After three years in this house, we finally got around to creating a storage building/workshop (a.k.a. Fred's Man Box). It is high time we had a place to store some of the junk that's been accumulating in our attic, under the house, and out in the carport. Yes, I know a wiser move would be to simply cull our belongings, but we really want to get started on creating an insurmountable mass of paraphernalia for our children to have to sort through many years from now when we are gone. (Isn't that what parents are supposed to do?)
After many hours of planning, measuring, figuring and visualizing what he wanted, Fred took last week off work to hit this project hard, and his parents came down to assist. They were a tremendous help, and I can't believe the progress that has been made. Thanks, Mom and Dad Caldwell! Here are some of the pictures of the project thus far.

You both come from a line of "keepers". Now why would you want to deny your own children the pleasure you're gonna have going through Mom's and Dad's and Mother's and Daddy's lifelong accumulations?? Bet before long you're gonna need a bigger building!
