Before, During and After Shelves

Ok, this is where we started.........

What a mess! Where in the world did I get all this junk?

The garage becomes the catch all for everything

but unuseable for anything

My brother, Mike, designed and built me some new shelves

we hired our friend Joe to help him

Here is Mike and Joe workign furiously to get this done

It went up relatively quickly

Ran out of nails but other than that Mike

had figured almost perfectly what was going to be needed

to build this up front.

Had one small piece of 2x4 left over and some very small pieces of

the shelf topping left over

and here is the finished shelves!

No this is not all of the stuff that was on the others...

but I was able to fit all of the junk that

sat in front of the other shelves onto these

but these were the only things that looked organized enough to take

a decent picture for posting!

Now to tackle the REST of the room!

Mike is going to build us a workbench and

some shelves over and under that

plus leave a section at the end for some of the taller stuff we have to store...

pretty nice huh?

Mike says these things could hold hundreds of pounds...

Hopefully I won't have to find out their limits...

though with MY JUNK

I probably could!

thanks mike.
