If you read my blog about our summer trip this year you’ll know right as we were about to leave I discovered a flood on my basement. After a two hour delay of replacing the sump pump and moving some things around we headed out. This is what it looked like after shuffling a few things around and getting rid of most of the water.
Below you can see some in-progress pictures and how the basement looked with things moved out of the table to make it a bit easier to move. What a mess!
This happened in July and I was busy working around the mess to finish the 40k 2nd Edition Challenge. When August rolled around I got into cleaning everything up. One of the first things I did was I decided to turn a negative into a positive by going all in on reorganizing. One thing I did was replace almost all of the plastic shelving with bigger metal racks. I also got a lot of plastic bins that would fit on the shelf so almost nothing is not in a storage bin of some sort.
The below cases were full of random miniatures and boxes full of painted figures that weren’t being properly stored. Now it’s been emptied out, the miniatures that belonged in other cases properly magnetized and stored and its functioning as it should, a display case!
A lot of things were cleared off of this table as you can see from above, but a lot of things are still sitting on it. I consider almost everything on this table as needing to be done “soon” so I’m keeping it all out. Of course in the last month since I called the basement all but done I worked on at least two or three projects that weren’t on this table….
The painting table really suffered from too much neglect from painting challenges and the flood. I really needed to work on this to get it up to snuff!
And here it is now, ready to be used in a neat organized manner! Painting in this space is now a joy as opposed to a total chore!
I’m glad to have my space ready to go, game night and general work on my hobbies is so much more enjoyable now!
