The last vintage beer crate we found had one issue…
.
.
Wooden bottle separators that would have to be removed in order to house my vinyl. This was not simply a matter of pulling and popping them out. They were old, warped, and not in any hurry to go.
Ergo… it required tools.
.
.
And since my husband turned his barn and workshop into a man cave …. this meant doing surgery in the living room.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten did not approve.
.
.
After the first twenty minutes the husband was grumbling.
.
.
After the second twenty minutes he was sputtering.
.
.
But when the clock struck a solid hour of remodeling?
.
.
One empty crate ready for part of my record collection.
.
.
Although judging from the price of an old can of that beer … I think I’d rather have it filled with those.

River's world..... 
So…….he does his work in your living room, lol. Lord Dudley definitely looked a bit perturbed 😝

The man is in desperate need of a work bench, which is what I’d hoped he’d build out in the Barn Mahal. But we know how that turned out…

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I’d be afraid of slipping and sending the saw right through the furniture.

A perfect excuse for new furniture. Maybe I should be encouraging this…

The tool pic showed an Estwing 28oz rip face framing hammer. I’ve driven thousands of nails with one of those mamas. Your man knows his tools.

I see the shenanigans continued during my absence… 🙄🙃
PS I love those divider things. Did you find use for them after he removed them?

He carefully removed them in one piece and is saving them. For what, I have no idea…

Barn Mahal? LOL. His Lordship has my sympathies. The saw through the furniture potential might not be so bad if you’re in the market for a new look.

The barn started out as a small replacement storage shed. It turned into a two story behemoth with a farmer’s porch , heat pump, 2 tap kegerator, big screen tv, beer fridge, pool table, leather recliner, full bar man cave. Hence the Barn Mahal.

I love Dudley’s expression. MiMi always ran to the noise, while her sister and the dogs ran away from it. Any time I was working in the house (on a project that needed to be done inside) she would be right up next to me. Looks like he did a good job, So you have a nice box for vinyl.

Dudley is curious like all his feline brethren, but when the noise from power tools starts … he runs.
And yes, the crate is vinyl ready now.
👍

I’m surprised His Lordship wasn’t over-the-moon excited about a new place in which to curl up!
