It works! And there was much rejoicing!

The shelf unit is put together. It's another of the restaurant rack type. I put the wheels on as it is in the cubby where the main water shut-off valve for the house is. I can remove one storage box and get to to it but I'd rather not take any chances.

I got all the baronial storage boxes on it and now I can get to each one without the song and dance I had before when they were just piled on top of each other. Go me! I still have to find a place for the card tables and the throne parts but that job is for today.

These racks are available at Sam's Club and, according to the box, each shelf will hold 600 lbs. I don't need that much weight baring capacity but they are sturdy and come with wheels. They also all look similar. They are reasonable too, only $78.00

Sam's club had another heavy duty shelving unit that snaps together but I have to take some measurements to see if it will fit in the back room. It might be too tall for the ceiling back there.

I'm annoyed that I cannot get to bins when I want to. This is all important because we have no attic storage and don't want to pay for a storage rental. So the back room and the outside shed are it. The storage system we have now (if you can call it that) is not convenient at all. We don't have a lot of junk as we have pared down greatly which helps but, add to that, Aelfwynn's art work is starting to pile up back there and it's getting to where I can't GET to much easily.

Things are changing slowly but surely for the better.

Posty MacPostalot, because I can.

Today sees me continue on a plan of organizing stuff. I'm working on my shelf unit for sewing and SCA projects. Not a lot of purge today just rearranging.

Someone, I cannot remember who, (Alina maybe?) recently told me it is helpful to them to have their fabric stash out on a shelf neatly folded where it can be easily seen. Instead of storing it all in bins. They found that with the fabric visible they were saving a great deal of money by not re-purchasing what they already owned.

I only have a small stash but have trouble getting motivated to make new garb because I forget just what I have available to use. So I listened to the advice, pulled it all out of the bins, cleared off a couple of shelves, and laid it neatly on. I actually have a decent stash to make some new garb. Who knew?

This plan of action also cleared two large bins out of the family room. It also forced me to straighten up the rest the shelves that had become crammed full only because stuff was getting crammed on instead of put away properly.

I found the rest of my new del project for KAC and the spare fabric for it. Now I can work on finishing it.

I have to get back to work because it has to be done by Friday when I will be hosting a guest for the MD Sheep and Wool Festival.

See Ya!
