Since I am giving up on the truck, been thinking about logistics of materials to move large pieces of wood to complete some projects, especially daughter's room.
Realized a few things. Home improvement stores will cut larger pieces of wood down to size. With the plans I have for her room, I don't need full length pieces of wood. Instead, can buy large pieces and have them cut them in half. That will allow them to fit in the car. Not a whole lot at one time but a few at a time.
Now that other tasks are nearly done and mortgage will be current in 5 weeks or less, I estimate I can get her room done in about the same time frame. At this point, I can build a desk and shelves in her room for under $100 which runs the length of the room. Start with shelves but build them so I can convert them to drawers later. Just start off with cloth baskets from the dollar store to get things organized. Over time, keep adding book shelves and a hope chest/window seat. Can have all of it finished before end of summer.
