The First of Many Projects

I'm starting from the bottom up, organizing the basement.  First, I had to move the boxes that were covering up this space so I could put them on this makeshift storage system.  Chuck and I wanted the boxes off the floor just in case the basement ever flooded.  It was cheap, only twenty-two dollars for five cinderblocks and four pieces of lumber!  The sixth cinderblock came from our garage.  Hopefully, this is enough to stack all of the boxes.  I hope Chuck doesn't want the furniture off the floor.  I wasn't planning on hoisting them off the floor as well.  I don't even think our furniture is worth saving!    
Being ever so meticulous, I even swept the space up!  I should've taken before pictures because this area was a chaotic mess.  Clothes and books on the floor, boxes half open.  

Here are the boxes eagerly awaiting their placement on the "shelves".  Hopefully they are strong enough to hold all of the boxes.  I'm imagining boxes stacked all the way up to the ceiling.  There's probably thirty or so boxes!
