Now, the men are hard at work
finishing a room in the garage to become our AT HOME GYM! Just what my lazy ass
needs! The Mister and I have always owned work out equipment; we just never
really had a proper spot for it. When we bought our house an important feature
was the ability to make a gym. There was a 12x12 unfinished storage area, so we
decided it would be the perfect room to make a gym!
My dad is amazeballs at doing shit
like this, so we can do it on the cheap. Meaning cost of supplies (with Pops' discount)
and beer/food. My kind of cheap labor. The boys have been hard at work on this
shiz for the past 2 weekends and the room is REALLY coming along fast. In the
end, it will have linoleum floors (so it don't stink like sweat), a window with
an a/c unit, and a door. We could rent this shit out.
During the excavation process the
boys found this super cool historical item. It is an invitation to the Harry Truman
(you know, the president) Commendation Awards Dinner. It was in the original
mailing envelope and all the papers were still in there! It is honoring General
Lucius Clay for his heroic acts in WWII. Since we live close to the Harry
Truman Presidential Library, I have a call into them to see what we should do
with it.

Cheap labor from the parents is amazing! I wish we lived closer so I could have my parents do more stuff around our house!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cool what you found!! SO COOL. Sell it on Ebay and make bank! Jk.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about your blog I love - you always make me laugh. You are funny. That is awesome you guys are going to have a home-gym! My parents have one and I always think I'm going to use it when I stay there and I never do. I get lucky if I make it into their sauna to sweat my pounds away haha! In all seriousness - I need a home gym. I can watch my silly shows while I workout. ;)
