Basement plan for tomorrow night
Melissa will be in Appleton most of the day tomorrow, so I need to figure out what I’m going to do in the evening. I’ll probably run to The Home Depot and get some electrical boxes so that I can get started on figuring out where to put them in the basement. It will be nice having more than 1 outlet down there. My dad is coming over Sunday to help me hook everything up. I should probably start looking at lighting options and suspended ceilings as well.
I’m also going to be hanging some shelving in the storage area. I’m putting up the same kind I put up in my garage. They are the ones that have the slots, and the brackets just snap in. Each bracket is rated at 240 pounds, and each shelf usually has 3 brackets. So basically, you don’t have to worry about the capacity. In some places, I can hang the bars right from the top of the concrete walls. In other places where pipes are in the way, I’m going to secure them with concrete screws. I’ll post some photos once I get them up. Once that is done, I can finally move everything in the basement into the storage room down there.
