Last week I asked Lennard if we had enough MDF to make a shelf to go over our freezer. From there (like usual with us) the idea sort of took off. The wall wasn’t finished behind the freezer, so Lennard suggested that we go buy a couple sheets of OSB and cover the walls quick and then put the shelf up. I was good with that idea, so we started out pulling out the freezer and can rotator and got a couple sheets of OSB up. Then all kinds of ideas started popping up.
We decided to pull out our shelving units that we’d bought from Costco and put them in our ‘Cave’ (storage area under the kitchen). Once they were pulled out then we were able to finish off the wall. Then we decided to open up the window again that has been boarded up for quite a few years. It’s nice to have natural light in that room again! We then tried the Shelf Reliance in a couple different locations and decided where it would fit best. We got the freezer moved to under the window and then built shelves for the other wall. We initially thought about building heavier duty shelves, but in cleaning up we found a bunch of brackets for adjustable shelving and just decided to through them up so we could get everything put away and organized.
They turned out great and we have everything put away and even the #10 cans inventoried! I love being able to see what we have (and don’t have) quickly. I am very happy with what we’ve managed to get accomplished today. The kids were amazing and thankfully the weather cooperated and they played outside most of the time. Gotta love having a productive day… though I could definitely use a hot tub now!
Last week – two sheets of OSB up.
This morning. Window opened up.
The rest of the OSB up, the freezer moved and can rotator in place.
The final product! Love! I didn’t take a picture around the corner, but all the shelving in the back is now strictly #10 can storage, water and emergency food items.
That made a big difference! Good job!
