Shelving

So... there's been this big ol' leftover cabinet-desk blocking our halway entrance for 5 months. (Refer back to "The new kids room" post for where it came from). Anyway, a month ago I spent the better part of 2 hours just breaking it down into pieces to be taken to the trash. That was before I realize that it would have been easier, and cheaper to have the thing picked whole as a piece of furniture (becasue the garbage men won't pick it up).

But then one morning (the last morning of my summer holiday in fact) it came to me! We were in serious need of shelving for our outdoor closet. After a quick couple of measurements, it turned out that the leftovers were almost the perfect fit for the closet.

What follows is the constructions an installment of a new shelf for our place.




Perfect fit, cost only 2 hours of labor, and now there's nothing to try and sneak into the garbage!
