What is an area of your home that could use a whole new level of organization?
For the family I work for, it was this extra storage space for their serving dishes, trays and platters. They have lived in this home for several years and - to put it simply - were playing a game of Jenga every time they needed an item.
The mom had asked me to help think of a solution that would allow them to use their air rights. I looked at various styles including pull out cabinet organizers, and expandable shelves but in the end I knew the best way to maximize the space was to build a custom solution for them.
I know that this is definitely outside of the normal skillset for a Family Assistant, but I love DIY construction, woodworking and customizing a home to better fit the needs of a person/ family. This is one of my strong skills and a hobby so I decided to bring up my tools and build it once they approved the design and estimate for time & materials.
I used a wide variety of tools to complete this project and worked on it on & off for 3 days. I am so happy with how it turned out! What do you think — is it more useful for them?
What is a unique skill you would love to have in a Family Assistant?
