Finally in my soap lab

[reinbeau]

My son, bless his heart, told me he'd build me a soap room in a room in my cellar. There was a bar down there when I bought the house over 40 years ago, but it was never used. He reconfigured the room, gained a few square feet more for it (it's overall 14x16' but there's bumps around the furnace and some shelving), planned out the lighting, there's even electrical plugs in the ceiling so I can plug in stick blenders in the middle of the room! Thing is it took over two years, and for those two years I didn't make much because my stuff was scattered all over the house.....well anyways, it's all in one place now and I am loving it. This is a video of the space.

Yey! You must be ecstatic. And it looks like suck a calm, cozy room to get lost in soap hehehe

Oh btw, I love your voice lol

 

[SaltedFig]

Loving your lair!!

 

[dibbles]

Awesome! What a great space. I love your mica collection, and FO cabinets.

 

[Meena]

Loved your video! I recognized your accent before I saw you were south of Boston. My dad was from Southie and my mom from Roxbury.

What a fantastic room! Tell your son I said so.
So worth the wait, eh? Oh, and I am properly jealous.

Nice ! I am jealous !
Don't forget the Dehumidifier down there. You know how basements in New England get

It's in the other room behind that little door I found that out really quick. Moved the soaps down there over the summer as things were coming together. My cellar is thankfully dry in that we don't get water down there, but it's definitely moist. I got a nice 50 quart dehumidifier that does a great job.

You must have a great son. Great craftroom.

 

[reinbeau]

He is a great son. He's an electrician by trade, but knows how to build most anything. I'm grateful to have him

 

[IrishLass]

Awesome room! What a wonderful son to do that for you! I loved hearing your voice and accent....reminds me of home (grew up in New Bedford, and N. Dartmouth and Swansea MA).

LOL Yeahhhh....I'm known for breaking that out every so often. Now, I don't know if this is true in the part of MA where you or Reinbeau live, but where I lived, all of those missing r's tended to show up in words that ended in 'a', such as the word pizza, for example....lots of folks (not all, but several folks that I knew) would call it pizzer instead. I guess those r's have to go somewhere! lol

So the R thing is more the towns near RI/CONN I think. We don't say that up here. I know N.Y. puts an R on everything.
Linda is LindER
We give our R's to NY lol

 

[reinbeau]

Yea, that's a Rhode Island thing.

 

[reeeen4]

Wow that's so nice of you son! looks awesome I'm very jealous.

Love Love Love it....great organization...I should be so lucky to have what you got....I have a shop that I have to run on a generator away from the main house...I sharpen clipper blades as well & my husband caters which he now has taken over part of my 12' x 16' she shed.... Gotta work together for bit till he gets the barn emptied out...

 

[loriag]

Very nice, and what a great son.

 

[KristaY]

It's a beautiful, well organized and designed space reinbeau! My hubby and son built mine a few years ago and I LOVE it. Not only because it's my soap sanctuary but mostly because 2 of the men I love most in the world did it for me. I'm sure you feel the same!
