Hey everyone! What's up on the prep front today? I'm checking the ads in my Sunday papers for bargains, and also checking out shelves on the Menard's and Home Depot websites - gonna shake up the pantry storage a little bit and try to reclaim the closet in the grandsons' room for their clothing, etc. - AND get the pantry stock in an area where temps fluctuate a lot less; ie: down basement. It will require 2 - 30" shelf units, plus extra shelf boards. Pretty sure I can make do with one row of 3-4 jars/cans/etc... of each item and a weekly 're-stocking list' to replace what I've used from downstairs storage. Maybe that will help out my inventory issues as well. (If I put a lock on the darned door lol!)
We are also going to clear out a storeroom in the shed and give it a good cleaning, then move my 'extra' canning jars - that would be the ones that still need sorted/washed - into that area. We are having the shed painted, so need to get them moved within the next couple of weeks.
When we clear out that room, I'll be gaining at least 3 sets of metal shelving from there - they will need to be cleaned up and painted before being moved either down basement for food storage or to the other storeroom in the shed for maintenence items - plumbing/HVAC/carpentry/etc... supplies.
I am hoping to be able to go back to work next weekend - although my co-worker says that it's been horrible there lately - joint commission. (Probably don't need to say more than that!) We got dinged for some of the strangest stuff - like having chairs and bedside tables in patient rooms... I was planning to retire at age 70, but 65 is looking better and better. Guess that means I'd better make sure I have plenty of prep stock and garden supplies on hand before then
Take care all; stay safe out there!
