For seven years, I dealt with a pantry that had just 4 2-foot deep wire shelves, which bowed under any kind of weight, until Jim installed some wood supports. The depth meant that things got lost (witness the 2-year-old jar of peanut butter I found way in the back -- we go through the stuff so fast, I bet I've bought countless jars since that one). And some items just didn't stack well on those shelves. Something had to be done. So Jim went to work, installing 12-inch deep laminated shelves, supported on all three sides to avoid warping, and spaced so that we could get one more shelf in. Then he painted everything. The result was amazing. I seem to have way more room than you would think, having effectively cut the shelf space in half. Most suprising of all is how much better I can see everything now!
Thanks, honey. Great job!
Saturday my pantry looked like this:
Sunday it looked like this:
"Starving children in China would be happy to eat this . . ."
Tonight it looks like this:
(Yes, all that stuff on the table did fit into this space!)
