Pictured is the first of many such shelves that we are planning on building to improve the function and aesthetic of this space. We will be making a wall of these in the garage for our February and March home improvement project.
Supplies:
1 8x4 sheet of flooring cut to 4' x 18" at the store
12 2x3x8 limber
Electric saw (unless you have the lumber cut at the store also)
Screws
Electric screwdriver
Pencil
Tape measure
Custom plans
Tubs (optional)
We purchased all of our supplies at Lowe's because it's the closest, by far. The total for the wood came to about $50.00 for one custom unit.
For my space I needed a depth of no more than 21". To make the best use of the space and materials I went with 8' high and 4' wide.
Drawing up the plans ahead of time was a great help. We did end up altering them a bit but added those changes to my drawing as we went. That really made it easy when we built the second one.... and then the third..... and the forth.
Now that we have a wall of custom shelves for organizing our stuff, it's time to actually organize.
I hope your home improvement adventures are going well.
