Toby: A Man on a Mission

When some people get laid off, they sit around and do nothing... just soak up the unemployment.

NOT TOBY! He has been a man on a mission lately! He even ASKED for a "honey-do list"! I didn't know men could do that!

Aside from doing my normal chores... dishes, laundry, grocery shopping... he's been taking on some major taskes (i.e. the basement).

His new task... Operation Clean Garage!

I came home from work on Tuesday to this:

I was seriosly tempted to ask "how much for the scuba tanks?" It really looked like a rummage sale!

It was obvious to me he was sorting out the garage.

Then I walked INTO the garage... and found this:

My reaction: Why is there a whole in our garage ceiling? And what is Buddy (our neighbor) doing up there?

The answer...

Putting a floor down! So now Toby has a place to PUT everything... it doesn't just have to be on a shelf in the garage. And this is also where all our seasonal decorations will go. Very handy! I was extremely impressed!!

They even picked up a set of those pull-down stairs for easy access!!

(And for the record, I did NOT take the picture of the attic of the garage... I am smart enough to NOT go on a ladder in "my condition." Toby took this photo.)

So Operation Clean Garage is in full swing! As a matter of fact, Toby got up at 4 o'clock this morning to go work out there! He's got way too much energy if you ask me!

Then again, maybe he's soaking up the energy that I DON'T have!

Keep up the good work, Toby! I love you!
