This weekend was mostly spent on the un-scheduled replacement of the joists under the dining room floor. The deadline was monday morning, when the floorboards were going to be put back down. What to do with the old joists, which are stopping me from putting the car back in the garage.

An assessment of the old joists reveals a fair amount of useable 2" by 4" timber. Jointing 3 pieces gives me boards that are 12" wide, so the plan is to make shelves that wide to go along the side of the garage. There will be four shelves, each over 5' 6" long, which should soak up a lot of the crap lying around the garage.
