A Father-Son Weekend Project

If you know Jason and me at all, you know we both love to read. Because of this hobby of ours, we have a lot of books. I mean A LOT of books. Currently, all of our books are still in the boxes from our move. This is for two reasons.

1.) From moving so frequently in the past six years, two of our three
bookcases were barely hanging on after this last move, so we got rid of
them. This leaves us with only one small bookcase.

2.) Jason insisted that he wanted to unpack the books so
he could catalog them into a spreadsheet to keep track of them. Since he
buys such boring nonfiction books, he can't remember which ones he has and
doesn't have, which makes it difficult to buy more books.

Of course, he kept putting this off, and we didn't have anywhere to put them anyway, so we still have all the books in boxes. They take up quite a bit of space, as you can imagine.

Anyway, last weekend when we went to Columbia, Jason and his dad worked really hard to build us some bookcases. They got three of them built and they are beautiful. I got a couple pictures (not very good ones though. I am so horrible about taking pictures!

They turned out so nicely, much better than the ones we found at the store! (Not to mention WAY cheaper!) Now, Jason and I will stain them to match our other living room furniture and then we can FINALLY unpack our books!
