Making Room for VIPs

My brother-in-law is our builder of record (definitely a VIP) and he and my sister will be staying with us during the building of our house. Our long-range plan is to wall off a 9x12 area in the metal workshop and put a bed and window unit it in for them to stay in. That is still a great plan BUT until the foundation for the metal shop is poured and the metal shop is built, they will be staying with us in the 5th Wheel (aka "trailer" and "RV").

After they stayed with us on Friday, I realized we needed to make some more room in the trailer. So I spent most of Saturday going through every cabinet and piece of furniture and packing up every item that we were not using. Then Carl came up with the idea of taking out the table. We then went to the trailer's storage hatch; cleaned it out; and freed up even more room.

Today we made a run to (a) deposit "stuff" into our store room; and (b) take more "stuff" to Goodwill. We also went to Home Depot and found "over the door" hooks to install so that my sister and brother-in-law will have a place to store their "stuff."

I think we are officially ready for our VIPs to show up on Tuesday :-)
