OK my DIL is due any day. Her due date is less than 2 weeks away. Maybe I am nesting for her. :) I am again battling my pantry. I took some major steps.
I had a set of china that was my aunts that we were given as a wedding present 30+ years ago. It has been used ...... ZERO times! I am not a china person, always afraid of breaking it. My oldest son did break a cup when he was about 1 year old. I offered it to my DIL. Maybe because she is nesting she took it! This morning she packed it all up. Later today we will take the boxes to her house.
I also had a set of stoneware. Same story, wedding present. We ask for camping stuff and got stoneware and china. It also has been used ZERO times. So being the fast thinker I am, if one DIL took the china it is only fair to offer the stoneware to the other one. She also said YES!!! I boxed it up for her. It will go in her car next time I see her or I will deliver it to her tomorrow if I keep the kiddo tomorrow.
That leaves that area with a few odds and ends. Will offer some of them to kids and the rest will get donated.
All this stuff was in a built in cabinet with glass doors in my pantry. I need that cabinet GONE so I can move a shelf down so I can make a door from the pantry into the bat cave. This will be the kids family closet/changing room. Freeing up that area of the pantry for ????? I'm sure I will find something. I usually do. It will be a narrow room/closet/bathroom if DH gets it put in. That isn't my problem.
My DH is SO (sarcasm) excited about this project. I cleaned the jars out of the bat cave way back in the spring with the hopes of this happening. I didn't keep the focus on this project so it didn't happen. I really want it done so I am doing it. DH knows me well enough to know that it will happen. He usually likes to step in and do it "right" before I do it my way. My track record is I ask and ask for something to be done then I do it. Over the years he has learned when it is time to step in before instead of coming home to the wall being in the front yard or other such events.
I will keep everyone posted on how it goes and who uses the saws-all.
