La-La-La-La La La ... La La La-La-La-La Lockers ... here we go

Here's a little photo-song of the locker installation. Um, if I got that Haircut 100 song in your head, shake it out, quick, 'cause the photo-song is a different song.

HUGE amounts of thanks to my friend Karen for taking all the pictures (as well as helping clean up dinner, because, after I helped get people settled in with heaps of pizza, Buzz and I took off for the doctor, and I missed the whole thing!!!)

Huge huge enthusiastic thanks, too, to Joe and Joe and their wives, for not ONLY helping with the physical labor, but also simply the enthusiasm and willingness to tackle a job that The Grand Lunar and I had pre-discouraged ourselves on. It's amazing how easy work can seem when good friends help you through it!

Here's the wall, waiting for the lockers. I was pleased to have gotten the area all ready, even the baseboard pried off, by locker time.


Make sure to sing along to the Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weenie-Yellow-Polka-Dot-Bikini song:

from the garage to the walkway:


from the walkway to the door:


from the door through the doorframe:


now they're sideways on the floor:


from their end they lay them flat now:


then they turn them all around:


that looks good, move it back now:


take a break and stand around:


find the studs, measure caref'ly:


now you've got them in their place!

stand around and admire:


There's a smile on this mom's face!

*you see there's a few details to wrap up, like the fact they need the left side endcap cut and painted and screwed into place. Which hopefully will put that bent top piece back in place. But I think we can do it! The children are excited. I'm excited. Wooo!

So did the children get to put their shoes and stuff away already? Did everyone claim their locker yet?

I'm so bummed I had to miss all the fun (you too!). But they look great there!

Beauteous! Many compliments on your head for having the VISION in the first place, the FORTITUDE to see it through, and the WISDOM to order pizza on such a night as that. Well done, Kim! The kids must be very excited.

Compliments to Joe, Joe, and the Grand Lunar, too, for not being the kind of "Don't take my picture!" grown-ups one sometimes (often) encounters. Unless you were stealth photo-ing, from a hidden hole somewhere that they couldn't see . . .

Anyway, the lockers look great and so does the whole room. Joy!
