August 17, 20215 yr Author Popular Post comment_269685 When we were scavenging for pallets at the local land fill, we found a couple 50" tall/long, 10" deep, X 10" wide shipping boxes made of 3/4" pine. Yesterday, we hung them vertically, 38" apart and 35" above the floor. Then, we used a peg board template to space holes in the inside sides for shelf pegs. The 38" space between the boxes were spanned with 4 ea. semi equally spaced 3/4" MDF shelves. Finally, we made and installed four 3/4" oak ply shelves in each box. All materials were from scrap pieces. Didn't need to purchase anything. As soon as I can get the unholy mess from the construction cleaned up, I'll get some pics. Report

August 18, 20215 yr Author Popular Post comment_269762 The tall boxes are full! The cleaning and organizing process is underway. Cleaning will be done in an hour. The organizing? Probably never! There will always be something out of place and, I won't know it till I try to find it. Report
