There is a lot of cheaper ways of keeping insulation in place than chicken wire. MY local DIY store has a plastic netting which is ideal for the job. In some areas we've also just used the netting from vegetable sacks. Hope your anti-procrastination day works out ! I agree with mommaof10.

It took all day with the 2.5-year-old's "help" but it was worth it. Oh, and I'm been putting this off since I was pregnant with her. Got rid of stuff and moved stuff around so it's more cooking friendly. Great idea! I have many, many more things to do around here! Last Monday I reorganized the kitchen cupboards.

Chicken wire is just waaaay to expensive for this application. Get the chicken wire, but use it for your chicken tractor instead! Go to Home Depot or Lowe lumber section. They wrap their incoming bulk lumber with plastic straps. When they open their bulk lumber, they throw these straps away. We've asked for them before and they've gladly given them to us. Then use a staple gun to staple these straps from floor joist to floor joist about every 18" to 24" and within about 6" of the end of the insulation piece. We actually did this for one of our jobs last year. Worked great! Have fun!

He has days where he doesn't 'get' that bed is for sleeping so I appliqued a picture to hang on the slats of the top bunk (people ask "won't it keep him awake?" but the kid is awake anyway, he may as well have something to look at!)......for his birthday..... in August - this week I will hang it properly. In my defence it HAS been up at times, just not properly so it doesn't stay there long. We have triple bunks, with our special needs 5 year old in the middle bunk.

You build a box out of wood posts and chicken wire, put a top on it that can be lifted up and down with a latch. Just lift the lid and throw the gargage bags in the cans, like a dumpster but neater.

Things that have been on the list for a while are getting all the photos in photo albums, creating Katie's and Arabella's first year scrapbooks. But some things that are alot easier to actually work on are the Wizard of Oz curtain's for my step-mom's Oz room (they were a Christmas present but the fabric arrived late and then there were unforseen problems that I had to recreate how I was to do the curtains) I hope to have these done by next Sat as I will be seeing her and my dad that day. Also to finish the family calendar by next Sat. or I can hand it to family rather than mail it and they will have it in time for Feb. (I will be including Jan of 2010 to make up for missing Jan. 09) There is also Katie's blanket that I started when I was pregnant with her, and Arabella's blanket and of course when we find out what we are having a blanket for the new baby (this is my thing). Okay is my list long enough or what. It's not like I haven't been doing any work on these things but they are not finished and need to be. I have also been working on alot of other projects and then of course there is schooling the kids, cleaning house. Okay I thing I need to go work on something.
