...And the closet blew up!

So, As I said I want our lovely lil blog to be a DIY site as well... 

1st on the agenda.... Ummmm well since the closet blew up... i mean fell to the floor, it gets 1st dibs!

So what to do 1st? We live in a home that has press board in the closet and if you know anything about press board you know it does not hold any weight. WE David has already fixed this closet 7 8 no 9 times. So with a lil advise from the pops (my dad) We used his proform joint compound to fill in all the leftover holes, let dry 24-48 hrs and then used a hand sander to sand the walls with a very fine sandpaper.

Then we took a stud-finder and a level to mark off the studs and where we would hang our supports on because we would hate for the closet to blow up yet again!:)

We were able to find 4 studs to support the closet by.

We then drilled NEW holes not already placed in the top beam that runs horizontally in the closet, because the holes already in the bar did not match our stud placement in the closet... PROBLEM SOLVED -- DRILL NEW ONES!

Once the header bar was placed we had too make sure the bars that the racks would actually hang from were the proper space apart. (a pic of the hubbs taking care of that)

Oh yeah... By the way we purchased this entire closet system of  $90.00 at LOWE's our Favorite store!

Another pic of the hubbs 2nd portion of the rack in place and progress made... we're on the home stretch!

WORKIN' HARD! We supported the vertical bars all the way down the wall with screws into the studs!

Ta'Da! Racks hung!!! (Very easy) Bars UP! (easy too)... Clothes organized UMMM..... hardest part! 

We hope your closet never explodes, blows up...etc. But if it does! Here's hopin' this is helpful!

Biggg Props to the dad! (for brains) And the Hubbs (the muscle)!

Living "The Life"

Why Hello there! I am so glad to have you visit me here at the "new blog"... I have a "soul" mission, and a "sole" mission to help other preachers wives and draw strength from other christian women. As well as for a place just to blog about GOD's graciousness and the wonderment of His Glory. And also some fun insights like awesome DIY's from Yours truly. So Who am I... I am a sinner saved by HIS glorius GrAcE, wife to a preacher (but you could have never figured that one out) in a small town in N.C. and a mother of 1 lovely little miss, photographer, lover of all things DIY, and full time depositor (into our lovely working class;) as well as a new "blogger"... I am so honored to have you reading anything I write and as I pray for the Lord's leadership in this endeavor, I inquire of you... Will you pray to that I may reach others for Christ, maybe even reach you? :) Okay, So whats on the agenda for post numero uno??? I wanna share what is it like as a day in the Life of a Preachers wife... OH to cover that topic in one post (HA) not possible. It is however and honor and a joy. With all of its duties and obligations, it comes with its fair share of pleasures. You always have a friend - Who? His name is Jesus: "Who is this King of Glory that persues me with his love And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need Who is this King of Glory who offers it to me Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace Revealing things of Heaven and all its mysteries My spirit?s ever longing for His grace in which to stand Who's this King of glory, Son of God and son of man His name is Jesus, precious Jesus The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart The King of glory Who is this King of Glory with strength and majesty And wisdom beyond measure, the graceous King of kings the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things Who is this King of Glory, He's everything to me The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things He is the King of glory, He's everything to me" ~~~ Third day~~ PS>. check out this link for full song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRqj61J-J8s ok back to bloggin', I enjoy experiences that I would otherwise not get to experience as just a lay-member of the church. I have the privilege of helping others through struggles, praying for all the needs of those private and personal (yes a HUGE responsibility) very humbling, very special to be entrusted of those around you. I carry a burden too, which again is a huge weight (if carried properly) but also a huge honor that Christ has entrusted us with. The "Life of a Preacher's WIFE" is often demanding with its ON CALL 24-7 hrs. Praying for those "private issues", bearing burdens no one else desires to carry, being presentable to THE LORD, the MR., and the little miss, as well as the other congregational families that entrust in me a designation I desire to uphold. I LOOK TO THE ONLY ONE who can make all of this possible. And with my eyes on him I can not fall, fail, or sink ... I can encourage others, inspire, and attend as a good Samaritan of Christ can ever strive to be.

This is US!!
