Now that I had a plan, we bought more of that expensive plywood to make the shelving and cut it to size based on the type of shelving we wanted. I also had to pre-drill holes in the vertical shelving in case we wanted to adjust the shelves.
 |
| The bottom of the board was angled so we could fit shoes, etc. at the bottom and still see them. Notice the foot on the bottom of the board for stability. |
 |
| Bought a new Jegs jig and went overboard with the holes. We didn't need that many holes. |
 |
| First measure and install cleats at the top and bottom; notice that the nice new flooring is protected with cardboard |
 |
| Install the vertical shelving to the cleats, mount a new cleat up against it, and so on. |
 |
| The board against the wall can be mounted to the wall |
 |
| Painting the shelving and the cleats first is recommended |
 |
| Lots of measuring, custom cuts, and re-cutting. Can you find the level in the photo? |
 |
| I installed metal mounting brackets where no one could see them but that was overkill (just in case) |
 |
| Leveling the top shelving was a little tricky |
 |
| Also added top and middle cross bars for hangers |
 |
| The final touch was a mounted bookcase |
