I took advantage of mild temps and sunshine today to tackle a mini-project outside.
Seeing as how we don't have a proper garage, hubby and I have been using our oldest (aka dead) van as a substitute. Mostly, we've used it to store the bulk of hubby's painting equipment from a previous work life.
Of prime interest at this point, is getting it cleaned out so we can sell the van. I had a rough idea of what I'd find, but it was better than I thought. The instant gratification was gathering up another dozen clean buckets... five with lids! I could have stopped right then and been satisfied with the progress.
Then, I spotted a roll of plastic sheeting. In the very back of the van. Oh, I forgot to mention, only the driver and passenger doors open. The side and rear doors are stuck shut. I had to crawl from the driver's seat to the middle bench behind it. Yippee...?!
I did get a little additional return on investment for doing the mad scramble - I found what appear to be small panels from a wire dog crate (they're in the white bag) and a few other whatnots to bring inside for now. And, as you can see, that's almost a full roll of sheeting.
I did leave a few heavy things in there, because it's going to take a team effort to get them out. There was a nice grocery bag full of very dry wood, assorted types and lengths of lumber, and an almost full box of copier/printer paper. Once those are removed, then I think I'll be able to reach a nifty set of stackable drawers that are in very back corner and a small folding table that's under the lumber. Those treasures, however, will have to wait for a different day as I have a sneaking suspicion that my back is going to have something to say about today's acrobatics.
Now, where did I leave that bottle of aspirin....?
