POD-crastination

OK, we are officially in one of those cart-before-horse situations.  We've got a lot of projects to do in the short term that require massive muss and fuss (and dust), so we've retained the PODs we used for our move to keep work- and our precious-few living-spaces clear.  But these projects are taking longer than expected (shocker) and the PODs are costing us money, which cuts into project budgets. 

• Basic budget logic says, "Um, hi.  You have a 4,000+ sq. ft. house with a bunch of empty rooms.  Why are you paying to store stuff in the driveway."
• POD-crastination logic says, "Why move things around a bunch of times?  Your boxes of stuff are high and dry and dust-free.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Wait 'til the coast is clear."
• DIY logic says, "Use sweat equity and repetitive-task-torture whenever possible to save the almighty DOLLAR."

SO, it's 2-to-1.  PODs lose. Domestic open space legislation = FAIL.

We shall dedicate this rainy week to find (temporary, but remotely logical) places for everything and put everything in those places.  And just to make sure we accomplish this, I have invited my mother to help.  Nothing like inviting a task master to your own work party.  Sigh.
