More storage

Reconfiguring the house for proper storage, part 4 (or five or six or something):

Today was putting up some storage in the garage.  The previous owner had two flimsy "ClosetMaid" wire racks that are intended for "linen storage."  Interpretation: linen storage means light weight, a couple of towels! So I took one down, and I'm so sorry there's not a 'before' picture. It is all packaged up and ready to go to either ReStore or Goodwill.

The replacement is Rubbermaid's Fastrack system, supposed to hold some ginormous poundage. Not difficult to install, except I've been running into problems with any installation here because the wood is old enough to have to go back and make bigger pre-drills than the directions call for.

One finished rack:

There are five shelves, and room on the right side to add a hanging cabinet or tool hangers or ??? The step ladder in the picture goes back out to the shop. A 4' long rack will go on the other side of the garage (The racks in the picture are 4', but the overall system is 7'.)

We have already made enough room in the garage to park one vehicle, and we are getting close to being able to put both inside!

Guess I still owe a post on the grab rail fiasco.
