I’m not so sure about the build cheaper than buying but THIS shelf is meant to be a workhorse and the shelving available to purchase is definitely not made so well. 😉

Yep, Rodney’s taken. I’ve known his wife for YEARS. They found each other again after many years apart when the Mrs. lost her husband. It’s such a sweet story.

I can’t wait to get a January thaw. I need to do some stuff outside!

Great Idea and looks really simple so I believe I will make one for my tiny shop. That is why I LOVE looking forward to your ideas each week! Rodney seems to be a Godsend to you, I would say marry the guy but I saw the wedding ring lol. When I get my shop done (weather has to warm up to finish painting) I will send you a photo to show you how much ladies like you inspire me!

Nice job! We have been talking about tackling the garage and adding shelves for organization. I know I can build them for a lot less than I can buy them.. Love the idea of attaching them to the ceiling! Pinned!

Love those shelves! I couldn’t agree more with your takeaway list! My projects ALWAYS take longer than I think they will.

Jen,

I was pretty proud of myself for thinking of attaching the shelf to the ceiling in the basement. It’s a really solid (heavy) shelf! I’m so happy to help you think of great storage and work options for your basement. Unfinished basements are rarely used to their full potential. 😉

Yay, you’re making progress. I’m almost finished but it’s still not going to be a “pretty” space. It’s for working, so I’m okay with that.

I can’t imagine moving and having to make those decisions on what to toss and what to keep. ugh!

I would NEVER pay $30 for a bed set. I hope you find a better deal really soon.

Good luck as we head for the finish line, we can do this, right?

We’re half way there? Oh Lord, I make good progress on the weekend. And I can see the carpet on the floor now, in spots. I thought I purged everything before we moved to the little house. I didn’t, I still have stuff that I’m thinking why did I bring that here. On a more fun note, I did buy an early American bi-level end table to make into a LEGO/duplo/mega block table for my grandson. So that’s only 5 projects because I refuse to spend $30 for a twin head and footboard.

Nice. Never would have thought of attaching to the ceiling for more stability, but it makes so much sense. Part of my, basement looks like your workroom, with the concrete walls and the exposed ceiling. This opens up so much possibility. Thanks for the inspiration,
