Spring Into Action (week 2) & a Waffle
Welcome back to week 2 of Spring Into Action. I am tackling my basement shelving that I have been procrastinating for over a year! You can go to the beginning, here. There are 11 other bloggers working on their DIY's, too.
Before I tell you about my progress....my window boxes are onDancing With the Stars The Waffler. Where America blogland gets to vote for their favorite. If you have an extra "click" in you today...go here, and vote for your favorite look for my house! If you are feeling indecisive about something in your life, have The Waffler poll blogland for a vote.
Now, back to the basement shelving. Here is my old shelving that no longer fits
It is just 1x12 pine boards that I cut down. As you can see, I used large cleats to hold the shelves
The large cleats prevent storage boxes from stacking neatly. Also, the shelves are an awkward width
More wasted space! Since I need to chop them up, anyway......might as well (famous last words) really make them custom. I disassembled the shelves
Sanded all the rough spots from the previous glue, etc
...now I need to measure and reassemble. I have 1 week left for that. As for the dehumidifier....I wanted to install a hose to the back
Here are the parts
I followed the manufactures instructions
...and this happened
I can't get it close to the wall (insert bad words)! I need a 90 degree bend so the hose will lay straight. I can't imagine why I procrastinated on this project. it has been nothing but fun? Looks like I will be spending this lovely weekend in the basement. Come back next week to see if I put all of this curbside for bulky trash! To see the reveal, go here.
Now let's see how the other projects arefailing doing!
