i used red paint to determine where i needed to screw in the magnetic catch

I am a Federal employee & was out of work on furlough for 5 weeks from 12/22/2018 through 1/27/2019. During my forced vacation I managed to get a lot done at home, some of which I’ve already shared. This post is my last furlough project post and covers all the random, small, miscellaneous things I did!

the new binder looks great and stores my dvd collection in one small space

I am a Federal employee & was out of work on furlough from 12/22/2018 through 1/27/2019. Thankfully we are back at work now! My 6th furlough project was to transfer my DVD collection from storage towers into a binder case.

a closeup of the new dining room storage bins and labels

I am a Federal employee & have been on furlough since 12/22/2018 [thankfully it finally ended and I’ll be going back to work Monday!!!]. My 5th furlough project was installing more cubbie storage in our dining room. I briefly thought about building something, but the wood alone would have cost more than the prefab cubbie units!

the mason ball jars look so pretty with colored paint in them

I am a Federal employee & have been on furlough since 12/22/2018. I’ve been keeping busy with projects and deep cleaning. My 4th furlough project was transferring all of our paint from cans to mason jars.

I am a Federal employee & have been on furlough since 12/22/2018. I’ve been keeping busy with projects and deep cleaning. My 3rd furlough project was replacing the dryer vent in the laundry room. This project wasn’t very exciting, but needed to be done.

the completed shelves i made for our front hall closet

I am a Federal employee & have been on furlough since 12/22/2018. For my 2nd furlough project I built additional shelving for our front hall closet. This is something I’ve been meaning to do since 2015!

the newly refinished cupboard looks wonderful!

As some of you know, I am a Federal employee – I have worked for the Dept. of Commerce since 1993. I have been on furlough since 12/22/2018. I’ve been keeping busy with projects and deep cleaning. My first “furlough project” was to refinish the small 3-drawer cupboard in the living room.
