I have been working on constructing some more shelving in our basement, so we can get a little more organized down there. To that effort I have been working on building some built in shelving units to replace a stand alone shelving unit from ikea. Here is the story in pictures so far.
I also put in a small door for the kids to use to enter the area under the stairs as a play house. It will probably be awhile before I get around to dry walling the interior, but the kids don't care.

I built the cabinets in the garage and hauled them down on a dolly, that was a mistake I should have cut and routed in the garage and glued it in the basement. I built a jig out of peg board to drill the holes for the adjustable shelves which worked pretty well.

I built the two tall shelves and brought them down. They are not perfectly square, but once the face front is on I don't think anyone will be the wiser. Jen didn't notice so I will call that a win!

It took me awhile but I was able to build some smaller upper cabinets as well. They are 15 inches deep instead of the 24 inches of the tall cabinets. I am very glad I did that, since they are almost sticking out too much as is when you are coming around the corner. As you can see they are filled already... sigh!
