One evening (Feb 18), I received a message from a friend who said he was getting rid of 5 Ikea PAX units and wondering if we could use them? Each unit came with a slide-out coat rack and a drawer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We said “YES! We’d love to take them.” We figured that if we couldn’t use them, we would sell them on kijiji, and split the profits with our friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the next morning, we made 3 trips to bring home the units – they live a few blocks away.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then they lived in Neil’s office \/ maker space for a week on their sides (they’re too tall for the basement) while we figured out where we could use them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We eventually came up with the plan to use 3 of the units for organization in the maker space in the basement, and 1 each for the boys in their shared bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the 3 units destined for the basement had to be cut down so they would fit. Lara helps Neil to muscle one unit at a time outside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After cutting, it heads back to the basement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
