We needed a bit more storage for food; let's face it, our 'wardrobe' consists of clothes than can be folded, scrunched and layed on. We really don't need a closet. Or two. Or three.
The closet next to the fridge was in need of a little adjustment. Shelves.
First, let's clear the air; I hate finish carpentry. Dovetail joints are neat, I like looking at them, glad people enjoy it. Staining, sanding, fitting, putty and all...you can have it. We all have our niche in life...this ain't mine.
Threw together some simple shelves. The sides of the closet were typical thin luan, so I added some 3/8" ply to each side. They give the shelves something much beefer for the shear of the screws for the glides. Those panels are glued (panel adhesive) and screwed at the edges.
The shelves are dadoe'd into the frames, glued and pinned. No, I didn't use any putty over the staple holes. The nerve..
Next, I fit the shelves and hung the hardware. Easy peasy.
Some Danish oil, a few coats of spray on Poly, wire wool scrub and back together.
NOW, I've got a bigger pantry.
We bought a forth wire rack for the existing slide out. The AF's come with three, but as you can see, 4 fit fine and increase the storage that much more.
I figure at an avg of 14 oz per can of food, x 665 cans I can fit in the new area, I've added approx. 585# to my weight. I'm happy to announce that it's all in front of my completely irrelevant COG sticker. We're good to go.
