COVID-19 has forced many of us to work from and practice social distancing to flatten the curve. As a result, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my home office. Since I’ll be working from home for the foreseeable future, I decided it was time to clean and organize my office. When I clean/organize […]
In case anyone has been wondering why I haven’t been posting as much, I’ve been finishing my own basement for the past year and a half and counting. Just started on the bathroom today. I’ll be sure to update this post with more details and lessons learned.
