There is much rejocing in the Ardell household!

After two and a half long, long years – the wife now has a HUGE pantry to storage items (she laid in bed last night till the early dawn hours planning how to use it!!)

For those who did not get to see the orignal pantry, let me descripe it real quick. Look at the picture to the right – see where the small 8in shelves meet the larger ones?  

That is where the orignal pantry stopped. Yelp, I busted out a wall and added 18 square feet of usable space. Much happiness! 

In addition to adding space for bulk food items, the recycling bins now have a home – as do the broom (you can barely see them on your right).

oh – look at the floor!

NO – not your floor!!!! The floor in the picture!!

Some people…sigh.[@more@]

The floor in the picture, look at it – I'm very proud of the fact that I found a nice 8 by 4 piece of wood grain flooring on sell. It goes great with the wood floor in the kitchen and dinning area…well.. the color is off, but it's wood grain!

And the coolest part – automatic can dispensers!

Yelp – take off the first can and the second one will roll down to take its place.  

It's a great idea I stole off a friend who build some similar shevles for his wife. 

ah.. life is good.
