Well, we are finally getting a new closet (yay!) Tonight we had our FHE in the closet. Right now our lessons are coming from the book Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon: Is this the place? by Dr. John Lund. Josh pulled out nails and I read out loud, then we spackled together.
But we're left with a dilemma. We have all this wire shelving for which we have absolutely no use. I would like to recycle it or reuse it or something. Does anyone have any use for wire shelving? We would gladly give away everything we have, which includes the metal arms and screws, though all of the dry wall anchors are broken.
Here are some of the shelves:
We have two really long shelves, too, but those are in the garage. We would love it if someone wanted them, because we really, really, really don't, and I worry that we'll just end up dropping them off at the dump.
There were so many holes in our walls, but we spackled them all. Our next goal (Saturday) is to repaint the whole closet, but we haven't decided on a color yet. It depends on what leftover paint we have in the garage.
The pink spots are spackle-- where there used to be holes
In the meantime, all of our clothes are in the Cloud Room. It's extremely frustrating.
Josh also has a ridiculous amount of clothing, so next FHE will be devoted to sorting things out for the DI trailer. Somewhere some lucky XL guy will get to be the recipient of Josh's 500 t-shirts.

We were just talking this morning that our next FHE activity would be cleaning out our closet and making DI piles.
I've decided that doing chores like that is a great FHE activity because you do them together. Last week our activity was to return our cans, which we hadn't done for probably a year. Then we took that money and bought frozen yogurt and books.
You could use those shelves to make a food storage area in your garage, if you don't already have an area for that!
Maybe they would sell on Craigslist. My Aunt sold a decrepit hot tub house thing on that site. I thought she was nuts, but it sold quick. You never know what peoples are looking for.
Depending on the size of the shelves we could actually use them. We have NO shelving in our closets and since they are our only storage it would be nice to have shelves. We are too cheap to buy them for ourselves so if you want to hand them over...we'd take them. Plus then you don't have to deal with taking them to the dump or selling them somewhere.
NOTE: The Spiderman pillowcase in the photo is NOT going anywhere. :)
So I'm curious what Dr. Lund has to say about the Mesoamerican setting for the Book of Mormon.
