Ha ha figured out how to get the shelfs to grow

On the good side, it is really going to look NICE when you are done. But on the other side, I am with Silke smiling (just a little) that you didn’t measure to make sure the moving boxes fit! What a lot of work you have to do over again!! What’s the saying? “Measure twice, pound once??”

(Please forgive me for poking a little fun at you! You know I mean it in good spirit! You can laugh at me on my next mistake!)

I am glad to see you both still smiling. That is what is important. It is really going to be nice and organized when you are done there. I hope you can still find everything!

Take care and give your daughter a hug (and a raise!) :)

yep that shuoldn´t be a problem Sheila… everything has its own place …..LOL

Hey Dennis,
Now those are some nice shelves. I have similar steel shelves in a storage ocean container. 18” wide in the west side and 12” wide on the east all the way to the ceiling. And where is all the stuff stacked? Right! in the aisle way!

Maybe you should get smaller boxes. Then it will be easier to find the stuff. :)

Seriously, clear plastic boxes are great. I also tape an index card on the outside telling me what is inside. It makes everything easy to find.

That is going to be great to get all of that stuff organized! I am happy for you! :D

Looks like a wood project to me. That looks to me like wood shelves with metal supports. Nice job on the assembly pointers. Those things are tricky to put together. Those shelves should store all of your “tools” up out of harms way for whatever comes your way.

Dennis, remember my rule on assembly… When all else fails, read the instructions! The new shelves look good , strong and a nice color!

very nice shelves dennis

my advice is to leave them like that

messes never clean up
so leave the boxes as they are

that way the shelves
will always look good

It looks like you have a long sorting project ahead.

The shelves looks really nice.

Great Looking Shelves Dennis!!
A few more times, taking them apart and re-constructing them, and you will be an expert… But don’t feel bad… none of us are perfect…
When I first mounted my home-made paper towel holder…
I centered it under the cabinet, because I thought it would look balanced…
It looked great, but I couldn’t remove the wooden roller from either side, and I couldn’t add any more paper towels…
As bad as that was, when I made one for Debbie’s old apartment I did the same thing!! LOL
Don’t let it throw you my Friend!!
Sorry to hear about the speeding ticket, Life is too short to be in a hurry!! :)

Rule No. 1…Never force it, get a bigger hammer. That way you won’t break the handle.

I have a bunch of heavy duty shelving simillar to this, some in the shop, and whole lot in a triangular storage area adjacent to the shop. It takes a little ezperimentation to get the best spacing…for sure. But I have nothing standard size going in them, so nothing was critical. It is older and somewhat sturdier than yours.

At LaConner, I have shelving that looks a lot more like these in my shop there. Seems to me I did a little prebending of tabs and things. I suspect they are about as sturdy as yours are. But the big story is, once you get them up, storage areas are a lot more useful.

Sadly I have no funny stories to tell about them…I’ll depend on you for that..keep up the good work…....(-:
