Food Storage...

So, Nate and I are going to be moving down to Mesa in about a week. Since we have been living in Provo, we have been blessed to live next to such a gracious sister, Lydia, who lets us do laundry at her house whenever we need to. Last November, Lydia purchased 2 pretty big food storage units and about 50 boxes of canned food to go on those units. Since then, the frame of those units had been put together, but nothing more. Boxes of food, and all the shelves still had to be assembled. Since Nate and I are moving soon, I thought, "hey, we don't have any boxes to move with, and these food storage boxes would be PERFECT!" I also thought it would be kinda fun to do... so... I decided to put together the remaining shelves and put all the food on those units so we could use the boxes.

Little did I know what kind of project I was taking on....


So about 2 days ago while we were doing laundry at Lydia's, I decided to tackle the food storage basement.... to make the long story short... it took me about 2 attempts to get all the bars in the right holes, and probably a good 45 minutes to figure out where to put the big medium and small racks. Once that was all situated, I began opening all the boxes of food to determine how many big medium and small cans of food there were.... 50 boxes later... I realize they are all big cans! there are no medium or small cans, so I thought, well... maybe the little cans are inside the big cans..... yeah right.... so a few phone calls later, I find out Lydia purchased two different sets of food storage... So I load up ALL the racks and plastic things in the huge boxes they came in and took them all the way back to Lindon... (this is pretty far away from lydias house, so it was a 2 day ordeal) Then... after getting all the right racks and sizes of everything, I was ready to start the entire process OVER....

3 hours later...

It's done!!! and categorized very nicely if I do say so myself... and now Nate and I have oodles of boxes to move with!
