I need to set up storage space alongside my workbench. Today I grabbed the back of an envelope scribbled some plans and went off and bought the wood. I love how inexpensive good lumber (timber) is here. $7 for an eight-foot length of 2″x10″. Tonight it’s almost complete – though to get the shelving unit into place I’ll have to disconnect a bracket holding the garage door frame.

2019: While my notes on this picture say I was shopping for lumber, I have a suspicion that this picture was actually taken in ACE hardware when I bought the feet for the shelving — Lowes don’t stock that item (well they didn’t then). The display’s don’t look like Lowes, and I see feet are mentioned in my shopping list.
