Much of my stuff is still at our home where my ex lives. We used this house for storage, a place to get away from the kids once in awhile and for others to stay when they were up here. I imagine sometime in the future we will spend a day or two transferring everything but for now, neither of us are in a hurry to get it done.
Today i got the basement pantry cleaned out, insulation put in the ceiling and walls, the shelves dusted and washed and the floor swept. It's ready to go.
I also was able to come up with a couple of plastic storage containers by combing stuff into fewer containers for my indoor worm composter. I followed the directions for one given in the following video:

Drilled the holes with my cordless drill and a spade bit. Found a couple of bricks in the garage and spent some time shredding newspaper, paper bags and cardboard that were down in the basement. With the coffee grounds, coffee filters and kitchen scraps I already had in a another container, I was able to get everything together today and now just have to wait about 10 days to get the worms for it.
I was able to make some room in the spare bedroom and placed a small table by the window. I have a number of ice cream containers I'll use as pots for the indoor garden. Just need to get the potting soil and seeds now and I plan on starting the garden late in September. I think I'll keep my garden simple this winter and stick with radishes. I love radishes and they are easy to grow and mature quickly. I'll plant one pot, then another 7 days later, followed by another 7 days after that and and then the last one 7 days after the 3rd one. This ought to keep in with a steady supply of radishes all winter long and the thinnings I can use as garnish and in soups.

All the stuff I got done today didn't cost me anything as I already had it on hand.
