No R&R in Maui – Building Custom Closet Organizers

When my dad asked me if I wanted to go up to Haleakala volcano to sightsee after he picked us up at the airport in Maui, I told him that I’ve been there and done that. So instead of soaking the rays and sipping pina coladas on the beach, we headed out to Home Depot to buy supplies for the closet organizer in one of his guest bedrooms.

I do love to build furniture – I’ve built just about all of the furniture in my house, office, and school.  So as my dad and I perused the closet organizer section of the store, we got so excited that we bought enough supplies for 3 closets!

That night I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited to put these closets together. 

I thought it would take a day to install all 3 closets, but boy was I wrong.  Finding studs in the walls of his old beach house was impossible – I swear the house was built without 2” x 4’s”!  And there were no 90-degree corners! Then, I made so many mistakes, I’m surprised I got it done before I headed back to California 4 days later.

But it was fun.  Doing projects is something that my dad and I have in common.
