Living alone produces its challenges. But I refuse to concede.
My latest challenge has been making space.
The question was, “Doors… or… more shelf space?”
The answer was obvious. Screw aesthetics. I’ll deal with that later.
But… look at how much I can store now!
You’re looking at four 23″ x 20″ additional shelves.
All I need to do is trim them out with some laminate stripping.
And guess what.
I get to do the same thing on the other side… after I go pick up more shelf pins… of course. Always some little something.
This entire problem was resolved with only one sheet of ¾” melamine board!
I had two Heroes… Skylar and Malakay at Home Depot #0743. They did a great job helping me out.
I would have gone to Lowe’s… of course… had it not been for an employee not being trained properly. He burned up their saw by cutting composite sheets.
Both of these two Home Improvement chains really suck at thorough training… and staffing… all across the country.
I can speak from personal experience. And believe me… I am not alone with that opinion!
But you do what you have to do…. Until you buy your own woodshop tools.
Look at the leftovers!
Not only do I have shelves for the other side of the unit.
I now have four 2’ x 9” shelves.
And two 20” x 4.5” shelves!
I only need wall brackets.
I’ll hunt for some cute ones when I go for the shelf pins.
But not today.
I have 2 bookcases to finish putting together… now that I have that teenie tiny wooden dowel that held me up.
