Two senior girls and I met up this morning at the library to research and brainstorm some more. (Yeah... we're kind of nerds. That's why we need other people there to come balance us out!) We found several pages of information, including one idea to very much move forwards with, so, it was a good morning.
After a break for lunch and some God time to figure out where we were supposed to go next, we got to enjoy the wonderful fun of calling appliance stores looking for large boxes. (And, no, there were no audible voices from heaven telling us where to go or what to do, just a sense during our God times that we were supposed to be “here” this month, doing “this” - whatever “this” turns out to look like each day – and that God always has a plan. So, we just went for the logical next step!)
Turns out that: the door at Sears where you pick up appliance boxes is on the opposite side of the store from the actual appliance section
dishwasher boxes are very awkward to carry if you parked, say, by the appliance section rather than the pick up door
you can, in fact, fit both a dishwasher box and a teenaged girl in the back of a small car
A dad provided an oven box (which can also be added to the backseat, so long as you have a highschooler who doesn't mind being a little squished), a mom provided some spray paint, and the car, which more or less contains half of my apartment, provided knives/scissors for cutting. So, we spent the remainder of our afternoon beasting chunks out of cardboard boxes at a park near the river. And, in the end, we left with two unpainted cardboard jail cells.
That project is still in the works, but, when we get a few more things nailed down, we will let you know all about it. Or, you could come join us, and find out about it right away! *hint hint*
