Home Improvements

A few days ago, Brian and I happened to be at the hardware store. While wandering the aisles looking for the things we'd come for, we came across some hooks one drills into something and then hangs a bike from. Our living room and dining room have been, admittedly, a little cluttered of late. So, we decided to try these hooks out. They worked beautifully, and now five of our whole bikes and our two partial bikes are suspended in the air above the basement floor.

Here's Brian, sitting on the steps next to my racer-x and my jamis.


Here is Brian's canondale, his 1x1, and my modena, plus the two empty frames in the distance.


So, that leaves us with only our two every-day bikes in our living space.

Truth be told, however, the hanging started even earlier in the day when we decided to adorn our kitchen wall with the wine rack Mom and Dad gave us. (It holds four glasses too, but we're waiting to make sure we don't bump into it much before adding such fragile occupants.)


And finally, since the wine rack took the spot Brian's painting used to hang, we moved that into the dining room. This is better, because now it's more visible anyway.
