...

For about four years or so Neal has been putting his change in a Coke-a-Cola bank. I have also contributed, but I use cash much less than Neal. A couple of weeks ago Neal decided to count his change. He must have been board. I don't have an accurate number but I do know that it is over $120. I made a few suggestions on how we should spend the money. I suggested we could tint the windows on my truck or have a hitch put on. I know it is always about me. I'm not going to lie I'm very spoiled.

However, after the garage/house being flooded and having to move everything in the waters way all by myself I decided that Neal should get something he has been wanting to get for a long time now: Roof racks to store our crap.

This is what the garage looked like after I moved everything out of harms way. I know is doesn't look too bad, but all the stuff is lined up & hidden. Also keep in mind it was about 105 that day and we usually park two cars in our garage.

All the change

Neal had to go up into the "attic" to mark the studs

Rack number one

Working on rack #2

All done

Look at all that stuff! Two thirds of it is Christmas stuff.

I would include a picture of the whole garage but it is not back in order yet. I started working on it after the water heater was installed but the heat was making me dizzy and lightheaded. I'll try to remember to post an "After" picture, but I make no promises.
