Halloween and Work Space

 

is just around the corner!

Do you remember the days 

growing up 

and Halloween?

I remember when all the decor 

you put out

was a craved pumpkin with

a candle in it on the 

front porch. 

To be honest we never had

a pumpkin, we just had 

our pulled together 

costumes. We did not

even put anything on 

the door that I remember.

Times sure have changed

and people go all out

these days. Halloween

being my fave holiday I

really love seeing this.

Here are some pics I took

while out and about

in the car.

I love this one up

the street from me...

would really like to know

how they made the 

witches!

This is so cool.

WOW..

On the side of the yard

they have all this.

And they have this on the mailbox.

I have the itch now

to do somethings in my

yard but I gave all my

Halloween stuff away to 

Amber

last yr when I took it

up to put away. 

I don't care for blow ups

but I have to say, this is

cute.

So what do you do when

when you are given a

table base?

You put rollers on it.

Then you top it and make a rolling work table. Saw fits great on it and I put a plug for the drill and stuff. 

I have to be honest...I have areas in my house that are still not unpacked.

I had started on the office once before but its a total mess now with boxes and crap. The den / craft room is a mess. And the basement needs a lot of work. The garage part was put together some what....

However, there is just so much crap that its hard to organize it cause I am working around stuff. Part of the problem in the basement was this~ at the back of the basement my dad had built a large work bench but for some odd reason it was made really tall. Now my dad was not a lot taller then me so the thought was prob to keep kids out of the tools. Anyway, I can't reach the peg board where I hung the tools. I have been struggling on what to do. 

It hit me yesterday. Don't use the tool bench. WHAT? haha....well there was a long section of kitchen cabinets that was taken out of the cabinets when my brother put oak ones in, he put a top on it. It was just inside the step up in the basement. Has doors and drawers. So, I put some hip action into it and moved it to the garage. I am going to install peg board above it for my tools. There is enough room on the side of the garage so that it will not be in the way when I pull the car in. 

Anyway...with all that moving and working in there yesterday I made a huge mess! You know how that goes, move stuff from here to move this there but when you move that stuff from there you actually have no place to move it till you move the other thing around!

Did you get all that. 

I am letting the house go this week while I work in the garage. I plan on getting it workable. Another reason for not using the made work bench and moving the new one to the front of the garage is I don't want to saw in the basement or garage and make that sort of mess. The rolling work bench will allow me to move right outside the open garage, do my sawing and come back in to drill and screw together. Be silly to have it set that way if other tools are in the basement. Now with all this in my head and being applied to the garage, things should flow better. 

Pics will come after I have that mess cleaned up. 

Do you have a special work place for crafts, painting, sawing etc?

What about your yard, do you put out Halloween things? What about the front door? Like I said, I love Halloween, I enjoyed putting things out but I felt I was doing more then my body wanted me to...however I miss it. Also, when I did not have kids at home anymore, I stopped staying home to give out candy. I always plan to go out with friends and avoid the candy given thing.
